Regular City Council Meeting Monday, September 18, 2017 Page 14 that it then meant that the city was overlevying and if the city actually levied to meet its expenses, it wasn't on target either. Either way, Councilmember McGe- hee opined it was better to remain sustainable and transparent. Councilmember Willmus stated his appreciation for the answer "it depends" and as the city currently does and if the year-end figures prove that the city is in a bet- ter position that originally thought, the Cash Carry Fund should be able to address that picture. Mayor Roe noted that two years ago, staff added a plus/minus report and line item as requested by the City Council as a taxpayer reduction use of reserves as part of that process, and identified what was used in the prior year and taken from the new levy as an assumption to help determine projections for the next year, wheth- er operating of CIP funds given the number of needs an dhow to best apply those reserve funds. In conclusion, Chair Schroeder sought assurances that the commission continued to add value to the City Council and asked for any additional areas to them to re- view. As one, the City Council agreed to the absolute value of the commission to their work. Mayor Roe noted that there was another TIF District being decertified in 2018 or 2019, and asked for recommendation from the commission for use of those ap- proximate $800,000 one-time funds. Specific to the annual budget process timing, Mayor Roe suggested that the com- mission consider their CIP recommendations and any other timely recommenda- tions for bringing them to the City Council to assist in their decision-making and perhaps plan their commission agendas in accordance with the annual budget cal- endar components to ensure their feedback and recommendations are received in sufficient time to inform the schedule. Recess Mayor Roe recessed the meeting at approximately 8:07 p.m., and reconvened at approximately 8:15 p.m. Councilmember Etten arrived during the recess for the remainder of the meeting. C.
