CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION <br />September 10, 2018 <br />.. 1 <br />44 Finance Director Cotton recalled her request that the council designate funds to cover the <br />45 Recreation Fund deficit. Mayor Reinert said he wouldn't want to reduce the $400,000 <br />46 for that purpose but would rather see the funds come from contingency. Ms. Cotton then <br />47 explained that the increase in the yearly levy would then be about 3.94%. <br />48 <br />49 Mayor Reinert noted that this would represent the maximum levy amount — a reduction <br />50 would still be possible. <br />51 <br />52 Ms. Cotton explained the amount of reserve funds that are included in the proposed. <br />53 budget that will be utilized and that the city reserve will still be at 50%. <br />54 <br />55 The council requested that they be informed of the county and school district(s) proposed <br />56 levies. <br />57 <br />58 Council Member Maher asked about the funding to Alexandra House. Chief Swenson <br />59 said this city hasn't traditionally provided funds for the services but they always request <br />60 it. He believes the service level has gone up. <br />61 <br />62 The council concurred that the $400,000 budget reserve will go toward the levy which <br />63 will then total $10,162,007. <br />64 <br />65 The council thanked Ms. Cotton for her work on the budget. <br />66 <br />67 The meeting was adjourned at 8:10 p.m. <br />68 <br />69 These minutes were considered, corrected and approved at the regular Council meeting <br />70 held on October 8, 2018. <br />71 <br />72 <br />73 <br />74 <br />75 JuZimni� Bartell, City CPrk <br />76 <br />2 <br />
