MINUTES CITY COUNCIL JUNE 24, 2019 paver replacement project move forward and authorize preparing the plans and specifications for the project. The City Administrator stated that the Finance Director is working on an additional fiinding source, but we are not ready with an answer for that. Keis confirmed that we have the fiinding to prepare the plans. Montour stated that he is tempted to just do concrete, but pavers are pervious which is a better option. The Public Works Director stated that the concrete will deteriorate with salt just like the pavers did. Keis suggested looking at a few options and the pricing.

He stated that staff is also looking at the rental licensing program that has only been lightly enforced over the last several years. If the Council still wants the existing ordinance to remain in place, then rental inspections should be brought in house and added to the code enforcement officer duties, which would also bring in revenue to help pay for the position. The City Administrator reported that the associate planner position would change from strictly planning, to also include working on economic development. He reviewed the organizational chart and the proposed changes. He noted that after a discussion with Council member Montour, there are additional changes to be made on the organizational chart.
