Attachment B though it had been accepted. He recommended marking item 2017-3 as accepted and adding the new direction from the City Council to look at it again as a new item. Commissioner Murray asked if 2017-6 was closed. Chair Schroeder stated this item was closed at the City Council meeting on December 11. Commissioner Hodder stated the Commission roles could also be closed as the City Council approved this. Commissioner Zeller stated he was not sure if the recommendation on the levy would be considered accepted or rejected but would mark it was rejected based on the meeting. Commissioner Bachhuber stated he would not consider this recommendation as rejected because the City did recognize the need to address the CIP and the use of reserves and chose to be more proactive than the Commission had recommended. Establish 2018 Meeting Calendar Chair Schroeder stated the August meeting would be changed to August 16. Commissioner McRoberts stated that he would not be able to make the August 16 meeting. Chair Schroeder suggested adding the date as August 16 as a tentative date and review it at the next meeting when Commissioner Harold is present. Continue Discussion on Establishing A Cash Reserve Fund Finance Director Miller reviewed the cash carry forward fund that had been prepared by staff for the City Council. Staff has recommended that this be limited to the general fund at this time. He stated that several of the funds the Commission had discussed have funds set aside for specific uses and the reasons for these warrants additional conversation before they are lumped into the cash carry forward fund. He reviewed the summary results for various funds as requested by the Commission at the last meeting. Commissioner McRoberts stated looking at the IT Fund they are consistently spending under budget. This could be something that is considered when looking at the levy and the budgets could be adjusted to reflect the actual spend. Commissioner Murray stated some items on a budget are predictable but other things are not. There is a tendency to not use the average spend in the budget because this could create short falls. On an average this would create a surplus.
