City Council <br />Meeting Minutes <br />April 21, 2020 <br />Page 4 of 6 <br /> <br />Mayor Stolzmann noted the Council has received some public comments by email and <br />those have been added to the public record. <br /> <br />Public Comments – None. <br /> <br />Councilmember Leh asked how the Utility Fund would be replenished under this <br />recommendation. Deputy City Manager Davis stated that process is up to Council. Staff <br />could come back to the Council every time the fund needs to be replenished or choose a <br />specific amount to use each time. <br /> <br />Mayor Pro Tem Maloney stated the meal program is important and it is likely it will need <br />to continue. He stated the Utility Assistance fund has been underutilized in recent years <br />but that may change. He stated he supports the onetime $5000 donation and <br />recommended future payments be put on the Council’s consent agenda for approval. He <br />thinks additional payments need to be looked at from a big picture. These are important <br />programs but must be looked at in conjunction with the City budget and declining <br />revenue. <br /> <br />Councilmember Brown stated he supports a holistic package and this is a small start to <br />what we should do to address the economic impacts for families. He would like to do as <br />much as we can afford. <br /> <br />Councilmember Dickinson added his support for the programs noting they are critical to <br />the community. <br /> <br />Councilmember Fahey agreed noting these services are critically important to support <br />families in need. <br /> <br />Councilmember Leh thanked the volunteers in our community. He stated he supports <br />funding these programs. He noted there are people in Louisville living tenuously and that <br />needs to be remembered. <br /> <br />Councilmember Lipton stated this is a modest down payment for what is likely to be <br />needed. We have good partners to provide services and they do a good job. <br /> <br />Mayor Pro Tem Maloney moved that the City give $5000 to the Utility Assistance Fund at <br />Sister Carmen and that when that needs to be replenished, subsequent funding be put on <br />the Council’s consent agenda for consideration; he also included approval for the <br />additional $9,000 for Sister Carmen in 2020; Councilmember Leh seconded the motion. <br /> <br />Roll Call Vote: motion passed by unanimous roll call vote. <br /> <br />CITY ATTORNEY’S REPORT <br /> <br />None.
