MEMO January 23, 1998 To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Chuck Whiting, City Administrator Re: January 26, 1998 City Council Meeting Once again, many things are going on and I will try to recap. Here is what is on the agenda for Monday evening: Item 5C - Approval to Transfer Festival Funds: This consent agenda item is in keeping with attempts to separate Festival Committee activities and processes from the City. In the past, the City has held the group's funds and managed the oversightofunds it used to have transferred to ittransfers. This past year, the s new has incorporated onto itself and therefore should have t incorporated identity. Item 7A - Second Reading and Public Hearing on Long Term Financial Plan: As has been mentioned before,while the City adopts its operating budgets by resolution, the Charter requires the long term plan to be adopted by ordinance. This is the second reading for finalizing the plan. Additionally,the Council may note the roll call order in place for each final ordinance vote. Voting order will be rotated by a formula I have devised with the first vote based on seniority and the Mayor voting last. Item 7B -Linder's Greenhouses CUP: This is an annual routine matter covered by Community Development. Item 7C - Second Reading and Public Hearing on Cable Franchise Ordinance Amendment: The Council is familiar with this item. It is the second extension of the existing cable franchise ordinance enabling a new agreement to be negotiated and completed. Item 7D-Community Center Bidding(Resolution5207) and Supplement Services Agreement for Wetlands Delineation (Resolution 5209): We have been pointing to this meeting for final approval of the bidding specifications for the work at the community center. I have enclosed communications with WAI since the December 15, 1997 City Council meeting regarding issues that have come up that need to be reviewed this Monday evening. First, the design and bidding information is available at City Hall for Council members' review. I have placed the information in the Mayor's box rather than try to copy it individually for each of you not knowing your level of interest in those details. Second, I have reviewed the roofing problem with Bob Long and have had discussions with WAI regarding responsibility for awareness of the leaking problem. Based on the nature of the problem and the documentation reviewed, timing of reviews and naturee of aksthe ork performed since those reviews,urces t is andcextentpin of thethis problem have to be evy one aluated. My concern even today (Fnday) and the so right now is not having significant damage done to the building and finding a solution in the short
