Regular City Council Meeting Monday,May 11,2015 Page 23 forts recently implemented, Mr. Trudgeon advised that staff was now in a better position with time and resources to get everyone on board eventually. At the request of Councilmember McGehee, City Manager Trudgeon responded that it was the goal to have everyone on board and organized by the end of 2016. Mayor Roe clarified that it was a goal, while recognizing work efforts would and could shift as well. In his previous discussions with Finance Director Miller, Mayor Roe noted one challenge may be to link the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) document to the infrastructure management and financial tracking documents, as well as getting the park program into that CIP system allowing them to show on the same report. While understanding it was just a spreadsheet that needed to be managed through some expertise, Mayor Roe expressed his desire to be able to track infrastructure with CIP dollars to make sure the money set aside in Enterprise Fund areas was the right amount and being spent in a timelyfashion, or if it needed reallocated elsewhere. If tracked well and dollars clearly identified, Mayor Roe opined that the City Council may be able to look at rates and only address inflationary pieces for a few years without continuing to adjust those rates. However, until known for sure, Mayor Roe noted the difficulty in tracking that information. Conclusion City Manager Trudgeon, in conclusion noted that this was the point where staff exited the process and this draft became a City Council working document. Mr. Trudgeon stated the reason for tonight's presentation was to populate ideas on how to achieve priorities and KOI, and various targets. While appreciating feed- back so far, Mr. Trudgeon suggested the need for the City Council to determine its comfort level and how to express their various components. Mr. Trudgeon clarified that staff was reliant on the City Council saying what they wanted to do and how to do so; and suggested if something didn't make sense or a change was needed to a previously-stated KOI, they provide that additional feedback. Mr. Trudgeon further clarified that the strategic initiatives on the summary plan were only intended as suggestions from staff to begin discussions, and in the meantime, he sought additional feedback from the City Council before bringing the docu- ment back on June 8, 2015. Councilmember Willmus noted several areas that would benefit from feedback from the CEC or HRC; and questioned how City Manager Trudgeon saw that fit- ting into the timeline for City Council action proposed for June 8, 2015. City Manager Trudgeon stated that was entirely up to the City Council, whether they wanted additional time for vetting or discussion, even though staff was eager to begin work on some of the initiatives if directed to do so. If the plan changes,
