CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION <br />APPROVED <br />December 4, 2017 <br />359 Director DeGardner remarked that ultimately it's up to the council on now funds are <br />1 earmarked. <br />361 <br />362 Director DeGardner then reviewed his report, including an inventory of park facilities <br />363 with assumptions on the life of equipment at those locations and estimated replacement <br />364 costs. This is really a first look at the system and what could be done. <br />365 <br />366 Council Member Manthey said he appreciates having all the information for use as the <br />367 council considers questions about these facilities. <br />368 <br />369 Director DeGardner then reviewed the sheet indicating cost estimates based an the future <br />370 master plan. <br />371 <br />372 Director DeGardner then reviewed the third list of possible future park developments that <br />373 are not a part of the master plan. <br />374 <br />375 Director DeGardner then reviewed a trail projects sheet. They are components that are <br />376 being followed with estimated costs. <br />377 <br />378 The next sheet reviewed is seen as a tool to put all the information into perspective to <br />379 give the council an idea of an annual investment requirement, based on a timeline out to <br />380 2045. It does give a sense of the magnitude of the work. <br />381 <br />382 Mr. DeGardner's final information presented was on the $30,000 that has traditionally <br />383 been budgeted for trails. <br />384 <br />385 Mayor Reinert suggested that he was looking for something with a little more consistency <br />386 in cost. He doesn't like the heavy front end and lighter back end. Ms. Cotton said it's <br />387 heavy on the front end due to the assumptions on life. <br />388 <br />389 Mayor Reinert suggested that it looks as if the city could dedicate $300,000 for next year. <br />390 He would support the recommendation. <br />391 <br />392 Council Member Rafferty asked about a culvert at Clearwater Creek; is that because the <br />393 trail is always underwater? Mr. DeGardner concurred. He concurs with the $300,000 <br />394 range to get things going and he wonders about adding more even if it's borrowed. He <br />395 touched on the recreation complex land. Mr. DeGardner suggested that this time of a <br />396 budget surplus is something that may not occur again. Council Member Rafferty asked <br />397 about putting some surplus funds into roads as well. Director Cotton warned that the <br />398 surplus may still be impacted by future needs. Council Member Rafferty asked if <br />399 $50,000 to roads is unrealistic. Director Grochala said there will be a surplus update in <br />400 January. <br />401 <br />
