BUDGETED REVENUE IN THE GENERAL FUND AND THE TECHNOLOGY <br />FUND PUBLIC HEARING <br />Mayor Sisk requested a Staff presentation. <br />City Manager Fleming explained Resolution No. 29, Series 2009, if authorized, <br />proposes a supplemental appropriation to the City of Louisville's 2009 operating <br />and capital budget and changes to the City's 2009 revenue budget. Additional <br />changes will be forthcoming for the 2010 budget. <br />Mayor Sisk opened the public hearing and requested City Manager Fleming's <br />comments be made part of the record. There were no public comments. <br />COUNCIL COMMENTS <br />City Council <br />Meeting Minutes <br />September 1, 2009 <br />Page 6 of 11 <br />Councilor Muckle asked Chief Goodman if the discontinued use of the 2 decoy <br />patrol cars only saves $400. Police Chief Goodman stated the insurance <br />premium is $700 per car per year. Finance Director Watson explained the $400 <br />savings is in the insurance premiums for those vehicles for the remainder of 2009 <br />and the savings is only in the General Fund. <br />Councilor Muckle asked Chief Goodman to assess the decoy vehicles program. <br />Chief Goodman, an advocate of the program, explained it was originally set up <br />for traffic mitigation but expanded to the business sites. City Manager Fleming <br />explained instead of using 2 dedicated decoy vehicles, other vehicles in the fleet <br />will serve as decoy vehicles. By reducing the size of the fleet it also reduces the <br />capital expense of maintaining those vehicles. <br />Councilor Sackett supported Staffs recommendation and voiced his appreciation <br />to City Manager Fleming for the detailed report. <br />Councilor Yarnell asked if Boards and Commissions will be required to repay <br />their 2009 budget funds or will the remaining balances in those funds be cut. City <br />Manager Fleming confirmed only the remaining balances would be cut. <br />Mayor Pro Tem Marsella applauded City Manager Fleming and Finance Director <br />Watson for the detail they provided. <br />Mayor Sisk stated other communities are also experiencing budget difficulties <br />including the City and County of Denver and the City of Fort Collins. He <br />requested public comment and hearing none, closed the public hearing. <br />MOTION: Councilor Sackett moved to approve Resolution No. 29, Series 2009, <br />seconded by Councilor Clabots. Roll call vote was taken. The motion carried by <br />a vote of 7 -0. <br />30 <br />
