Regular City Council Meeting Monday, October 19, 2015 Page 3 were in tonight's audience to respond to questions or provide additional infor- mation at the City Council's discretion. Mr. Miller sought feedback on any lin- gering questions or umnet infonnation needs they desired from staff before final- izing budget infonnation for presentation at the Noveinber 30, 2015 public hear- ing. At the request of Mayor Roe, Mr. Miller expounded on each of the six items rec- ommended by staff: 3 new iteins and 3 transfers as noted. Cit�Campus Geothermal S, s� In staff s recommendation to defer this item from 2016 to 2017, Mr. Miller stated that this item was not as time-sensitive as other items; and would involve the po- tential hiring of a consultant. City Manager Patrick Trudgeon concurred, advising that the consultant would be taslced with reviewing existing geothermal systems already in place to determine if there were any additional energy savings to be had as well as determining if the systein was operating as originally intended. At the request of Councilmeinber McGehee, City Manager Tnidgeon advised that solar energy could be part of that analysis to determine if it could be inter-linlced; with solar currently under consideration for the roof of the slcating center; and would be dependent on timing and overall operations that the consultant's exper- tise could address in more detail. Dale Street Athletic Fields In staff's recominendation to defer this item from 2016 to 2018, Mr. Miller re- ported that it was based on its current condition. Arena Zamboni Replacement Since the Zamboni was replaced in 2015, Mr. Miller advised that this was inad- vertently in the 2016 schedule and should be inoved to 2025. Transfers Mr. Miller clarified that the three recommended transfers represented a one-time shift given current trending, and with the goal of boosting funding for facilities experiencing more radical funding challenges. At the request of Mayor Roe, Finance Director Miler clarified the graphs — current and revised — and advised that given a number of moving pieces, the graphs showing revised funding level projections represented more than just those six staff recommendations, but also needed to include City Council conversations re- garding repurposing funds for debt service and levies coming offline as opportu- nities arise.
