Regular City Council Meeting <br />Monday, May 16, 2016 <br />Page 25 <br />Councilmember Willmus admitted that, when this post card was initially put to- <br />gether, he questioned the simplicity of it and whether it provided useful infor- <br />mation, opining that he didn't find it useful at all. Councilmember Willmus noted <br />that a number of the comments received last year didn't even pertain to the budg- <br />et, even though he gleaned more useful information from those comments. Coun- <br />cilmember Willmus opined that what he found missing was the context of each <br />category and how it impacted other areas of service or how each offset the other, <br />which was not spelled out. If the intent was to repeat this effort, Councilmember <br />Willmus asked that the expense and revenue sides both needed to be provided. <br />City Manager Trudgeon sought more specifics for direction to staff, noting a lot <br />of information and context could be addressed in an article; with only a response <br />card made available without any categories or other versions as discussed. Mr. <br />Trudgeon noted that the article provided more freedom to explain, and suggested <br />leaving the post card without accompanying data. <br />Mayor Roe and Councilmember Laliberte supported City Manager Trudgeon's <br />recommendation. <br />Councilmember Laliberte noted that, over the last 1.5 years, she continued to ad- <br />vocate for an easy to understand way for the public to understand the budget, <br />whether through a pie chart or list; and at same time for last 1.5 years, saying <br />give to people in easy to understand way and she continued to advocate for that <br />simple snapshot. While it was difficult to provide everything, Councilmember <br />Laliberte spoke in support of a quick, easy visual for public information. <br />Mayor Roe concurred. <br />Councilmember McGehee concurred also; nothing that she found the cards useful <br />even if not addressing the budget specifically, but allowing for 250 residents to <br />provide additional input that were not usually heard from or attending the annual <br />public hearing on the budget. <br />Councilmember Etten agreed with the format and additional information provide <br />in the article; and expressed his appreciation as well for the additional feedback <br />whether related to the budget or not. Councilmember Etten agreed with Coun- <br />cilmember Willmus on the simplicity of the post card that may have resulted in <br />incorrect feedback from the community due to its lack of detail that may serve to <br />mislead some of the City Council's decision-making. <br />Mayor Roe asked if the framework being requested was to show budget expendi- <br />tures by function not just the impact to homeowners; with Councilmembers Etten <br />and Willmus in agreement and Councilmember McGehee disagreeing. As such, <br />staff was so directed. <br />
