CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL WORK SESSION August 20, 2012 <br />DRAFT <br />45 makes sense to finance in the current economy and that it would not hurt the future option <br />46 of moving back to a revolving program because that could be phased back in. <br />47 <br />48 The council discussed health care rates and heard from the City Administrator that the <br />49 city will receive its rate offer in October. <br />50 <br />51 Council Member Stoesz recommended that the council consider investing in information <br />52 technology for the city, including an employee working in that area. The mayor asked <br />53 Council Member Stoesz to put together information that identifies projects /work that <br />54 could save in the future and the cost to get them in place; the council needs that kind of <br />55 concrete information to make decisions. Council Member Rafferty received an update on <br />56 the Finance Department accounting software upgrade; Mr. Rolek explained that funding <br />57 is being put aside and the project is moving toward an upgrade. <br />58 <br />59 The council discussed the gap list in its entirety and tentatively focused on filling the gap <br />60 to maintain the 2012 levy - $538,369. Mr. Rolek received direction on reductions and <br />61 will prepare updated figures. The proposed budget will be discussed next at the <br />62 September 4 work session and the council will consider adoption of the preliminary levy <br />63 at the September 10 council meeting. <br />64 <br />65 The meeting was adjourned at 9:00 p.m. <br />66 <br />67 These minutes were considered, corrected and approved at the regular Council meeting held on <br />68 September 10, 2012. <br />69 <br />70 <br />71 <br />72 <br />73 Julianne Bartell, City Clerk Jeff Reinert, Mayor <br />74 <br />2 <br />
