B
Okay,
Ron
well
Thank
You.
Mr.
mayor
members
of
council,
we
are
basically
here
to
talk
more
about
the
the
formality
of
how
we
move
forward
everything
that
we've
discussed.
It
was
an
all-encompassing
everything
we
were
talking
about.
There
was
one
change
for
a
request
to
me
pretty
place
in
the
CIP
that
we'll
talk
about
here
shortly,
the
McKinley
piece
that
was
in
and
it
mysteriously
was
out,
and
now
it's
back
in
again
it's
out
about
three
or
four
years,
so
it
doesn't
affect
the
current
budget.
B
We've
got
coming
in
so
I'm
just
going
to
take
you
through
a
process.
If
you
have
questions
again,
as
I've
said
before,
is
we'll
stay
as
long
or
short
as
you
want
to
be.
At
least
Joel
would
like
to
be
out
here
in
15
minutes,
so
I
think
we
can
probably
reach
that
goal
unless
there's
some
questions
a
mic.
So
the
first
thing
you're
looking
at
is
our
CIP
that
we
that
we
actually
kicked
off
our
budget
piece
with.
B
We
given
an
opportunity
for
the
council
to
kind
of
weigh
in
over
the
last
month
and
a
half
or
so
to
see.
If
there's
any
changes,
so
what
you
have
before
you
today
is
staffs
recommendation
to
move
forward
with
the
CIP,
which
includes,
on
page
nine,
the
McKinley
piece
we
talked
about
in
this
budget,
but
this
CIP
before
you
is
30
cents.
So
it's
exactly
where
it
was
when
we
discussed
this
in
early
December,
any
detailed
questions
you
like
to
have
on
the
CIP
piece
or
we
can
move
forward
on
the
other
pages.
C
B
The
beauty
of
this
council
council
Minh
is
that
this
is
the
maximum
we
could
do
not
the
minimum
Scott's
already
started
the
conversations
that
that
we
would
be
prepared
at
that
time,
but
to
go
through
the
exercise.
This
early,
we
thought
it'd
be
best
to
just
kind
of
work
along
and
wait
would
see
what
happens.
So.
Yes,
we're
prepared,
remember
when
you
adopt
the
budget,
we
bring
forward
to
you,
you
can
bring
it
down,
you
can
fart,
but
you
can't
bring
it
up
so
changes.
Can
they
be
made
downward
and
not
upward?
So.
B
E
E
F
B
E
F
Is
not
that's
correct,
yeah
I
think
it
looks
like
the
product,
it's
just
a
general
project,
because
maybe
there
would
be
future
phases.
So
these
amazing
machines,
general,
so
I
think
that's
probably
something
we
have
to
work
out
and
when
we
prepare
the
actual
sheet
put
the
description
of
what
the
phrases
yeah
and
I.
E
F
E
G
G
E
Okay,
I
can't
imagine
9
I
can't
imagine
because
they
made
it
three
lanes.
Mr.
mayor,
the
the
portion
of
it
that
they
just
completed
I
can't
imagine
that
that
small
stretch
there
with
only
putting
two
lanes
it
already
had
sidewalk
on
one
side
of
the
street,
would
be
any
more
than
3.5
million
I'm
I.
That
would
really
surprise
me.
Okay,.
F
F
F
F
B
B
We
go
page
13,
I
believe
is
where
you
want
to
turn
to
that's
after
the
CIT
portion
right
right.
The
purpose
of
this
form
is
is
just
to
kind
of
show
you
how
it
would
look.
This
is
what
would
go
forward.
This
page
right
here
on
page
13
shows
the
30
cent
increase
that
we
talked
about,
so
the
only
increase
in
our
task
tax,
asking
from
last
year's
the
30
cents
that
was
in
the
CIP
portion
and
again
I
will
remind
you
you
you
can't
go
up
from
that,
but
you
can
go
down
from
that.
G
B
B
E
B
B
Does
correct,
but
I'm
talking
about
last
year's
and
and
I
get
you
make
that
so
yeah
our
goal
is
or
the
instructions
we
got
from
the
city
manager
is
to
make
sure
we're
monitoring.
As
that
money
comes
in
I'll
talk
about
later
to
show
how
that
was
gas
tax
fires
then.
So
it
gives
you
a
level
level
of
comfort
when
we
get
to
that
point.
B
G
E
B
B
We
would
look
for
the
City
Council
to
adopt
artists
to
set
the
public
hearing
for
March
11th
for
our
hearing,
which
is
after
the
sales
tax
issue
comes
ballot,
comes
before
their
public,
the
shaded
area.
You
see
there.
Those
are
the
days
that
we
have
to
make
sure
that
we
get
them
published.
So
it
just
kind
of
lays
out.
Once
you
pass
those
there's,
there's
a
you.
You
can't
be
too
far
out
from
the
public
hearings
so
that
that
gray,
shaded
arrow
area
just
kind
of
gives
us
the
window.
A
B
A
And
Bob
before
you
go
further
there,
the
only
difference
in
the
detail
behind
that
is
in
the
debt
service
fund
dealing
with
the
capital
projects
so
right
above
the
1664,
you
see
that
297
rate
that
would
be
the
debt
service
piece
of
our
property
taxes.
That's
the
difference
from
the
earlier
page
that
was
387,
otherwise
Bob.
The
rest
is.
B
Evidence
in
some
of
the
and
some
a
little
bit
of
the
detail
on
the
other,
but
yes,
absolutely
that's
the
major
piece
of
it,
but
we
also
thought
in
page
16
and
17
I.
Think
it's
two
pages
and
18
I
want
to
talk
a
little
bit,
how
the
sales
tax
piece
flows
through.
So
you
can
see
it
so
with
or
without
the
the
public
measure
passing
we
still
have
to
build
a
budget
is
this?
Is
it
it
might
so
on
the
revenue
page,
you
can
see
the
if
you
look
at
the
special
revenues
piece.
B
That's
where
sales
tax
comes
in
and
I
think
we
highlighted
it
or
you're
not
mistaken.
So
you
can
see
that
37
million
highlighted
in
the
revenues
piece
into
that
piece.
So
that's
really
the
only
thing
different
from
the
revenue
side.
Then
we'll
move
into
the
expenditures.
If
you
don't
have
any
questions
about
that.
B
Page
17
staff
attempted
to
try
to
put
some
plate
things
place,
markers
in
the
state
form.
Should
it
pass
so
you
can
see
how
that's
going
to
work,
and
so
you
can
see
that
the
highlighted
piece
of
the
million
three
it's
under
the
fire
department.
There
was
discussion.
This
party
discussions
with
the
public
that
a
million
three
to
cover
to
help
cover
for
the
safer
grant
going
away.
You
can
see
that
that's
now
in
here
should
it
pass.
If
it
doesn't,
we
obviously
don't
have
that
other
things.
That's
in
here
is
library
services.
B
B
B
B
D
A
It's
I
think
it's
typically
donations
that
have
a
very
specific
use
that
has
to
be
like
it
money
given
that
says,
has
to
go
to
library,
books
or
parts
parks
in
this
case
might
be
a
specific
park,
very,
very
defined
funds.
So
okay
just
seemed
odd,
like
an
endowment
where
only
the
interest
can
be
spent.
It's
just
always
sitting
there.
Okay,.
B
B
On
page
eighteen,
the
capital
project
piece
that
you
saw-
that's
that
bet
piece
of
the
sales
taxes
was
built
into
this
as
well
on
for
special
revenue,
so
that
I
believe
that
that
eleven
million
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
is
made
up
of
neighborhoods
and
Street
infrastructure.
That
was
discussed
during
the
budget
process
and
I'll
get
to
the
debt
service
piece
here
shortly,
but
again
that
that
goes
into
that
piece.
E
Was
just
asking
Scott
that
eleven
point?
Five
million
is
additional
revenue
on
top
of
what
we're
already
putting
into
street
improvements
driver
it
improve
that's
correct,
yep
yeah
and
once
we
trying
to
highlight
really
need
to
I
mean
that's
sensing
that
probably
we
should
make
sure
that
everyone
understands
that
there's
additional
revenue,
that's
going
directly
back
into
our
neighborhoods
from
the
sales
taxes,
so.
B
We
tried
to
highlight
the
ones
that
had
the
sales
tax
pieces
in
it,
so
it's
a
lot
easier
to
follow
on
this
piece,
so
the
forms
are
actually
more
than
this
and
there's
more
detail
that
goes
to
the
state,
but
but
we
did
it.
Yes,
absolutely
and
I
and
I
believe
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
is
anything
we
spend
here
we
have
to.
We
have
to
chew
it
up
at
the
end
of
the
year
to
show
the
public
that
we
did
exactly
what
we
said.
We
were
new
right.
B
There's
also
a
section
I
believe
in
here
as
well.
If
you
recall
during
lessons
learned
during
the
stormwater
piece,
there
was
a
recommendation
from
the
infrastructure
group
of
the
public
of
that
we
designate
a
certain
amount
of
money
to
go
back
into
the
storm
water
and
there's
five
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars.
If
we
get
sales
tax,
that
would
go
back
into
that
piece.
G
E
C
B
You
know
I've
well
of
that.
Well
of
that
eighteen
point:
five
million
goes
back
to
the
debt
service
fund
right.
It
goes
back
into
our
debt
service
fund
that
we
said
we're
going
to
lower
our
taxes
and
that's
what
we
used
to
lower
the
sixty
cents
down
so
in
that
number
is
eighteen
thousand
five
hundred
or
fifty
percent
of
what
we're
projecting
getting
in
sales
taxes
being
transferred
back
in
to
our
debt
service
fund,
to
be
able
to
utilize
to
buy
down
those
projects
that
we
talked
about
to
buy
the
rate
down.
B
B
So
given
ins
on
75
of
that
$18,500
will
be,
will
be
shifted
over
into
the
debt
service
fund
to
help
lower
that
rate
down.
We
talked
about
the
capital
projects
550,000
we
transferred
over
into
stormwater
to
be
able
to
do
storm
our
projects.
The
rest
of
that
number
that's
made
up
is
primarily
Road
use.
D
Lately,
we've
been
getting
engineering
estimates
for
projects
and
the
actual
bidding
has
been
completely
out
of
line,
for
example,
that
bike
path
repair.
It
was
the
estimated
450,000
and
the
bid
came
in
low
bid
came
in
at
like
573.
Have
we
taken
into
consideration
the
increased
in
construction
cost
we're
seeing
here
that
we've
seen
lately.
B
Primarily,
that's
what
we
try
to
do.
We
try
to
build
in
inflation
factors
and
changes
for
those
future
years.
This
particular
year.
We
put
this
together
as
late
as
we
can
so
we're,
assuming
that
we've
built
some
of
those
things
in,
but
in
today's
environment,
their
shortage
of
construct,
our
contractors
out
there
and
sometimes
the
competitive
part,
isn't
working
as
well,
because
everybody's
so
busy
another
project.
So
it's
really
hard
to
put
your
finger
on
that.
But
engineering
spends
an
awful
lot
of
time
on
that
trying
to
get
it
as
close
as
they
can.
B
And
with
that,
I
believe
that
we've
shared
everything
that
we've
intended
tune
in
today's
meeting.
If
there's
any
other
questions
you
have
please
let
me
know,
but
otherwise
you
would.
We
would
anticipate
on
the
11th
of
February
that
we
would
be
bringing
in
that
first
sheet.
We
brought
in
that
says.
This
is
what
we
certified
to
the
state,
that's
setting
the
public
hearing
for
it,
and
then
that
would
be
on
March
11th
is
when
you'd
actually
have
the
public
hearing,
which
is
after
the
public
measure,
of
whether
sales
tax
passes
or
not.
B
But
last
year
we
talked
about
having
to
have
two
different
budgets.
This
year
we
tried
to
incorporate
it
into
one.
Obviously,
if
the
citizens
to
choose
not
to
do
the
sales
tax,
we
can't
do
those
projects
and
we'll
go
back
to
that.
30
cent
increase
and
we'd
be
on
target
for
$100
50
for
the
rest
of
that
five-year
CIP
increases
to
keep
the
projects
that
are
in
there
today.
G
Mr.
Bajoran
and
as
we
talked
about
the
local
option,
part
of
and
given
some
of
the
things
that
we
had
to
do
after
the
June
30
event
and
everything
else,
you
know
I'm
worried
moving
forward.
You
know
about
our
bond
ratings
and
and
how
it
is
that
we're
going
to
boost
our
funds
and
so
that
we
can
at
least
maintain
or
maybe
even
increase
to
a
triple-a
and
also
I'm
worried
about
all
the
stuff
that
we
put
on
the
capital
side
that
we
bond.
G
A
So
we
could
absolutely
come
back
after
a
successful
vote
and
show
you
what
what
that
plan
looks
like
as
far
as
the
bond
rating
and
I,
let
Bob
jump
in
at
any
point
as
well,
but
you
know
they're,
like
16
or
17.
Factors
that
go
into
the
bond
rating
capacity
is
one
of
them,
and
so
we
have
state
law
that
limits
how
much
we
can
issue
debt.
A
We
have
self-imposed
limits
on
how
much
we
issue
about
80
percent
of
what
the
state
allows
is
our
current,
the
old
60,
yes,
and
so
that
is
a
concern,
and
that
is
one
of
the
factors
or
the
variables
right
now
that
we
are
pushing
high
on
and
and
the
amount
of
debt
that
we
have
on
the
books
and
what
we're
looking
at.
Moving
forward,
so
that
is
absolutely
one
of
the
the
factors
that
that
we
don't
look
so
favorable
in
the
mountain
debt.
So
another
purpose
for
that
sales
tax
is
to
reverse
that
trend.
A
You
know
the
positive
factors
of
the
general
fund
balance
compared
to
the
amount
of
debt
we've
been
able
to
maintain
our
bond
rating,
and
so
in
order
to
get
to
a
triple-a
which
I
would
like
to
see
us
do,
because
that's
that
enables
us
to
have
a
lower
interest
rate
on
the
debt
that
we
do
issue.
So
that's
real
savings
to
the
community.
If
we're
able
to
get
that
triple-a
bond
rating,
we
can
come
back
to
with
a
full
plan
that
would
probably
be
a
five
or
six
year
plan
to
get
there.
A
You
don't
just
change
your
bond
rating
overnight.
We
would
need
to
increase
the
general
fund
balance.
Yet
again,
it's
currently
the
policies
at
fifteen
percent
of
our
annual
spend.
We
would
need
to
see
that
policy
increase.
We
would
need
to
reduce
the
amount
of
debt
by
using
Pago
instead
of
borrowing,
and
then
we
would
need
to
actually
see
some
improvements
in
our
citizenry
demographics
from
earnings
capacity,
and
so
there
are
some
of
those
factors
that
get
all
the
way
down
into
how's
the
economy
going
in.
A
C
A
It's
a
I
would
say
it's
one
of
the
two
second-tier
factors,
but
it's
definitely
there
and
it's
mentioned,
is
a
weakness
in
our
credit
rating.
We
so
we'll
come
back
and
give
you
a
full
conversation
on
that.
If
we're,
if
we're
successful,
I
would
tell
you
that
I
would
not
recommend
trying
to
go
to
a
triple-a
bond
rating
without
the
sales
tax
in
place.
The
the
fiscal
stability
and
and
the
other
elements
would
would
outweigh
that
desire.
So
where
we're
at
now
with
a
double-a
is,
is
sufficient.
B
So
if
I
could
just
add
something
so
as
part
of
when
we
get
our
bond
rating,
we
briefly
said
something
that
to
our
bond
rating
firm
than
hey,
that's
kind
of
in
our
radar.
The
next
time
we
talked
to
them
to
talk
about
our
bonds.
It
will
be
issued
most
likely
in
July
or
August
and
we'll
know
by
then
whether
that
that
ballot
and
then
we're
going
to
continue
to
say
how
can
we
get
there?
So
they
know
that's
on
our
radar
and
they
want
to
be
just
as
helpful
for
us
to
figure.
That
out.
C
A

Well,
I
know
you
were
all
hoping
to
be
here
for
another
hour,
but
for
those
of
you
that
are
excited
enough
to
want
to
spend
some
more
time
with
us,
we'll
be
back
here
this
evening
at
a
city
council
meeting.
So
unless
anybody
else
has
any
other
statements
or
questions,
let's
declare
this
meeting
adjourned.
Thank
you
all
for
attending.
