City Council <br />Meeting Minutes <br />August 30, 2016 <br />Page 2 of 6 <br />Council had no comments/questions on the Historic Preservation Fund. <br />Technology Management Fund <br />City Manager Fleming stated this is the fund we use for tracking capital expenditures for <br />technology. IT Director Neves noted staff has changed from a complete computer <br />replacement every four years to an annual replacement of'/ of the computers, meaning <br />the numbers have been changed to reflect a steady annual expenditure rather than a <br />large contribution every four years. <br />City Manager Fleming stated the charts for the proposed budget for this meeting do not <br />reflect the allocation of costs to different program areas that we will see in the new <br />program budgeting. In some cases it changes forecasts significantly. In the general fund <br />there will be approximately $300,000 more in expenditures. There may be more <br />changes to the forecasts as the information is pulled from the new program budgeting <br />system. <br />Council had no comments/questions on the Technology Fund. <br />Fleet Management Fund <br />City Manager Fleming stated this fund reflects replacement of vehicles in the inventory <br />for all departments. Staff has intentionally reduced this fund balance over time to <br />maintain a more reasonable level and not to keep a large balance. The reserve level is <br />designed to absorb the ups and downs of sudden needs for replacement. <br />Mayor Pro Tem Lipton asked if the reserves should be brought even lower so that the <br />fund isn't keeping money that could be used for something else. Members concurred a <br />lower reserve level would be reasonable so long as there is enough to cover <br />emergencies. Staff will bring back a target amount or percent for the fund. <br />Cemetery Fund <br />City Manager Fleming stated this fund basically covers equipment replacement. <br />Council had no comments/questions on the Cemetery Fund. <br />Open Space & Parks Fund <br />City Manager Fleming noted a number of projects have been moved or changed based <br />on previous Council discussions. This includes the Highway 42 underpass at Hecla <br />Drive which is now proposed for design in 2017 and building in 2018. <br />Councilmember Stolzmann asked if this underpass could have a more descriptive name <br />so people know what it is. <br />Mayor Pro Tem Lipton asked for more information on the Centennial Parkway Median <br />Parks. City Manager Fleming stated this came from discussions with Koelbel (the major <br />
