It was only budgeted for <br />$160,000. Where does the additional $53,000 come from? Mayor Pearson noted that the Council agreed to <br />spend more on roads. City Administrator Zuleger stated that due to the harsh winter conditions and further <br />re-inspection of the road conditions, additional funds are needed. Council consensus is that if there is an item <br />that is over what was budgeted, it should be noted so that Council is aware. <br />City Administrator Zuleger suggested that the item go back to the Finance Committee and be brought back <br />to Council on 4/15/14. Ms. Smith thanked the Finance Director and finance committee for catching these <br />items. Mr. Zuleger noted that the staff policy is that if department is over annual budget, the item must be <br />brought to the Finance Committee. <br />MOTION: Council Member Nelson moved TO POSTPONE ITEM UNTIL APRIL 15 SO THE FINANCE COMMITTEE CAN REVIEW. Council Member Smith seconded the motion. MOTION PASSED <br />5-0. <br />ITEM 4: FAMILY MEANS CUP <br />City Administrator Zuleger and Community Development Director Klatt explained the CUP application. <br />Family Means has outgrown its current space. The proposal would allow an additional 4,000 sq. ft. addition to <br />its current space. Parking will continue to be adequate. Planning Commission unanimously recommended <br />approval. <br />MOTION: Council Member Bloyer moved TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 2014-21, APPROVING THE <br />CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AMENDMENT REQUEST BY FAMILY MEANS TO ALLOW FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A COMMUNITY CENTER IN THE CIMARRON <br />MANUFACTURED HOME PARK. Council Member Smith seconded the motion. <br />The Council was very supportive of Family Means and its work in the community. <br />MOTION PASSED 5-0. <br />REGULAR AGENDA <br />ITEM 6: HORNING LOT SIZE VARIANCE; RES. NO. 2014-22 <br />Council Member Bloyer recused himself from discussing this item. Council Member Bloyer left the room <br />at 7:40PM. Council Member Bloyer returned at 7:47PM. <br />Community Development Director Klatt provided an overview of the variance application. Reported <br />concerns regarding drainage were noted. Staff recommends that easements for the drainage and ponding <br />areas be reserved for the City. It was pointed out that in 1985 a previous variance was granted but has since <br />expired. Staff believes that the application meets the City’s variance criteria. The Planning Commission <br />recommends approval with 7 conditions as identified in the resolution.
