Truth in Taxation pgs 1-8 Regular City Council Meeting pgs 9-15 Monday, December O1, 2008 Page 13 2008, opining that it represented valuable information and augments other infor- mation included in the Plan. Mr. Miller advised that staff could provide the information as an Appendix to the CIP for distribution and to make available online. Councilmember Roe expressed his preference for those areas identified by staff for capital expenditures similar to the terminology used for the City's Pavement Management Plan (PMP) to emphasize "management" of programs to retain and/or maintain their quality over the years (i.e., pathway maintenance on page 55, changed to pathway management). Acting Mayor Ihlan concurred with Councilmember Willmus' comments regard- ing vehicle replacement schedules, and consideration for downsizing fleets or cost efficiencies in driving in the future, particularly noting that many of the CIP items have no funding mechanisms identified. Discussion included procedure for the City Council's review of the CIP as part of their annual budgetary process; statutory requirements and/or best practices for the City maintaining, at a minimum, a five year CIP, and this broader picture pro- viding along-range look over a ten year period. Mr. Miller advised that staff had provided for a committee made up of staff repre- sentative of all departments to review their vehicle fleet and other large energy consumption items and their respective costs, with a report being prepared for the City Council for their December 15, 2008 meeting to identify potential areas for cost cutting.
