Regular City Council Meeting Monday,July 17,2023 Page 9 Community Development Director Janice Gundlach briefly highlighted this item as detailed in the Request for Council Action and related attachments dated July 17, 2023. Councilmember Etten appreciated staff bringing this back and still thought this was a good program. He thought that bringing the qualifying business revenue level down to five hundred thousand dollars makes sense. When looking at the application, he thought it was great and no real concern for him. Councilmember Strahan wondered if staff could delineate the five employees and be clearer on four or five FTEs, noting it states five employees and to her this is unclear on how staff numbers those. She would be fine with going to five hundred thousand from one million dollars or maybe seven hundred fifty thousand dollars. Ms. Gundlach reviewed the policy in the packet and indicated there is a specification of five FTEs. She was also hesitant to offer assistance if it is not needed. City Engineer Dave Englund reviewed the Sewer Access Charges (SAC) charge determinations that come through his department. Councilmember Schroeder explained she would be comfortable leaving the revenue at a million dollars because now days that is not a hard number to get to, especially if doing an improvement. Also, this is a very healthy fund and gives staff some leeway on that. Mayor Roe indicated this will come back to the Council. 8. Council Direction on Councilmember Initiated Agenda Items 9.
