Money: Fund discussion will be deferred ■ Continued from Page 1 than once. Wiley said she believed many citizens think urban renewal money could be used to fund cul tural and recreational programs. However, Lew Bowers, city di rector of community develop ment, said state law mandates the use of money collected for urban renewal to fulfill the plans and benefit the district. But if the dis trict were terminated, Bowers said, the money could not be used to fund recreation or cultural ser vices. “People want to know is there a quick fix or a silver bullet and the answer is clearly no,” Bowers said. Complicating the issue even further is the individual way ur ban renewal districts are treated under Measure 5, Measure 47 and could be treated under Measure 50 if it passes. In addition to the elections, the state legislature has yet to define how urban renewal is affected by Measure 47, Bowers said. “The one thing that seems con sistent through each of these is that there is very little to no mon ey that will flow to the city’s bot tom line by termination of the dis trict," Wiley said. With this uncertainty in mind, City Council President Laurie Swanson Gribskov said the coun cil decided to defer the discussion until June 18, when both the elec tions and the legislature’s defini tion will be clearer. Gribskov said the council real izes the city would not gain mon ey in its general fund to add back services by terminating the river front district, but the issue in her mind is what direction the city wishes to go in regard to funding the project.
