Regular City Council Meeting Monday, May 16, 2016 Page 22 As part of that due diligence, Councilmember McGehee suggested looking into the LOGIS system as a potential model, used in the SE metropolitan area with overarching groups of municipalities belonging and a software group coordinating different packages including state reporting requirements built into. Mayor Roe noted a pretty significant discussion in last year's budget discussion of the park area and facility CIP needs; with staff tasked to bring a plan forward. Mayor Roe reminded staff to make sure that was on the radar screen early on in the process as directed by the City Council for a conjoined discussion versus a disjointed one on timing for that issue. Mayor stated his interest in seeing how that goes forward and tying it into the policy related to park dedication fees and use of the remaining funds from the Park Renewal Program. Mayor Roe noted the need to incorporate that with other areas in the CIP and identifying other fund- ing sources for those CIP needs as part of that broader discussion. Councilmember McGehee opined that the city had done a fairly good job looking at contract services; but suggested continued diligence in more guidelines or ways to plug in shared service opportunities. Councilmember Etten expressed his appreciation for this collaborative process. While he may miss the detailed information provide from specific departments, Councilmember Etten stated his preference for this unified staff approach evolv- ing from past territorial requests or "silo" thinking. Councilmember Etten opined this was a great move for the city and thanked City Manager Trudgeon for im- plementing the process. Councilmember McGehee also thanked City Manager Trudgeon for getting this process on board and making it happen; noting elimination of the silos was a top priority of the City Council. Councilmember consensus was to get the elderly demographic back in the pro- cess. City Manager Trudgeon reviewed various budget impacts for 2017 as noted in the presentation; 2017 budget cost savings; potentia120171evy cost savings and other components of the budget process. City Manager Trudgeon asked if there was anything missing before the July 18, 2016 presentation of the City Manager-recommended 2017 budget. Mayor Roe noted the missing details mentioned by Councilmember Etten, asking that staff preliminarily plug those in between now and the next iteration, recogniz- ing they will not represent final numbers, but will serve to help inform the pro- cess.
