City Council <br />Meeting Minutes <br />April 17, 2018 <br />Page 9 of 15 <br />Hogan stated staff has provided a description of each request and its cost, as well as a <br />statement about whether staff is planning to submit a corresponding capital or <br />operational budget request for each item. <br />City Manager Balser stated the items marked for further consideration will be included in <br />future budget discussions, but none would be approved until the budget is finalized. <br />This is an opportunity for Council to give initial staff direction on these items. <br />Councilmember Stolzmann stated it is hard to evaluate these individually without seeing <br />the entire budget and be able judge these requests against other requests. She would <br />like requests from residents included on this list. <br />Public comments — none. <br />Members discussed the requests including specific discussion of the following items. <br />Cultural Council <br />Councilmember Loo stated the LCC requests #5 and #7 for program funding and facility <br />maintenance sound too similar or need more explanation. Councilmember Keany would <br />suggest more incremental increases than doubling the budget for LCC funding. Mayor <br />Muckle stated he is open to some increase here. <br />Mayor Pro Tem Lipton stated LCC gets so little money to begin with that incremental <br />increases will not make much difference. We get a lot of bang for the buck on these <br />programs. For the LCC more funding for grants would go a long way. <br />Mayor Muckle advocated for raising the stage at Community Park and maybe putting <br />some storage in the park to make it a better facility. <br />Councilmember Stolzmann stated if we can afford to do it, upgrading the stage would <br />be nice either in Community Park or at Cottonwood Park. <br />Business Retention and Development <br />Mayor Pro Tem Lipton asked about #3 BRaD's request to have more money for <br />marketing and social media. He stated he hopes this is included in the larger <br />conversation about community engagement. City Manager Balser agreed, stating there <br />will be some funding requests for this in the upcoming budget. <br />Historic Preservation Commission <br />Councilmember Loo does not support the sign installation in #9. She stated the signs <br />are not worth it. Mayor Pro Tem Lipton stated this is one item about which he has never <br />19 <br />
