<br />City Council Regular Meeting - 10/1 0/05 <br />Minutes - Page 9 <br /> <br />options for achieving the Council's proposed 5% levy increase <br />for the 2006 Budget. Mr. Beets reviewed each option and the <br />specifics of each proposal, noting the major impact would be felt <br />in the City's Police Department. <br /> <br />Mr. Beets reviewed additional information related to the COPS <br />Grant for which the Police Department had applied in 2002, and <br />recently been notified of award with condition that the officer <br />hired be charged with problem solving in the area of domestic <br />violence prevention. Mr. Beets noted that the City needed to <br />advise the Federal Government of their acceptance of the grant <br />November 13, 2005 or the grant would be awarded to another <br />community. <br /> <br />Discussion included the COPS Grant program and declining <br />grant award over three years. <br /> <br />Councilmembers Kough and Ihlan expressed their appreciation <br />to City Manager Beets for coming forward with clear <br />recommendations and a spreadsheet with four options. <br /> <br />Councilmember Kough addressed the need to use squad cars for <br />longer periods before trading them, with vehicle safety checks to <br />determine their condition. <br /> <br />Councilmember Ihlan spoke in support of Option D of the new <br />proposals, opining it looked reasonable and plausible; and <br />thanked staff for responding to her other questions in a timely <br />manner. Councilmember Ihlan urged other Councilmembers to <br />consider the possibility of Option D as a working assumption. <br /> <br />Councilmember Maschka opined that a 5% levy only delayed the <br />inevitable, and the only way to structurally balance the budget <br />was to reduce positions through layoffs or attrition. <br /> <br />Finance Director Miller noted that dependence on reserves, or <br />delaying capital improvements, would definitely impact future <br />budgets, and further restrict those budgets. <br /> <br />Mayor Klausing called for public comment at this time. <br />
