Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday,July 16, 2018 <br /> Page 9 <br /> City Manager Trudgeon responded an update will be provided on the circulator <br /> bus in August. <br /> Councilmember Willmus asked about some numbers in the table on page 2 of the <br /> RCA. At the License Center, there is a reserve reduction of$515,836. <br /> Finance Director Miller responded that it is not a firm number. It is something <br /> that was programmed into the CIP a while ago. Staff needs to come back to the <br /> Council again to talk about the number. He does not sense that is the way any- <br /> body on the Council wants to go. <br /> Councilmember Willmus stated those dollars may be directly reallocated to wean- <br /> ing the City off reserves. He would like to explore that, as that will go a long way <br /> to correct the issue for 2019 in that area. <br /> Councilmember Etten commented that, in that case, the City may be using re- <br /> serves to wean itself off reserves. It may be a needed as a bridge to wean off re- <br /> serves, but it is a short-term fix. Ongoing operating costs should be funded in an <br /> ongoing way. Extra reserves are a great spot for the CIP. <br /> Councilmember McGehee concurred with those comments. She noted it is fine to <br /> repurpose it for other expenditures in the CIP, but not to use it as a one-year fix to <br /> buy down the reserve. As far as the perception of crime, a lot of it is related to <br /> shoplifting. Perhaps a request could be made for support from places with such <br /> high volumes of service. Wal-Mart and other retail places do put a strain on re- <br /> sources due to their high volume of calls. <br /> Mayor Roe noted there is a change to the model of the License Center due to the <br /> ownership of the building. He asked whether that will be lumped into the License <br /> Center itself in the budget documentation or whether the building will be separat- <br /> ed from the License Center functions. <br /> Finance Director Miller responded staff is segregating the operations of the site it- <br /> self from the operations of the License Center, to create more accountability and <br /> more transparency. <br /> City Manager Trudgeon asked if there are any questions on the CIP. He encour- <br /> aged Councilmembers to reach out to staff with any particular questions. <br /> 8. Approve Minutes <br /> 9. Approve Consent Agenda <br /> 10.
