Other
side
of
that
is,
we
didn't
have
any
summer
help
this
year
there
was
nobody
to
put
on
to
cover
vacations
and
off
time
and
we're
working
through
that
we've
got
another
school
going
on
right
now
to
get
some
more
help
from
the
volunteer
side
of
it.
So
hopefully
we
can
have
a
strong
staff
this
summer
of
summer
help
people
to
to
facilitate
vacation
time
and
time
off
from
the
regular
staff.
So
it
doesn't
keep
depleting
from
our
own
call
sign
right.
A
E
The
I
certainly
can
up
the
Council
wishes,
Europe
all
right,
so
I'll
go
through
on
page
four
of
the
budget,
which
is
infinitely
council,
has
a
bit
more
information
than
I
have
to
try
for
the
package
already
through
there.
So,
during
the
past,
several
workshops
on
the
2017
budget,
City
Council's,
look
at
the
entire
budget
sub
x.
Over
that
time
the
council
has
decided
they
do
not
want
to
see
the
creasing
services
and
service
levels,
which
is
what
would
have
happened
if
positions
were
eliminated.
E
Without
being
the
case,
this
is
one
one's
health
insurance
and
one
week's
salary,
Department
18
municipal
buildings.
We
are
taking
a
thousand
dollars
from
building
maintenance
at
a
thousand
for
boiler.
Maintenance
in
general
government
we're
taking
two
thousand
from
the
legal
fees
line,
an
emergency
management
we're
taking
5000
miscellaneous
line,
we're
proposing
to
raise
the
fire
rates
by
3%,
rather
than
2%,
originally
anticipated.
That
will
increase
revenues
by
five
hundred
dollars,
combined
with
all
the
CIP.
E
The
these
things
that
up
to
7,000
947,
come
on
with
the
CFE
reduction
of
that
totals
89,000
247,
with
the
voters
of
Maine
approving
the
minimum
wage
increase.
We
have
factored
those
changes
into
our
budget.
This
only
affects
the
parks
in
the
rec
department,
but
this
impact
is
about
thirteen
thousand
dollars
over
the
next.
Several
years
will
be
about
9,000
annually
until
2020,
at
which
time
those
increases
are
going
to
be
tied
to
inflation
November
night.
E
The
council
consensus
was
that
they
did
not
want
to
see
tax
increase
and
in
order
to
accomplish
that,
they
wanted
to
the
amount
of
revenues
collected
in
excess
of
what
was
budgeted
and
the
amount
of
money
left
over
in
the
expense
budget.
At
the
end
of
2015,
that
amount
is
4427
thousand.
Seventy
dollars
utilizing
that
from
fund
balance
with
leaf
will
leave
us
with
approximately
eight
hundred
and
six
thousand
570
and
fund
balance
based
upon
what
was
there
at
the
end
of
2015.
E
That
leaves
us
with
fund
balance
of
8.4
percent
of
our
expense
budget
or
one
month's
expenses.
The
minimum
recommended
amount
to
having
a
fund
balance
of
seventeen
percent
going
back
to
2005.
We've
never
had
a
fun
balance
that
low.
We
have
not
looked
further
back
than
that
by
utilizing
this
much
from
phone
bounds.
It
will
also
impact
our
cash
flow.
During
the
months
of
june
july
august,
the
city
typically
experienced
cat
experiences.
Cash
flow
issues
in
2016
was
the
first
time
in
about
seven
years.
E
We
did
not
have
to
delay
paying
bills
were
able
making
payroll
or
having
to
take
out
a
taxi,
Katzen
anticipation.
Now
that
wasn't
hard
anyway,
because
of
the
position
of
our
fund
balance
in
2016,
a
quick
comparison
for
cash
flow
from
2013,
you
can
see
in
2016.
Our
low
point
was
just
a
1
million
68,000.
Previously
we've
been
as
low
as
211
thousand
dollars
for
cash
on
hand.
E
I'm
November
Knight,
the
council,
discuss
potentially
setting
aside
any
money
unexpended
in
revenue
collected
above
anticipated
for
2016
12,
set
taxation
in
2018
and
doing
that
same
thing
going
forward.
That
would
certainly
help
for
budgeting
purposes
to
know
the
amount
of
money
available
for
that
purpose
coming
into
the
budget.
If
the
council
wants
to
do
that,
staff
would
recommend
not
letting
those
funds
following
the
fund
balance
every
year,
but
rather
setting
up
a
dedicated
reserve
account
for
such
purposes.
E
However,
staff
believes
that
this
plan
will
be
more
appropriate
if
the
fund
balance
were
in
the
seventeen
to
twenty
four
percent
range.
As
stated
in
the
original
october,
fourteenth
budget
memo
I
caution,
council
against
using
foot
fund
balance
offset
taxes
in
2017.
The
budget
tonight
would
require
40,000
any
texts
over
2016,
which
is
still
nearly
eighty
seven
thousand
dollars
less
than
what
was
collected
in
2015.
The
budget
numbers
presented
here
tonight
that
reflect
those
proposals.
B
B
B
B
E
B
B
We
have
a
capital
improvement
program
here,
which
I
think,
as
I
stated
last
meeting,
may
not
be
perfect,
but
at
least
we
have
one
and
we're
putting
money
away
into
that
capital
improvement
program
for
future
purchases
that
we're
planning
on.
Whereas
a
lot
of
you
Nissa
polities,
don't
do
that
I
think
our
other
neighbors
here
in
limestone
or
you
know,
geez
they
got
to
buy
a
loader
for
165,000
and
they
haven't
put
anything
away
for
it.
So
now
they're
talking
about
what
they
really
need
to
buy
it
or
not.
I
A
B
Have
three
million
dollars
sitting
in
the
bank?
Yeah
I
might
be
more
than
willing
to
go
along
and
think
yet.
We
should
probably
carry
more
than
what
we
are
right
now,
but
as
it
stands
right
now,
due
to
our
circumstances-
and
that's
just
due
to
good
management
here
in
the
past,
how
the
city
has
been
running
not
taking
on
the
big
debt
loads
and
put
money
away
for
the
future
and
then
because
of
that
I'm,
not
worried
that
we
only
have
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars
sitting
there.
B
A
B
F
B
A
H
Needs
to
be
had,
and
then
that
way
everybody
knows
going
into
every
budget
season
what
it's
going
to
be,
and
it
does
provide
some
latitude
of
flexibility
and
not
worry
about
going
across
the
street
to
the
back
part
today,
tomorrow.
Okay,
you
want
that
money
to
work
where,
as
long
as
you
can
yeah,
okay.
J
I
agree
with
young
man
a
knight
seat
on
this
budget.
There
is
no
attempt
at
any
point
to
try
to
reduce
expenses
at
all
I
think,
even
if
it's
a
small
amount,
your
hundred
thousand,
are
we
just
going
to
keep
going
ahead
with
a
budget
every
year
and
saying
this
all
we
need,
and
how
do
we
have
to
do
it
without
any
right.
J
A
B
E
D
E
Gilbert
selvage
would
have
a
change
from
last
year
in
that
beam,
cleaning
up
the
equipment
on
the
side,
yeah
there's
a
couple
of
drops,
and
so
it
looks
like
our
meeting
like
this.
It's
not
it's
older
bro
and
it's
frogs
in
there
a
while
is
something
that
cheap
and
I
felt
like
you
should
clean
up
good
behind.
B
H
E
Site
design
review
applications
been
suspended
from
marijuana,
dispensary
and,
given
the
recent
results
of
the
election
staff,
believes
a
moratorium
on
marijuana
dispensaries,
it's
necessary
to
ensure
the
city
is
well-positioned,
protect
the
health,
welfare
and
safety
of
all
citizens,
as
such
two
ordinances
are
being
proposed
tonight.
Ordinance
number
12
is
an
emergency
ordinance
is
allowed
by
the
Charter
and
section
2.13
sort.
Next
thing
you
want
to
effect
immediately
after
passage
by
the
City
Council
commercial
city.
Ordinances
are
good
for
60
days
unless
offended
by
the
council.
E
Ordinance
number
13
is
regular
or
dancing
the
same
things
as
the
emergency
or
against
ever
since
the
regular
ordinances
do
not
go
into
effect
until
30
days
after
adoption,
this
ordinance
kind
of
go
back
until
late
December.
It's
recommended.
The
council
approve
ordinance
number
12
tonight.
It's
further
recommended
the
council
and
introduce
or
next
number
13
the
night
in
the
public
hearing
is
scheduled
for
november
24.
That
ordinance.
E
E
C
E
H
G
G
F
H
E
Been
asked
whether
or
not
that
city
will
be
willing
to
waive
the
building
permit
fee
for
the
new
school
project.
According
to
our
tech
foot,
according
to
the
architect
for
the
project,
Department
of
Education
typically
expects
the
permit
fees
to
be
waived.
If
the
fee
is
not
waived,
it
would
be
paid
for
as
part
of
the
local
share
of
the
project.
Using
the
current
projected
construction
costs
for
the
new
school
that
building
permit
fee
would
be
approximately
a
hundred
and
sixty-five
thousand
dollars.
E
Also
considering
having
third-party
inspectors
do
the
project
inspection
to
my
service,
ensure
that
city
is
projected
protected
throughout
the
process
staff.
Isn't
it
at
the
time
or
the
expertise
to
complete
all
of
the
inspections
that
will
be
required
as
part
of
a
building
construction
of
this
size.
Third-Party
inspectors
would
be
much
better
suited
to
do
this
in
the
current
staff.
If
the.
H
A
E
D
F
F
H
F
A
E
D
E
Fees
two
different
things:
yes,
so
the
clerk
of
the
works
for
the
inspection
would
be
their
own
behalf.
P
architect
in
the
icrc,
is
the
architects
hi
and
if
the
council
is
comfortable
with
that
being
the
check
and
balance
staff
is
fine
with
it.
That's
the
council
decision,
but
the
staff
is
considering
and
looking
at
third
party
inspecting
inspections
to
make
sure
from
the
liabilities
that
the
city
is
covered
well,.
D
To
me,
the
school
apartment
should
be
making
that
decision.
My
concern
was
is
that
we
were
going
to
spend
out
of
our
pocket
money
to
hire
a
third-party
inspector.
That's
what
I'm
concerned
about
that's,
usually
what
our
fees
more
or
less
cover
our
our
permit
fees,
so
I
would
want
to
make
sure
if,
if
that
was
the
case,
that
we
are
at
least
covering
our
cost
for
those
inspections,
it.
A
A
G
G
D
Other
thing
to
note
is
that
there's
quality
control
and
while
these
projects
and
quality
assurance
and
quality
controls
the
contractors
responsibility
to
make
sure
that
they're
doing
what
they
should
be
doing
and
quality
assurance
is
more
of
an
independent
review
of
what's
going
on
the
same
thing
so
you've
got.
You
know
that
you
place
a
bunch
of
concrete.
You
usually
got
two
people
testing,
that
conquer.
I
A
F
I
B
B
B
B
G
B
G
F
G
G
H
Normally,
when
you
issue
in
a
permanent,
you
also
issuing
the
code
enforcement
officer
is
going
to
follow
up
on
the
issuance
of
that
permit
to
make
sure
that
the
building
is
built
to
the
specification
and
in
accordance
with
your
building
codes
and
local
codes
and
so
on
and
so
forth,
and
that's
how
the
practice
normally
works.
Now,
you're
looking
at
a
little
different
situation
here,.
A
H
F
H
H
C
D
I
A
F
I
Ask
them
about
being
able
to
meet
with
the
quality
control
at
like
on
a
weekly
basis,
to
trying
to
find
out
what
what
are
they
doing
that
week?
You
know
and
kind
of
shadow
them.
Cuz
I
mean
it's
a
good
learning
project
or
anyone
and
I
was
told
I
wouldn't
want
to
do
that.
I
mean
it's
it's
hard
to
outside.
If
we
permit
not.
F
I
A
I
I
I
Know
the
LSU:
if
the
architects
will
tell
you
they
are
chosen
their
reputation
with
the
Department
of
Education,
but
when
that
building
is
built,
its
take,
they
take
the
low
bid.
So
what
does
that
tell
you
I
mean
there's,
there's
some
room
in
there
to
be
a
little
bit
concerned
about
these
people
huge.
D
I
E
That
is
the
number
that
they
have
to
take
to
the
Department
of
Education
here
within
the
next
24
ish
weeks,
for
them
to
approve
a
final
budget
and
I
mean
the
final
number
is
going
to
be
locked
in.
So
if
the
council
wants
to
waive
or
not
waive
I
think
that
decision
should
be
made
a
nightmare
really
could
be
independent
of
whether
or
not
there's
inspections,
I'll.
B
You
know
I'm
going
to
make
a
comment
before
a
vote
here
you
can
waive
it.
That
means
you're,
never
going
to
get
it,
and
it's
not
going
to
be
in
the
budget
if
you
don't
way
with
it'll
be
in
the
budget
and
if
we
end
up
having
costs
or
anything
else
involved
here
from
the
city
for
inspections
or
whatever
at
least,
we
would
have
gotten
that
160
thousand
dollars
that
we
could
use
and
I'll.
D
J
E
My
counselor
mcdougal
just
stated
it
really
we
be
taking
out
of
our
own
pocket.
If
we're
going
to
do
any
third
party
inspection,
we
don't
need
30
minute.
If
that's,
if
that's
the
next
part
of
the
motion
where
we
don't
require
3rd
party
inspections,
let's
staff
is
fine
with
that.
If
council
wants
to
make
that
decision,
so
is
that
two
separate.
J
J
J
D
B
So
why
can't
we
just
leave
it
the
way
it
is
now
where
we
haven't
waived
the
fee
and
if
it
does
come
in
and
go
out,
then
it
comes
in
and
goes
out,
but
at
least
we're
covered.
If
anything
is
happening
here.
In
the
meantime,
at
least,
we
understand
and
have
a
point
to
argue
on
rather
than
just
saying:
well
we
don't
know
it
will
depend
on
this
or
that
or
the
next
thing,
I
think.
G
B
D
F
D
B
E
E
Residential
else
would
not
be
allowed
to
go
back
to
the
property
at
this
point.
Changing
the
zoning
map
to
residential
district.
Allow
me
reveiller
again,
currently
the
properties
owned
z2
but
along
the
eastern
property
border.
It's
bordered
by
at
the
art
one
district,
and
that
is
on
the
next
page,
Planning
Board
held
a
public
hearing
on
this
public
hearing
was
advertising
the
paper
notices
and
to
those
living
within
500
feet
of
the
property.
Planning
Board
believes
this
is
a
reasonable
request.
