Regular City Council Meeting Monday, December 9, 2013 Page 23 Mayor Roe refocused discussion back to the original motion proposed by Coun- cilmember Etten, without further amendment, to reduce the levy in 2014 and years forward by$25,000,using License Center profits or reserves. Amendment#2 McGehee moved, Willmus seconded, reinstating$50,000 in funding to the Capi- tal Improvement Program (CIP) without designating from where those funds would be allocated. Councilmember Etten spoke in opposition to the motion, questioning the rationale in essentially funding things from reserves to fund reserves. Councilmember McGehee defended the goal of supporting the City's own CIP plan. Councilmember McGehee further noted that, if everyone wanted to do eve- rything listed, it could be accomplished by reducing reserves, and even though it was a terrible idea, it needed to be carried forward since the City had already set a ceiling and also needed to address its debt service obligations. Unless the City Council chose to forget about the Volunteer Coordinator position or Parks Super- visor, Councilmember McGehee opined that it would require ongoing expenses from the General Fund levy; and if those items were crucial to everyone to not fund them from reserves, they would remain ongoing expenses.
