Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday,June 16, 2014 <br /> Page 14 <br /> Councilmember Etten opined that, while each may have some potential, there <br /> were limitations with the park buildings; and he didn't see many of those facilities <br /> with sufficient parking availability. While loving the conceptual idea of using the <br /> old fire station on Fairview Avenue, Councilmember Etten noted that it was a dis- <br /> aster to access due to other commercial properties in the area, and therefore pro- <br /> hibitive to him. Councilmember Etten noted that the lower level of City Hall was <br /> already spoken for to expand the Public Works/Engineering area. Whether the <br /> decision was to build or now, Councilmember Etten expressed his understanding <br /> that the space would inform whether or not it was desirable compared to remain- <br /> ing with the current situation. From his point of view, Councilmember Etten <br /> opined that he was in favor of parking the money but using more surplus, such as <br /> another $50,000 from the License Center operating surplus reserve reallocated to <br /> the 2015 budget: and if they needed the money, it could be reallocated from other <br /> open reserves. Until a location was selected, Councilmember Etten stated that <br /> such a scenario would be his preference. <br /> Mayor Roe questioned the need to have the discussion on locations as part of this <br /> budget discussion. <br /> Having just joined the City Council last year, along with Councilmember Etten, <br /> Councilmember Laliberte opined that, while she heard some rumblings about the <br /> License Center and built-up reserves, she did not recall being part of those discus- <br /> sions during that 1.5 year timeframe, but just a listener in the process. <br /> Councilmember Willmus advised that he agreed with the comments of Mayor <br /> Roe regarding the Levy and what was happening to residential property values <br /> due to the shift being experienced from commercial to residential properties, typi- <br /> cally cyclical and potentially swinging back as commercial values caught up. <br /> However, Councilmember Willmus stated that it was something to be seriously <br /> considered in using reserves to offset expenses during this time. Councilmember <br /> Willmus opined that this was especially true if the City Council continued to go <br /> down the road of increased staff expenses; opining that it would become more <br /> prudent to look at using revenue streams to offset some of those things. <br /> Mayor Roe noted that the discussion should be open to other areas as well as the <br /> License Center. <br /> Mayor Roe noted that the amounts or rates recovered from licenses, and the num- <br /> ber of transactions, was out of the City's control, and therefore, it made no sense <br /> to budget for optimistic happenings at the Center until a better trend was identi- <br /> fied. However, from an operational standpoint, Mayor Roe noted that there were <br /> additional revenues available from License Center reserves, since it continued to <br /> operate with an annual surplus that covered other costs. Mayor Roe suggested <br /> that the proposed new positions and COLA recommendations may inform the <br /> amount retained in the fund balance and how that may become part of the mix. <br />
