Re: Monthly Department Report – June 2019
4th of July Event Planning:
The City’s goal is to promote a healthy and safe 4th of July experience for residents and visitors to our community. Communications Manager Erin Greaves and Recreation Program staff
worked diligently throughout June to prepare for the Lakeside Liberty Fest by recruiting vendors, arranging for outdoor displays, creating family friendly activities, arranging for
music, outdoor movie night and event advertising. Parks, Public Works and Police staff provide Legacy Park set up, restroom facilities, and traffic control. The City again provided
a Welcome Tent with free giveaways donated by Cheap Thrills and free healthy snacks, water and sunscreen made possible by a donation from St. Luke’s McCall.
Airport Manager Hiring Process Completed:
The Airport Manager hiring process was conducted during the month of June with the goal of having a new Manager on board as close as possible to the last day of the current Manager to
ensure a smooth transition of service to our airport users and tenants. If the Council confirms my recommendation for the appointment of Rick Stein, this goal will be accomplished.
A separate agenda bill for Mr. Stein’s appointment is included in this packet and details his background.
FY20 Budget Preparation Almost Complete:
During the month of June, City Treasurer Linda Stokes and I prepared a draft budget and met with Council at a special work session on June 28. Council gave final direction for balancing
of the FY20 budget and the establishment of a Reserve Fund for Workforce Housing. Council will be presented with our final budget recommendation for a tentative maximum budget, including
the Capital Improvement Plan, on July 26th.
