CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL WORK SESSION <br /> APPROVED <br /> 89 Tahoe)to the parks and trails fund, providing funding in an area where it's been <br /> 90 requested by the Park Board. Councilmember Ruhland asked that the matter be tabled <br /> 91 and the council concurred. <br /> 92 <br /> 93 Mayor Rafferty asked if the council supports not replacing auto unit 617. Director <br /> 94 Swenson asked if the discussion is that the unit would not be replaced and the City would <br /> 95 still purchase three additional vehicles; the mayor concurred. It was clarified that that <br /> 96 three vehicles would come in and three would go out of the fleet. Director Swenson <br /> 97 added that the council direction of the past has been to not move new vehicles into the <br /> 98 fire division where they receive less use. Mayor Rafferty remarked that in this case <br /> 99 keeping the car in the police division for another year would probably bring the mileage <br /> 100 up to about 40,000 and that to him is a better fit for a fire division vehicle. <br /> 101 <br /> 102 The budget discussion will continue at the next work session. <br /> 103 <br /> 104 Mayor Rafferty asked if the purchase of certain vehicles (box loader was mentioned) is <br /> 105 authorized. A fleet cat, 350 dump and water and sewer vehicle were mentioned. Ms. <br /> 106 Lynch noted the new storm fund and the vehicle that is being purchased for that position. <br /> 107 The council concurred with those purchases. <br /> 108 <br /> 109 Mayor Rafferty noted general fund surpluses that occur most years. Looking forward to <br /> 110 coming surpluses (possible 2023),he would like the council to consider future use. He'd <br /> 111 like to consider 50%to capital equipment, 25%parks and trail and 25%to gaps, etc. at <br /> 112 council discretion. Councilmember Lyden suggested that would be a good discussion at <br /> 113 a strategic planning session. Director Lynch remarked that it could be put into a formal <br /> 114 policy as some other cities do in regard to their reserve funds. Councilmember Ruhland <br /> 115 suggested he likes the freedom a yearly consideration offers to the council. <br /> 116 <br /> 117 Councilmember Stoesz asked how The Rookery will show up in the 2023 budget. Ms. <br /> 118 Lynch suggested that she expects that function would best be managed by a revenue <br /> 119 enterprise fund. <br /> 120 <br /> 121 Ms. Lynch clarified that the council tabled the discussion of the type vehicle (Tahoe or <br /> 122 Explorer) and the rotation of vehicle #317 to the fire division. They will be discussed at <br /> 123 the December 61h work session. It is understood that Alexandra House will be removed <br /> 124 from the final consideration budget. <br /> 125 The meeting was adjourned at 8:15 p.m. <br /> 126 <br /> 127 These minutes were considered, corrected and approved at the regular Council meeting held on <br /> 128 December 13, 2021. <br /> 129 <br /> 130 <br /> 131 �`-'-- <br /> .� <br /> 132 u-11aAe Bartell, City 'lerk Job Rafferty, Mayor <br /> 3 <br />
