Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday,April 22, 2013 <br /> Page 5 <br /> Councilmember Etten noted that while it may be a normal City Council discus- <br /> sion point to review and/or revise the IR 2025 strategies, the IR2025 document <br /> was a living document put together by the community at large, and suggested any <br /> revisions by the Council should only occur after another community discussion. <br /> Councilmember McGehee concurred, noting that it was typical to have that com- <br /> munity discussion every ten (10) years; however, she opined that the document <br /> had been prepared before the "new normal;" and that the short- and long-term <br /> goals had been put together by staff and previous City Councils as a working doc- <br /> ument, and was not created by the community. Since the original document was <br /> available to the City Council, Councilmember McGehee suggested a review by <br /> new Council to determine its relevancy. <br /> McGehee moved, Laliberte seconded, receipt of the quarterly IR 2025 staff up- <br /> date. <br /> Roll Call <br /> Ayes: Laliberte; McGehee; Etten; and Willmus; <br /> Nays: None. <br /> d. Receive Shared Services Report <br /> McGehee moved, Laliberte seconded, receipt of the quarterly shared services staff <br /> update. <br /> Roll Call <br /> Ayes: Laliberte; McGehee; Etten; and Willmus; <br /> Nays: None. <br /> Receive 2013 First Quarter Financial Report(g) <br /> At the request of Acting Mayor Willmus, Acting City Manager Chris Miller brief- <br /> ly summarized this quarterly report; advising that most items were trending, with <br /> the exception of ice and snow removal costs this season. <br /> Councilmember McGehee pointed out, for the benefit of the listening audience, <br /> the Information Technology Fund and the Water Fund, both listed in poor finan- <br /> cial condition, and asked that the public be aware of that, and provide their input, <br /> especially to those two items, as the budget process continued. <br /> Mr. Miller noted that both of those funds were Capital Improvement Program <br /> (CIP)-related issues, thus his comments; noting that the City Council and it's CIP <br /> Subcommittee had been making adjustments to those funds over the last few years <br /> to address those issues. <br /> Councilmember Laliberte opined that it would be nice to finish the budget priority <br /> process, so the City Council could get to the point of adding additional funding <br /> and addressing debt service and other items coming into the budget outside of <br /> programs.
