Revitalization Commission <br />Minutes <br />November 13, 2018 <br />Page 2 of 5 <br />Business Matters of Commission <br />• Resolution 10-01 Approval of 2019 LRC Budget <br />a. Staff Presentation <br />Council approved draft budget. Two City CIPs (undergrounding and street pole <br />replacement) were added. Additional change to fully pay off South Street <br />underpass obligation to the city. <br />b. Open Public Hearing <br />Chair Steve Fisher opened the Public Hearing. There were no comments. <br />c. Close Public Hearing <br />Chair Steve Fisher closed the Public Hearing <br />d. Commission Discussion <br />Chair Fisher said noted that Council approved the budget 7-0. Council member <br />Stolzmann asked for a more formal process to approve budget. This concerns <br />Chair Fisher. We will need ground rules to maintain independence. We will rely <br />on legal counsel. Commissioner Menaker agrees; the LRC needs to be <br />independent. <br />City Manager Balser sees this as an opportunity. Council approves the budget. <br />This could be a chance to get everyone on the same page; a chance to have <br />conversations and work together. <br />Commissioner Lathrop said that traditionally, council has been reactive rather <br />than proactive. LRC is proactive and provides leadership to cause meaningful <br />revitalization within the UR District. <br />Commission Menaker reminded everyone the Cooperation Agreement between <br />the City and LRC makes it clear the roles for the LRC budget. <br />e. Action of Resolution <br />Chair Fisher called for a motion. <br />Commissioner Menaker made motion to approve budget <br />Commissioner Tofte seconded. <br />Motion was approved unanimously <br />• Approval of added services for Desman Inc. <br />
