MEMO TO: Mayor and Council
SUBJECT: Consignment of Property
DATE: May 11, 1994
With the addition of two police officers, the police department
faces unbudgeted uniform expenses. These will be dealt with
through appropriate budget adjustment through the finance
department .
In order to help offset some of those costs, I am requesting
authorization to dispose of several firearms in our possession.
1 - Colt, Model 2000 Semi-automatic (retired as independent
test showed Model unreliable in police service)
1 - Smith & Wesson, Model 686, 4 inch Revolver (retired
as Sgt . Churchill' s duty weapon)
1 - Smith & Wesson, Model 686, 6 inch Revolver (retired
Chief' s weapon - Note, this was the last revolver
in full time service causing unneeded duplication of
training programs)
I propose the consignment of these guns through a registered
Federal Firearms Dealer. With the enactment of The Brady Bill, we
can be sure of legal sale of the weapons.
While this sale won' t offset our entire unbudgeted uniform expense,
it will help defer some of the cost. I estimate the value of these
weapons to be in excess of $700 .
If you have any questions or comments, I will encourage you to
contact me prior to the council meeting.

Subject : Demolition feasibility study
Date : June 1, 1994
The Farmington HRA requests the City Council to have a feasibility
study performed for the demolition of the buildings at these
following addresses :
1 . 213 Oak Street - Larson Electric Store
2 . 340 and 342 Third Street - the two lean-tos north of the
Exchange Bank Building.
The HRA has submitted an extension request for the CDBG deadline

Ref : Exchange Bank Building
Larson Electric Building
Dear Mr. Smith:
The Farmington Housing and Redevelopment Authority on behalf of the
City Council request a one year extension to the Community
Development Block Grant deadline associated with the Exchange Bank
Building and the Larson Electric Building.
For the past year, the HRA has been working with the Sienna
Corporation in an effort to renovate the Exchange Bank Building.
At this time, the Sienna Corporation has been unable to find a
financially satisfactory solution to this project . Attached is a
copy of the work that has been performed by Sienna Corporation in
an effort to resolve the financial problem.
The Farmington HRA has ordered a feasibility study for the
demolition of the Larson Electric Building and the two small lean-
to buildings north of the Exchange Bank Building (part of the
Exchange Bank Building acquisition) . The feasibility study will be
completed by mid June. These study results will be submitted to
the bidding process to determine the costs . The bidding process
will take approximately one month to complete . In July, the
demolition bid will be awarded to a contractor. The actual
demolition work will commence in July 1994 . By demolishing these
structures, the HRA will have removed approximately 75% of the
blighted condition.
The HRA and Sienna Corporation intend to continue their joint
efforts to obtain financing for the renovation of the Exchange Bank
Building. With the one year extension for the Community
Development Block Grant, it is felt the financial resolve for the
renovation should be completed by Sienna and the Farmington HRA.
The FHRA requests a 1 year CDBG deadline extension for the Exchange
Bank Building.
If there are any questions, please feel free to contact me at
463-7111 .
Sincerely, ,��� /�

Memo to: Mayor and Council
Subject: CIP Workshop
Date: June 2, 1994
A copy of the proposed 1994-1998 CIP was distributed earlier this year. The format of the CIP
was significantly changed to show greater detail and impact of projects on tax rates and user fees.
Since the report was distributed, Staff has obtained additional information which has allowed for
a more accurate report. Many of the estimated 1994 project costs are now actual costs. The draft
copy of the CIP was placed on the backburner due to staff involvement with the annexation hear-
ings. I feel it is now time to hold a workshop to discuss the report and receive Staff input. I
would therefore request that a date be set for a CIP workshop.
On a side note, the Council had also indicated it should also hold a workshop on special assess-
ments. The Council may wish to hold the assessment and CIP workshops on the same evening or
set a separate date.
