This issue will be discussed at the August 24 <br /> worksession. If you have any connnents I please let me know or be prepared to <br /> bring them to this meeting. <br /> E-Z Recycling - Review of the 2 year contract is being conducted to pursue a 2 <br /> year extension. This extension can include magazines and nonhazardous aerosol <br /> cans at a cost of $100 per month. The contractor also has suggested a <br /> possible purchase of =bside bins, cost would be shared between the City, <br /> hauler and any other source. Further review is being conducted to increase <br />. recycling, however, if the fees continue to be based on tonnage, this could <br /> increase the costs. More infonnation upcoming. If you would like to see the <br /> magazine and aerosol can option pursued, please call Brian or let me know. <br /> As the city staff will now be preparing all Planning Commission reports, a <br /> change in packet procedure is being undertaken.

In the future, as a courtesy to <br /> the Council, all Plaming recommendations and reports will be provided with <br /> each worksession packet. This will allow Council to consider the issues prior <br /> to Il'aking their considerations and recommendations at the last Council meeting <br /> of the month. <br /> ACCOUNTING <br /> Budget: <br /> l. A budget worksession is requested for August 31 at 4: 30 pm to <br /> =rdinate previous budget discussions with any new items. <br /> (Maximum levy 1994 IlUlSt be set by September 15). <br /> 2. A considerable decrease in valuation is affecting the 1994 budget <br /> in a loss of revenue. An in=ease in HACA to the City helps to <br /> offset this, however minimal. Attached is a memo from Terry Post <br /> providing further infonnation with several options outlined on <br /> page 3. We have to date limited the levy increase to 2.9%, and <br /> have already reduced some expenditures. However, this valuation <br />. reduction/loss of tax revenue needs to be addressed by feedback <br /> from the Council. <br /> -- <br />
