TO: FROM: Mayor Peterson and Council Members Ron Moorse, City Administrator DATE:May 5,2003 SUBJECT: Future Expenditure Needs 1.

Public Works Equipment Replacement — Current transfer(levy) for equipment replacement is insufficient for future needs Current transfer is $65,000/yr. The transfer amount needs to be increased to $100,000/yr. (Please see the attached Capital Spending Plan for the Public Services Department) 3. Police Equipment Replacement/Upgrades A. The Police will need to replace/upgrade the computer terminals in their squad cars in the next 2-3 years. This wit! cost approximately $70,000. B. The Police Department needs to replace or upgrade its Police Records System. This is planned to cost approximately $90,000, to be financed over the next six years. 4. Staff Needs — The PD needs another Investigator. — When the Dahlstrom and Willow View developments are built-out (3-5 years), we will have added approximately 500 new residents. This Is a 7% increase. This will require the addition of at least one Police Officer. — We have discussed the need for an Assistant City Administrator. 5. Street Rehabilitation — The level of expenditures for street rehabilitation will need to increase substantially due to the need to move beyond simple overlays to a mill and overlay or to full reconstruction. This could double the cost of rehabilitating a mile of street. We are currently levying $130,000 per year for street overlays. If the cost of street rehabilitation doubles, we will only be able to improve one- half of the number of miles of streets we improve today. t ■,i I
