Regular City Council Meeting Monday, November 16, 2009 Page 18 and suggested that alternatives be provided to allow something concrete for deci- sion-making; and spoke in support of carefully taping reserves to avoid putting the even a smaller levy increase on taxpayers. Mayor Klausing advised that he was not aware of what individual Councilmem- bers would suggest; however, advised that he would review staff and public input to further refine the budget from his perspective, while not anticipating any dra- matic changes since there appeared to be little room for movement in considera- tion of what needed funding and the City's contractual obligations. Mayor Klaus- ing encouraged individual Councilmembers to get their proposals to staff as soon as possible to allow their analysis and feedbacks on impacts from those proposals. Councilmember Roe advised that he would be preparing his recommendations be- tween now and the next meeting for discussion; and would be contacting staff in all departments to determine impacts of his recommendations; and anticipated coming to the next meeting with suggestions that would work for productive dis- cussion among the entire City Council. 11.
