CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION <br />APPROVED <br />91 Council Member Stoesz remarked that the 12th Street trail is an important budget item for <br />92 him. He is interested in looking at street lighting and possible savings in that area. <br />93 <br />94 Council Member Maher noted her concern about cutting the additional police officer <br />95 position. Mayor Reinert mentioned that the position was proposed for the very end of the <br />96 year and he willo w -upcQming de-velopment and police needs. <br />97 <br />98 Council Member Rafferty said he sees good headway made but he will continue to review <br />99 the budget. He mentioned upcoming labor contracts and would like to discuss <br />100 expectations in that area. <br />101 <br />102 Ms. Cotton said the health insurance rates are not yet clear but may be before the <br />103 preliminary consideration. <br />104 <br />105 Mayor Reinert said he will be continuing his review of the budget and expects to have <br />106 another meeting. <br />107 <br />108 Kelly Gunderson, 135 Ulmer Drive, noted the 12th Avenue trail; what's the difference <br />109 between the amount originally funding and not proposed. Mr. DeGardner explained that <br />110 there are three funding sources that will be used for the trail so other sources will make up <br />111 the difference. <br />112 <br />113 Ms. -Gun d erson also -suggested that the City's-Pavement Management Plan is funded <br />114 lightly and she believes that road management is very important to residents. She noted <br />115 her area of Sunrise Park and the problems with the streets in that area. As a citizen she is <br />116 concerned those streets (and others in the City) will reach a difficult situation of disrepair <br />117 before the Plan calls for reconstruction. Mayor Reinert explained how the pavement <br />118 budget has been increased during his time on the council. Director Grochala suggested <br />119 that storm water is a big issue in the Sunrise Park area; now staff is trying to come up <br />120 with an interim process to match what's needed. Ms. Gunderson remarked that many <br />121 residents are replacing septic systems so they will not be interested in street <br />122 reconstruction; perhaps a mill and overlay for a decade is a best solution. <br />123 <br />124 The council will have the next budget discussion as part of the September 3rd work <br />125 session. <br />126 <br />127 <br />128 <br />129 <br />130 <br />131 <br />The meeting was adjourned at 6:05 p.m. <br />These minutes were considered, corrected and approved at the regular Council meeting held on <br />Se-ptember 9, 2019. <br />132 <br />133 <br />13 <br />135 Juli e Bartell, Ci Clerk <br />3 <br />
