City Council Regular Meeting— 04/24/06 <br />DRAFT Minutes - Page 42 <br />charges, from 2007 through 2012, with estimated appropriating <br />$3.7 million annually in the budget, representing 11% of total <br />City spending. <br />Councilmember Maschka whole-heartedly endorsed staffs <br />recommendation. <br />Mayor Klausing endorsed the suggestion, cautioning that current <br />and future City Council's needed to maintain the discipline to <br />maintain such a transparent replacement schedule, rather than <br />attempting to falsely reduce or keep level taxes from year�to- <br />year. <br />Mr. Miller suggested additional education and awareness by staff <br />and Councilmembers to the public. Mr. Miller noted that <br />projected annual cost to a typical household was estimated at <br />�Clyear for the first year, on top of any other levy increases, and <br />ending at approximately $3�ly�a� at the end of the five year levy <br />(2012). Mr. Miller noted that in exchange to that commitment, <br />the park infrastructure fund, vehicle replacement program, and <br />utility infrastructure funds would be available when needed, thus <br />phasing impacts, rather than creating spikes in annual levies. <br />Discussion included fiscal responsibility; eliminating spikes and <br />volatility of the annual tax levies; shared responsibility of the <br />operation and maintenance of the gymnastics center and future <br />replacement benefits; <br />Mr. Miller, at the request of Councilmembers, was directed to <br />determine the ownership and title for the gymnastics center. <br />Staff was further directed to provide more detail in the 2007 <br />budget to implement funding requirements of the proposed plan. <br />Mayor Klausing noted the need to factor in inflation; any new <br />initiatives; setting up long-term funding; and the need to balance <br />those three things. <br />16.
