Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday,January 27, 2014 <br /> Page 14 <br /> Councilmember Willmus opined that this was too far out on the time line for his <br /> comfort. <br /> Councilmember Etten concurred with Councilmember Willmus regarding the tim- <br /> ing and involvement in the 2015 budget process; even though he didn't see them <br /> prepared to offer any recommendations for policy changes that might affect the <br /> budget immediately, but opined that it wouldn't hurt the budget process any, and <br /> while many people may understand budgeting, a natural delay may become evi- <br /> dent,but should not be purposely delayed at the start. <br /> Councilmember Laliberte concurred, opining that while they may not make im- <br /> mediate suggestions, they would be able to roll up their sleeves and have a voice <br /> in the process, an important consideration. <br /> Mayor Roe concurred, opining that they could plug into the process as they felt <br /> appropriate, and suggested they be part of the process as much as they felt com- <br /> fortable in doing. Mayor Roe further opined that, as far as documentation was <br /> concerned, improvements may be evident through the initial involvement of the <br /> commission and be a natural occurrence. <br /> General Comments <br /> Councilmember Laliberte concurred that all changes be done as one, specific to <br /> Attachments B and E. <br /> Finance Commission <br /> Councilmember McGehee concurred that the things intended for this commission <br /> to make the budget more transparent and easier to understand, were more likely to <br /> come from the commission's involvement as they work through understanding it <br /> themselves. <br /> McGehee moved, Willmus seconded, enactment of Ordinance No. _1459_ (At- <br /> tachment D) entitled "An Ordinance Amending Selected Text of Sections 205.01 <br /> (Establishment and Membership) of Title 2, `Public Works, Environment and <br /> Transportation Commission' of the City Code;" and enactment of Ordinance No. <br /> 1460 (Attachment E) entitled, "An Ordinance Amending Title 1, Chapter 105, <br /> Section 105.1 of Indemnification." <br /> Roll Call <br /> Ayes: McGehee; Willmus; Laliberte; Etten; and Roe. <br /> Nays: None. <br /> McGehee moved, Willmus seconded referring remaining draft ordinances to the <br /> City Manager and staff for revisions as discussed tonight, including changes to <br /> make all commission documents consistent; with those drafts provided to the City <br />
