MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />DECEMBER 16, 1993 <br />RESOLUTION NO. 93-12-299 - GRANTING APPROVAL TO THE <br />1994 10% CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT LISTING AS SUBMITTED <br />The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Pedersen. <br />Ayes (4) LaValle, Pedersen, Hanson, Morelan. <br />Nays (1) Soalze. Resolution declared adopted. <br />The City Administrator recommended that a workshop be <br />scheduled to begin review of proposed capital <br />improvements and establishment of capital improvement <br />priorities. The Administrator believed that multiple <br />sessions may be needed to complete the process. <br />Scalze asked who would be expected to attend this <br />workshop. <br />The City Administrator reported that his expectation is <br />that the City Council, Department Heads, and the Park & <br />Recreation Commission Chair would attend the workshop. <br />The Administrator recommended that the first workshop <br />be scheduled in January. <br />Scalze suggested that capital improvements may be a <br />topic addressed in the City survey. <br />The Administrator agreed, but felt that the City should <br />do a preliminary ranking at this point. The <br />Administrator pointed out that the survey itself is on <br />the capital improvement listing. The Administrator <br />stated that if the City is going to do a survey, he <br />wanted to be sure that the Council and staff were <br />focused as a group on what the survey is expected to <br />accomplish for the City. Discussions on prioritization <br />of capital improvement items may help in focusing the <br />group. <br />Scalze pointed out that in the first survey, tough <br />questions were asked, and the City did use the results <br />of that survey. Scalze felt that it can be somewhat <br />controversial to ask tough questions, and there may be <br />individuals who may not want to know the answers to <br />those questions. Scalze felt that the commitment <br />needed to be there to do the survey, and if individuals <br />were not prepared to ask the tough questions, the <br />survey should not be done. <br />Morelan felt that if a question needed an answer, the <br />Council and staff would be prepared to ask it. <br />Scalze believed that the Council may get feedback from <br />people who may not want to ask certain questions, and <br />she wanted the Council to be aware of this. <br />Page 18 <br />
