GENERAL BUSINESS
Council reviewed the Theis case including the issue of dates for action and general review for purposes of the
council member absent at the last meeting. It was noted that there is an ordinance governing the number of fowl
a property owner can have. The council requested that staff review this ordinance to determine if it was
sufficient to protect the public health, safety and welfare.
2000 YTD - BUDGET
Councilor Bucher provided an overview of the budget worksheets. Administrator Colotti reviewed the various
line items in the budget. Each department manager had reviewed the budget in advance of the meeting and
prepared the estimated performance to complete (EPTC) for each line item. There were several areas were cuts
were possible due to negotiated savings and changes in procedure that maximized efficiency. There were other
areas that required increased funding based on additional goods and services being provided. It is projected that
the city will spend $14,829 from its reserves if the current level of revenue and expenditures continues as
anticipated.
The council was generally in favor of the proposed EPTC numbers. It was proposed that staff use these target
numbers vs. the 2000 budget numbers, given the significant changes made. The council requested further
information on the following fees; commercial burning permit, building permit, land use, utility access, and
liquor license. The City Attorney suggested that equipment certificates might be an option for the two major
capital purchases made this year.
The council committed to continue their monthly review of the budget as established at the first meeting of the
month. The Administrator was asked to bring back information on equipment certificates and fees by the end of
July.
