Fiscal Note
The proposed resolution amends the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions at the Center For Industry and Commerce (CIC), to provide that the City will pay for the construction and maintenance of bike and pedestrian paths in the CIC. No appropriation is required at this time for path completion or maintenance, but it is anticipated that City agencies will include requests in future budgets for additional funding and reallocations of existing funds, subject to approval by the Common Council.
