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