Regular City Council Meeting Monday, April 9, 2018 Page 2 City Manager Trudgeon provided a brief description of the 2017 audit adjustment needed to the financial statements, which was related to the Information Technol- ogy fund. Councilmember Willmus noted the narrative indicates $132,000, but Attachment A references $347,000. He asked about the difference between the two numbers.

A lot of work was done in try- ing to identify what would work for the bus route and what people needed, but it was very difficult to get any feedback at all. She pointed out an upcoming forum where representatives from Metro Mobility, Shuttlebug as well as NewTrax and Mobility for All will be available for questions and will be showing some of the actual buses to the public. Mr. Olson recalled his presentation a few months ago to the Council regarding the possibility of a circulator bus.
