CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION 3uty 31, 2017 <br />APPROVED <br />90 Page 4 through Page 8— Revenues. Council Member Rafferty asked about the possibility <br />91 of raising park dedication fees and Director DeGardner said he has WSB looking at that <br />92 possibility. <br />93 <br />94 Mayor Reinert asked about the reduction in the ACE program. Director Swenson said <br />95 there are less inquiries and less completions. The CSO position for that program has not <br />96 been filled because the department's current staff is keeping up with the work. <br />97 <br />98 Mayor Reinert asked about the gas franchise. Administrator Karlson remarked that there <br />99 was a mild winter; it appears it was overbudgeted. Ms. Cotton added that staff is trying to <br />l oo true things up. <br />lol <br />102 The council discussed the lease of the day care facilities at city hall. The lease agreement <br />103 does have an escalator built in. <br />104 <br />105 Expenditures —Mayor Reinert asked why the Finance Department is going up. Director <br />106 Cotton pointed out that the increase is mainly related to personnel services. <br />107 <br />108 Mayor Reinert asked about legal expenditures, suggesting that the expenses are going <br />109 down but the budget isn't necessarily going down as much.

Mayor Reinert recalled the <br />119 history of pavement management, including development of a pavement management <br />12o plan. Director Grochala said he believes the city needs a newer evaluation and explained <br />121 the importance of reaching streets before their condition becomes poor. Mayor Reinert <br />122 remarked that it makes sense to maintain, especially in the case of the city's facilities; <br />123 he'd like that discussion at the next budget meeting. Council Member Maher suggested <br />124 that part of the discussion needs to be who is responsible for determining maintenance <br />125 schedules. Mayor Reinert added that things needs to be on a cycle for maintenance and <br />126 replacement. <br />127 <br />128 Page 16, last line— Council Member Maher asked if there are more dollars expended in <br />129 the second half of the year than the first —the budgeted amount is so much higher than <br />13o what's been spent. <br />131 <br />132 Economic Development Budget —Mayor Reinert asked about the value of funds <br />133 supporting the area tourism group. Administrator Karlson sits on the board and offered <br />3 <br />
