The meeting was called to order at 5:38 P.M. by Finance Committee Chairman Bob Weber.
Councilman Weber made a few opening remarks and turned the meeting over to City Administrator Rich Mays.
Mr. Mays started by reviewing the General Fund Revenue and Expense accounts and then turned to the total
City Budget with its Revenue and Expense classifications. Next Mr. Mays turned his attention to the Police
Department budget and used it as an example of how the budget is structured. After reviewing this budget Mr.
Mays turned the floor over to Mayor Landwehr who presented a brief overview of the financial condition of the
City and explained, in general terms, his thoughts on the condition of the vehicles and equipment the City
currently operates. Mayor Landwehr explained that he will be asking staff to prepare a comprehensive plan to
address this vehicle and equipment problem with a thought of funding this plan through the use of the General
Fund Fund Balance. Mayor Landwehr indicated that this portion of the budget review will be addressed as a
total committee and after the budget sub-committee=s have finished their review.
After Mayor Landwehr concluded his remarks Councilman Weber turned the meeting over to the budget
sub-committee Chairman, Councilman Dean Martin, who then turned the floor over to Pat Sullivan, Director of
Community Development who reviewed each of the operating divisions under Community Development. Mr.
Sullivan highlighted some of the expenditure levels as well as some of the requests on the pink sheets.
The sub-committee, after some lengthy discussion, decided that the following items would be brought back to
the full committee as items for further review and possible funding:
1. Preparation of a comprehensive Vehicle and Equipment Replacement Plan.

3. Consider funding GIS priority #2 in the amount of $12,900.
4. Provide an increase in the funding level for Training & Education to compensate for the
increasing cost of tuition reimbursement.
