CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION <br />January 2, 2018 <br />167 Mayor Reinert asked for an update on development plans for the area. Mr. Grochala <br />168 noted that a convenience store proposal has been broached in the area. The council did <br />169 not express interest in such a development. Mayor Reinert remarked that he envisioned <br />170 something on the site that would serve as a gateway to the city. Community <br />171 Development Director Grochala noted the master plan prepared in 2007. The council <br />172 asked about an estimate of the cost for WSB & Associates to prepare plans and <br />173 specifications. Staff explained that they would investigate costs further. <br />174 <br />175 The council heard from residents of the area. Concern about noise and closeness to <br />176 residential properties remains a concern. The mayor remarked that it's the council's job <br />177 make sure that developments that occur in the city are appropriate to the city. <br />178 9. NE Drainage Area Land Acquisition — Community Development Director <br />179 Grochala reported. His report relates to the big channel project. The watershed district <br />18o has the project under review. He's seeking council direction to get a proposal from WSB <br />181 to move on land acquisition. This would be a corridor acquisition and potentially <br />182 acquisition relating to remnants. The Lennar project will be somewhat dependent on the <br />183 project. Council Member Rafferty asked how the city will recoup costs —Mr. Grochala <br />184 explained fees. <br />185 <br />186 The council concurred with staff s request; Mayor Reinert asked about the wisdom of <br />187 going out for bids for something like this. Community Development Director Grochala <br />188 remarked that the city has pretty much stuck with WSB, for different reasons such as they <br />189 are already involved in the projects making their services generally more efficient. Mr. <br />190 Grochala explained his process that includes overview of the city engineer (already on <br />191 contract). <br />192 10. Review Regular Agenda <br />193 <br />194 Regarding the consent agenda, Council Member Stoesz remarked that the expenditure list <br />195 can be difficult to read as far as how all the expenditures relate to the actual city budget. <br />196 For instance, how do the expenditures fit into the overall line items in the budget that they <br />197 represent? Mayor Reinert asked Administrator Karlson what he uses to follow the <br />198 budget as a manager. Mr. Karlson explained the budgeting document that each <br />199 department director receives. The council concurred that they'd like that made available. <br />200 <br />201 Council Member Rafferty asked questions about expenditures to Century College for <br />202 training (law enforcement and fire). Public Safety Director Swenson remarked that one <br />203 is an annual training situation; for people that can't get into that class, they may be sent to <br />204 other classes. <br />205 <br />206 Council Member Rafferty noted expenses related to utility bill envelopes and asked about <br />207 how to reduce those costs — is there a cheaper way to provide bills. He also asked about <br />208 range expenses for police shooting activity. And he asked about petty cash in the Police <br />
