City Council <br />Budget Retreat Meeting Minutes <br />July 12 & August 2, 2018 <br />Page 8of13 <br />Mayor Pro Tem Lipton stated we need a schematic design before we go to ballot so we <br />have a true idea of the numbers. If the survey results are good we can move this to <br />2019. Councilmember Keany agreed we need a 30% design to get a good cost <br />estimate. <br />Mayor Pro Tem Lipton would like to know what the legal limitations are to using the HPF <br />for this and would like a 50/50 split on HPF and other funding. <br />City Manager Balser summarized the conversation: the plan is to leave this in 2020 as a <br />placeholder and look for additional funds; this will be noted as a footnote. We will <br />remove the existing building renovations to a separate CIP. <br />Page #103 Contract Striping — Mayor Pro Tem Lipton asked why this is CIP not <br />maintenance. Director Kowar stated it can be moved to operating. <br />Page #104 Traffic Signal Controller Art — Mayor Pro Tem Lipton would like to it <br />removed, Councilmember Keany supports keeping it. Councilmember Loo asked if the <br />LCC could be involved. <br />Page #105 Illuminated Street Signs — Councilmember Loo asked why this is needed. <br />Director Kowar stated it helps with visibility at night, but it is discretionary. Members <br />agreed to remove it. <br />Page # 106 Traffic Signal Painting — Members agreed this should be maintenance or <br />operations, not CIP. <br />Page #111 Decorative Streetlight LED Conversion— Councilmember Keany asked if this <br />is downtown or city wide. Hogan stated it is citywide to replace heads with similar <br />shaped ones. Councilmember Stolzmann would like to be part of a larger lighting <br />program to see if there are other things we should be doing along with this; is there new <br />technology to consider. Councilmember Stolzmann stated all kinds of new technology <br />that should be investigated. <br />The consensus was to leave construction money in 2020 and allocate some planning <br />money in 2019. This priority may change based on if Xcel has interest in helping or if <br />any new programs are available. <br />Page #112 Tennis Court Renovations — Councilmember Loo asked if this will change <br />based on the recent hail damage. City Manager Balser stated it might change when the <br />insurance information is figured out. Send to Rec Board for review. <br />Page #116 Repurpose Inline Rink Mayor Pro Tem Lipton stated we should allocate <br />some planning money earlier to decide what to do with this asset that is underutilized. <br />
