Re: Monthly Department Report – June 2019
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
