Adopt a Final 2019 Tax Levy and Budget Finance Director Chris Miller summarized the request as detailed in the RCA of this date; and noted a bench handout incorporated into the RCA providing an ex- tract of City Council meeting minutes of December 3, 2018. Mayor Roe noted the proposed budget and tax levy for 2019 for the residents. Councilmember Willmus stated $515,000 was roughly set aside for license center capital and he wondered how that was being accounted for at this point. Mr. Miller stated originally back in June and July there was discussion with the City Council regarding setting aside roughly half a million dollars for potential renovations at the new space the City acquired along with the existing space and the City Council authorized staff to move forward with approximately $55,000 which is what has been used so far. With regard to the 2019 budget for other po- tential renovations, staff has chosen at this point to not include them in the budget figures being adopted at the meeting tonight. The idea was to bring them back to the Council for further discussion sometime in 2019. He noted the amount is in- cluded in the original CIP but has been left out of the budget. Councilmember Willmus asked if there was still approximately $485,000 set aside for capital. Mr. Miller stated the City did but it is not encumbered in the budget yet and is available for the license center or whatever other purpose the City Council see fit to use it for.
