Regular City Council Meeting Monday, October 19, 2015 Page 16 the City's infrastructure under control for replaceinent and funding in place or identified to accomplish that, putting the city in a better overall position. Mayor Roe questioned if the current asset management software was proving the exact tool for this process or needed enhancement as well; which he anticipated as a topic of discussion given his lack of confidence that it was the single tool need- ed moving forward. City Manager Trudgeon advised that this software provided real time information for what staff was working on and the ability to track infonnation, which would improve as that was built on over time since all of that historical information was yet to be input. Councilmember Willmus, with agreement by City Manager Trudgeon, suggested the need for a inore enhanced CIP tied to metrics for staff to develop and bring back to policy makers as a necessary piece of the plan. Mayor Roe suggested flip flopping those two strategic initiatives as identified in Attachment A. City Manager Trudgeon responded that, as they feed into the infrastnicture plan and metrics, that would worlc. Since staff was being aslced to bring things back to the City Council, Coun- cilmeinber Laliberte asked staff what milestones they anticipated in 2016, includ- ing recorrunended asset categories by a certain time; since this had initially started as a one-year plan, then moved to a 3-4 year plan, and now moving back toward a one-year plan. City Manager Trudgeon advised that work had been initiated earlier this year to map things out, and staff could further refine that with the goal of keeping it as aggressive as possible and not allowing it to drag out, shooting for the 2017 budg- et, which would still be a major undertaking and involve a lot of people for that inpttt. Mayor Roe suggested the timeline be through the end of 2016, and while recog- nizing everything may not be accomplished by then, it would provide a realistic timeframe of where the City Council wanted to be. Councilmeinber Laliberte expressed appreciation for the work by staff on the timeline, opining it would be helpful for the City Council to have a timeline con- tinuum of public involvement: where staff was involved, where the advisory commissions would plug in, and thereby identifying those milestones within that year to help everyone stay accountable and on track.
