Unfinished Business - Whiting reported on the top two candidates for the Community Development Director position and that he will advise the Council on a selection next Monday night. The top two candidates are Rick Jopke from Roseville and Coralee Fox from Jordan. Both appear to bring different strengths, and more background needs to be done. He also reviewed the Council's budget discussion. He noted that the problems in balancing the 1998 budget are threefold, first, the exhaustion of the Silver Lake Woods road fund in 1996 basically transferred the City's street maintenance costs to the general fund, two, the consideration of the elimination the franchise fee without replacement revenues squeezes the City hard, and three, levy limitations allow the City to recoup about a third of the franchise fee. Despite the reduction of about 2 V2 positions, this still places a squeeze on the City's operations. VI. Adjournment - There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 12:15 p.m. Next meeting is August 26. • Respectfully submitted, Chuck Whiting, Acting Secretary
