ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — SEPTEMBER 9, 2024 15 <br />Interim City Administrator Jagoe said the current permit system is functioning. The customer <br />support for that program is nonexistent. The concern is, if something happens to the system, there <br />is no support department to help work through that. <br />Mayor Grant asked if the software we have is an old version that is no longer supported. <br />Interim City Administrator Jagoe this would be change to an entirely new vendor because the <br />program we use doesn't have an option to upgrade. We must switch. She noted the program we <br />have functions. <br />Councilmember Holden said she thinks permitting/licensing is one of the basic services provided <br />to residents. She would not want to give that up. <br />Councilmember Monson asked what the impact would be if the loader for Public Works was <br />pushed. <br />Finance Director Yang said the levy could be reduced by $110,000 for 2025 but it would have to <br />be revisited in future years. <br />Councilmember Holden thought Staff was going to look at purchasing something else. <br />Public Works Director and City Engineer Swearingen hasn't had time to do that research yet. <br />Councilmember Monson calculated the items discussed would be a 4% reduction. She wondered <br />if that could be applied across the scenarios. Finance Director Yang confirmed. <br />Councilmember Holden asked if the street maintenance amount could be lowered to $25,000. <br />Public Works Director and City Engineer Swearingen thought that is possible and he can look <br />at a scenario where that won't need an increase at all, this year. <br />Councilmember Monson would prefer to use funds to help support the personnel costs of the <br />market adjustment. She wants that to stay under $155,000. She doesn't like the initial calculation <br />of 20% levy increase. She understands it can be lowered after the preliminary levy approval, but <br />she would like to lower the preliminary number now, if possible. <br />Councilmember Holden asked what mandates are unfunded. She reminded there are other <br />discussions that have not happened. <br />Discussion ensued regarding what impact it would have if certain items were delayed or removed. <br />Finance Director Yang summarized that she heard direction to update to reduce the Equipment <br />and Replacement Fund by $110,000 and $30,000 for the street maintenance program. <br />Public Works Director and City Engineer Swearingen said he is nearly certain he can reduce <br />the entire street maintenance program amount to $0. He will just need to make some calculations <br />based on a bigger project next year. He received the street maintenance condition results. The City <br />
