CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL WORK SESSION June 5, 2017 <br /> <br />DRAFT <br /> <br /> 4 <br />at a higher level. Ms. Asleson said he was present when the original culvert was 130 <br />replaced and it was not put in at a higher level. 131 <br /> 132 <br />Mayor Reinert suggested that the immediate issue has been addressed. Area resident 133 <br />said the water is higher than it was twenty years ago and Mayor Reinert asked how that 134 <br />could be addressed. Mr. Grochala explained that the culvert was put in at the point 135 <br />acceptable to the RCWD. Ms. Hankee noted that staff has added pond cleaning in the 136 <br />area to the city’s water management program and they have added other improvements to 137 <br />plans. She added that flood insurance is available to the area residents as well. 138 <br /> 139 <br />Mr. Schmidt talked about the work planned by the RCWD (ditch cleaning, i.e.) and 140 <br />district wide impacts of changes. They will help when they are called upon and staff here 141 <br />at the city have been good at keeping an eye on things. 142 <br /> 143 <br />Mayor Reinert suggested the matter be watched carefully (as has been done to this point) 144 <br />and staff will add the matter to the weekly progress report. If this continues to be a 145 <br />problem, it will have to be addressed long term. 146 <br />4. 2018 City Budget – Mayor Reinert noted that the budget agenda item includes a 147 <br />salary change for an employee; he would prefer to handle all salary topics at the same 148 <br />time, with the union increases and anything else in that area. Administrator Karlson said 149 <br />he wanted the information on the table. On the budget, he noted the following will be 150 <br />plugged into the budget at this time: 151 <br />- 2.75% overall cost of living increase; 152 <br />- Anticipates a 15% increase in health care; 153 <br /> 154 <br />Finance Director Cotton explained the changes to the budget consideration process that 155 <br />staff plans for this year. There will be a baseline budget and beyond that directors are 156 <br />expected to submit detailed information for any changes. She explained the budget 157 <br />review schedule. 158 <br /> 159 <br />Mayor Reinert asked for a report on what costs have gone down, i.e. bonds for the city 160 <br />hall facility will be paid off, savings on outsourcing, etc. 161 <br /> 162 <br />Director Cotton reviewed the written report: 163 <br />- Preliminary estimates on tax revenues; 164 <br />- Use of funds from the Closed Bond Fund and reserve funds; 165 <br />- Current information on fund balance; 166 <br />- Increase projected in dental insurance; 167 <br />- Increase in employee contribution to PERA that will be pulled out if not approved 168 <br />at the state level. 169
