Regular City Council Meeting Monday, March 28, 2011 Page 18 Councilmember McGehee suggested that, once the items were codified by catego- ry, there may be other ways to combine items that would allow the City Council to provide a broader direction. Councilmember Willmus clarified that his intent of Item#36 on page 2 of 3 under HRA items, was for further discussion of HIA's in the context of what may be missing, rather than his interest in doing a number of them. Mayor Roe suggested that staff's consolidation may have created some misper- ceptions; and noted the need to keep revisiting the document periodically. Mayor Roe noted several small corrections: #8 under civic engagement, from his original list, and clarified that it was his intent to support the Human Rights Commission on civic engagement and neighborhoods, and he didn't want that additional lan- guage lost; and #11 also under Human Rights, and the need to correct language form "Committee" to "Commission." Mayor Roe noted the need to clarify and identify the meaning of the asterisks as well. Willmus moved, Pust seconded, approval of the City's Work Plan(Attachment A) as amended. Councilmember McGehee suggested that individual Councilmembers attempt fur- ther prioritization to assist and direct staff. Mayor Roe personally responded that this list was developed from the "Must DO" lists as discussed by the body during the process, and listed the body's highest priorities; and while not getting them all done, they needed to be worked on based on that original City Council and staff collaborative discussion. Councilmember McGehee concurred. Roll Call Ayes: Pust; Willmus; McGehee; and Roe. Nays: None. b. Discussion on the 2012—2013 Budget & Tax Levy Mayor Roe noted that this item was based on the larger context and process dis- cussions, with staff directed by the City Council to perform several exercises, in- cluding a ten percent (10%) reduction across the board as presented. Mayor Roe noted that Councilmember Johnson had originally requested the exercise, and ad- ditional discussion would occur at the April 11, 2011 meeting upon his return. Councilmember McGehee expressed frustration in the information presented, opining that it was not at all what she had expected, and had anticipated dollar amounts or savings included as part of the exercise; or at a minimum 2011 budget amounts and the percent of reduction being recommended.
