To Approve Resolution 5773, a Resolution Accepting a <br />Donation from the Lions Club. <br /> <br /> Ayes – 4 Nays – 0 Motion carried. <br /> <br />9. REPORTS <br /> <br />Golf Course Manager Longville addressed Council and handed out a revised report concerning <br />an oversight on the budget numbers from the numbers provided at the work session. He <br />explained that the budget savings was changed from $303,000 to $172,81. He then apologized <br />for the oversight and explained some of the figures were calculated twice. <br /> <br />City Administrator Miller commented that Staff has been discussing the fact that the golf course <br />budget needs to be revised and simplified and this is an excellent example of how true that is. <br />She then commented that this is still a $172,000 savings which is significant and thanked Mr. <br />Longville for catching it. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty commented he did not understand the haste to approve this budget at the <br />special meeting. He further commented that he needs time to review the figures before <br />approving them. He also commented that a brief review of the figures did not add up to the <br />$303,000 for him but said he did not have sufficient time to review them. <br /> <br />Golf Course Manager Longville indicated he had said at the meeting that the figures did not seem <br />quite right and suggested reviewing the tape for that comment. He then said that a lesson was <br />learned here that the budget needs to be restructured to make things easier going forward. He <br />further said that, given the chance, Council will see a substantial savings at the golf course. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty pointed out that there was no tape of the meeting and no recording <br />secretary was present. <br /> <br />Golf Course Manager Longville indicated that in the future he would attempt to have information <br />before Council to allow sufficient time for review. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty commented that, as a Council Member, he has a responsibility to the <br />residents to make sure there are no errors before approving things. <br /> <br />Council Member Quick said he would accept the 17% savings. <br /> <br />Council Member Quick asked what action was taken on this matter. <br /> <br />City Administrator Miller indicated Council took action on the reorganization of the golf course. <br />
