Regular City Council Meeting Monday, September 10, 2018 Page 8 It seemed to her to be too small, in a poor location, and unsafe. She thought the Planning Commission and Community Development Department were also trying to address some of those issues. Councilmember McGehee indicated she was going to vote to pass the consent agenda, but she did not like drive-throughs in parking lots as being considered in Agenda Item 9.h. Councilmember Laliberte asked whether the purchase of road salt is less than ex- pected as the expenditure is only one-third of what was budgeted or if this is only one order and other purchases of salt is expected in the future. Public Works Director Marc Culver stated the budget the City Council is seeing is the remaining budget in the City's operating supplies and salt is a component of that. In 2019, staff is going to do a better job of breaking out the individual items within the operating supplies budget. He indicated the City still has 300 or 400 tons of salt in the storage facility. But, the City may come back in 2019 to pur- chase additional road salt if it is a bad winter. Mr. Culver explained that during the 2013-2014 winter season, the City almost ran out of road salt. So, for the next couple of years, the Public Works Depart- ment made a conscious effort to build up the storage of road salt so the City would always have some to carry over into the next year. Roll Call Ayes: Willmus, Laliberte, Etten, McGehee and Roe. Nays: None. 4. Public Comment—continued Councilmember Willmus indicated some people came into the meeting after it was called to order and he did not know if the residents had something to say because the Council was going through the agenda fairly quickly. Mayor Roe stated that is a good point, noting there was public comment at the beginning of the meeting and no one came forward. He asked if anyone was at the meeting for non- agenda items. Public Comment Ms. Jessica Kearns, 1647 County Road B, Unit 4, stated she was at the meeting due to an issue with her landlord and retaliation and discrimination. She stated she has been work- ing mostly with Councilmember McGehee on this issue. She wanted to put this on record at the Council meeting and ask how the City can, if at all, support her in this issue be- cause this is an ongoing issue and has high stakes for her as a resident of the City.
