4. OTHER BUSINESS
Interest on Park Fund Levy: Vanderpol asked for an update on this matter.
Sutberry explained that the interest on the Parks levy accrues to the capital fund rather
than the general fund. Van Zanten also commented.
Juvenile Detention Center: Warner asked for an update. Van Zanten said the
City is doing a major remodeling /construction job at City Hall at the same time as the
Courthouse addition will be taking place; this complicates matters. She explained some
difficulties that are occurring with the utilities under street level and with parking during
construction.
Health Capital Assets: In response to a query from Warner, Sutberry said
arbitration on this matter has not yet been scheduled; even so, the matter of dividing the
assets of the now - defunct Health District is close to being resolved.
