UNFINISHED BUSINESS
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING SEPTEMBER 22, 1997 8
Councilman Rick Nilges stated that the reductions to the budget discussed in Finance
Committee meetings would be available in the near future. When they are completed, the
Finance Committee will set dates to complete the budget, and he felt it would probably take
about two or three meetings, depending on the reductions.
Councilman Rick Nilges noted that the Third Quarter Financial results had been sent to
Council, and requested a brief overview of that report. City Administrator Rich Mays
responded that one of the most critical issues was the sales tax, which had been very level
over the past nine months. The September sales tax came in about two weeks ago, and
was 7 %2% over, which helped the City this year and would help the projections for next year.
The overall report indicates both spending and revenues are pretty much on target.
Councilman John Landwehr stated he had received calls from constituents concerning the
condition of Oak Hills Golf Course. Parks & Recreation Department Director Bill Lockwood
responded by giving a report of the problems which had been encountered at the course,
and the progress that is being made to address those problems. He stated that even though
some of the holes have been unplayable, but that they had been able to remain open for
business and patrons have been able to play the course albeit in a little different way than
usual. Councilman Rick Nilges asked if the Parks and Recreation Department planned to
issue refunds to season pass holders because the whole course had not been playable
much of the summer season. Mr. Lockwood responded that the topic has been discussed
at the Parks and Recreation Commission meeting, and that it had been determined that
since the course had remained open for business and that their prices are so low in the first
place, refunds were not considered appropriate. He stated they are looking at some other
measures, however, that may deal with that situation, but they have not been adopted at
this point.
COUNCIL LIAISON REPORTS
