CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL WORK SESSION <br />APPROVED <br />45 <br />46 Mayor Rafferty questioned the Alexandra House line item under the Public Safety budget <br />47 adjustments. Public Safety Director Swenson noted the services provided by the <br />48 Alexandra House shelter for women who are impacted by domestic violence. Mayor <br />49 Rafferty remarked that the City hasn't provided funds previously; it's important work but <br />50 it may be a better fit for county funding. <br />51 <br />52 - Recreation and Special Events programming —highlighting what was cut during <br />53 COVID and what is currently not in budgets If the council would like to provide <br />54 certain events in the city in 2022, staff would recommend a .6 FTE recreation <br />55 programing position be included in the budget; warming house funding would <br />56 also have to be added if that service is desired; Federal funding is a possibility for <br />57 bringing back a position; <br />58 <br />59 Councilmember Stoesz noted an increase in the WSB & Associates retainer and <br />60 suggested that figure should be going down. Community Development Director Grochala <br />61 noted that the retainer amount is strictly for in-house services. <br />62 <br />63 - Capital Equipment Replacement — trying to move away from indebtedness and <br />64 toward operating levy funded. Ms. Lynch noted cuts agreed upon by staff before <br />65 this came forward; she noted the equipment requested; <br />66 - Mayor Rafferty asked about the cost noted of a police vehicle; he recalls the cost <br />67 at $56,000; staff explained the figure included now is an estimate and the cost of <br />68 the build -out is really not known at this point; Mayor Rafferty asked what the <br />69 Tahoe vehicle would be used for and Director Swenson noted that the Deputy <br />70 Director would drive this new vehicle and his vehicle would rotate down with one <br />71 being rotated out; the police vehicles are all used by the police staff. Mayor <br />72 Rafferty remarked that cross trained personnel have more gear and need more <br />73 room so, with some changes away from those duties, he wonders about using a <br />74 smaller police vehicle. Councilmember Lyden noted that the vehicle costs you <br />75 not just what you pay but what you will get from it when it is sold and he feels <br />76 - the Tahoe's will make up the extra expense at sale. A councilmember noted that <br />77 there was an issue with rust (with the Ford vehicles) and Mayor Rafferty <br />78 explained that there is a better washing system in place to deal with the rust <br />79 question. Councilmember Cavegn recalled that the council approved the vehicles <br />80 because they saw the Tahoe as a better vehicle than the Explorers; <br />81 - Page 4, this year there is a request of 10% in funds for the Street Rehabilitation <br />82 Program based on the Pavement Management Program; <br />83 - Surface Water Fund - if a storm water management utility is approved, there <br />84 would be a revenue impact; <br />85 - Park and Trail Improvements — requesting the budgeted amount rise to $90,000 to <br />86 increase that program. Additional funding would allow more work based on <br />87 recommendations from the Park Board. Councilmember Stoesz asked if <br />88 extension of the Hodgson trail should be considered; Public Services Director <br />a <br />
