City .Council <br />Meeting Minutes. <br />May 10,201.6 <br />Page 3ofio <br />Councilmember Stolzmann stated the Finance Committee has been working on the key <br />indicators and ideally what they want is to review key indicators from year-to-year and <br />update only those that need changing and not creating new ones, each year. In future <br />years she would like to get away from contributing projects as most of that is covered in <br />the CIP and it confuses the conversation, but rather depend on established key <br />indicators and core services. <br />Councilmember Loo stated the results from the Citizen Survey will. inform much of how <br />the budget moves forward this year. <br />City Manager Fleming noted this information is very preliminary and that atthis time <br />staff really doesn't know how much these projects will cost or how much staff time might <br />be required. <br />Councilmember Keany stated he sees the contributing projects list as what is important <br />in addition to core services. <br />City Manager Fleming noted this list is big picture and staff needs to know what Council <br />thinks is important as the budget process moves forward. He noted some of this will <br />require additional resources and time; some projects will need policy direction from the <br />City Council, and some are capital projects. <br />Transportation <br />Councilmember Stolzmann would like to see quiet zones move to planning and <br />engineering, would like to see utility undergrounding added to planning and engineering, <br />and add synchronized lights along McCasliin from Cherry Street to Superior to the <br />Transportation list. <br />Councilmember Loo would like to examine how to mitigate snow build up on south sides <br />of street and ice buildup at curbs and add that to the list where it makes sense. Mayor. <br />Muckle suggested it be added only if it is not a huge use of staff time or money. <br />City Manager Fleming noted that currently he is working on the capital requests and he <br />has to eliminate $10M from the current requests just to bring the fund balance tozero, <br />so adding items to the list will be financially difficult. <br />Councilmember Maloney asked if traffic calming is included in the existing list. <br />Councilmember Keany stated if traffic calming is to be a new direction for the City, the <br />Council should have a larger policy discussion about it. Councilmember Maloney stated <br />he was asking for items like additional stop signs, more use of the speed trailer, minor <br />things. <br />Councilmember Lipton wanted to make sure street maintenance and pot hole filling is <br />included. <br />23 <br />
