Regular City Council Meeting Monday, June 13, 2016 Mayor Roe asked that the commission do so as well to identify any expenditures that could be reasonably delayed or changes made to the plan; or if additional funding sources could be identified beyond the previously-discussed park dedica- tion fee. Mayor Roe noted recent accountings indicating surplus Park Renewal Program bond funds that may be applicable to park CIP uses and help to some- what alleviate the deficit situation. Mayor Roe stated that he wanted input from the commission and their recommendations about how to address this deficit, not- ing he didn’t want to see negative lines in the CIP going forward, but to see it ad- equately and realistically funded. Councilmember Willmus noted past commission discussions about a local option sales tax, especially for the city’s major regional component (skating center). egarding the skating center, Mayor Roe noted that staff-level discussions were R ongoing abouthow to approach and receive state bonding funds at the next oppor- tunity, in the 2018 legislative session. Chair Newby noted these were some difficult and complex issues, but assured the City Council that the commission was holding those discussions now. Mayor Roe thanked commissioners for their attendance and update.
