Fiscal Note
The City and property owners share the cost of the State Street / Capitol Square Mall Maintenance service. Total expenditures for the 2008/2009 service period were $776,638.26. The City pays for two-thirds of this service, which equals $517,758.84. The other one-third, $258,879.42 for the 2008/2009 service period, is chargeable to the property owners. Payments will be received in 2010, and the Parks 2010 Requested Operating Budget includes revenues of $198,002. The budgeted revenues are lower that the chargeable amounts. The main reason for this discrepancy is that the City considers certain University of Wisconsin properties to be chargeable, but the University has declined to pay these charges.
