City Council Meeting Minutes October 12, 2016 Page 7 of 7 Councilmember Maloney stated he also supports relieving the Golf Fund of the debt. Councilmember Keany stated he is concerned about adding the cost of the resource manager to the budget and the affect it will have on the General Fund. He does not want that position to be prioritized and funded from the General Fund which could be used for police staffing. He strongly supports adding back in at least one if not two police officers in the budget. Councilmember Loo would like to see what wouldn't be paid for if the resource manager is paid for. She added her support for the senior accountant position saying it should be prioritized over the resource manager. She also supports putting more funding in maintaining roads in the long-term. Councilmember Leh stated that while the road maintenance is important, he questions whether we have set the bar too high on road maintenance and if perhaps some of that money could be used for other programs. Perhaps this is not as big a trade off as we think and funding paving at such a high level places undue pressure on the budget. Councilmember Leh reiterated his request for funding for a study for connections from north of South Boulder Road to areas south of it. COUNCIL COMMENTS, COMMITTEE REPORTS, AND IDENTIFICATION OF FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS Councilmember Stolzmann stated she had attended the Rocky Mountain City Summit. The DRCOG draft MetroVision plan is now available on-line for review. She reported on DRCOG activities. Councilmember Leh stated the Consortium of Cities is working on sustainability issues including a recent study on "Future Climate Extremes in Boulder County." He noted the Consortium's study on affordable housing and homelessness is very informative and encouraged Council to read it.
