Business Items (Action Items) b. Consider Amending the City's Operating Fund Cash Reserve Policy At the request of Mayor Roe, Finance Director Chris Miller briefly reviewed the requested action for consideration of amending the City's Operating Fund Cash Reserve Policy as recently recommended by the Finance Commission. While appreciating the work of the Finance Commission, Councilmember Willmus expressed his interest in revising recommended language from targeted goal "ranges" to "averages." Councilmember Wilimus opined that this would benefit funds if on the low end and force the City Council closer to the average and base; and if a fund was on the high end, it allowed them discretion to reallo- cate funds to a Property Tax Relief Fund or other funds found low at any given time. Councilmember Etten recognized Councilmember Wilimus' point regarding aver- ages; however,he opined that the target range language was there for a purpose to allow fluctuations, and questioned if by forcing a goal to average it may not ac- complish the goal at all and force the City Council to continually review those funds. Councilmember Willmus suggested his intent was that the review be part of the budget and levy process, and opined that it should be reviewed annually; howev- er, he didn't find that it changed the needed mandate.
