Regular City Council Meeting Monday, November 15, 2010 Page 16 Councilmember Pust sought clarification on information provided on pages 16 -18 of the CIP, specifically the Chart on page 18, related to capital facilities for the Fire Department and pending discussions on future plans for construction or re- modeling of facilities. Mr. Miller noted that the CIP represented a snapshot in time as of May of 2011, and the document remained in flux. City Manager Malinen directed Councilmembers to the spreadsheet (Attachment A), for more detail of those anticipated expenditures considered by staff to be short-term, and those items included to provide a basis for potential impacts over a period of time. After further discussions, Councilmembers concurred that, while the items were included as potential major capital expenditures whether built out or remodeled, the dollar amounts could change dramatically. Councilmember Ihlan sought clarification of those items included in Attachment A that were 2011 capital expenditures and included in the 2011 proposed budget; with Mr. Miller responding that those items highlighted in blue had been identi- fied as 2011 capital expenditures. Councilmember Ihlan suggested that Council- members review those individual items to determine if they should remain funded in the 2011 budget. Councilmember Ihlan expressed her preference, rather than "adopting" the CIP, to "receive" it with the understanding that is only a projection of proposed expendi- tures, but not part of the budget until the City Council makes those individual items part of a particular annual budget. Mr. Miller reminded Councilmembers that the items are typically on the list of "General Purchases over $5,000," they would come before the City Council for approval, and provide another opportunity for Council consideration prior to their approval. Klausing moved, Johnson seconded, receipt of the City's 2011 2020 Capital In- vestment Plan (CIP) as presented, including Attachment A as an appendix, for public dissemination. Councilmember Roe asked that staff make that detailed information available to the public at their earliest convenience. Roll Call Ayes: Pust; Johnson; Roe; Ihlan; and Klausing. Nays: None.
