PRESENT: Mayor Dennis Walsh, Council Members Alisa Benson, Richard F. Crosby II, Matt
Johnson, and Maria Veach. Staff members present were City Administrator Adam Edwards,
Finance Director Ron Olson, Police Chief Correy Farniok, Public Works Superintendent DJ
Goman, and City Clerk Anna Carlson.
1. Enterprise Budgets Update
Finance Director Ron Olson presented the Enterprise Budget update to the City Council.
He noted that the budget sheets presented are the first drafts of the enterprise budgets and
briefly explained the purpose of each.
Mayor Walsh noted that past councils have been diligent in creating responsible funding
to prepare for where we are heading and it is important to continue that practice moving
forward.
Olson added that the rates are and have been designed so that we can avoid going out for
bonding as little as possible. Olson highlighted each fund and noted important points for
each.
There was some discussion about the organics and recycling programs and the mandates
that will be coming to the city in 2024 in regard to those programs. The Infiltration and
Inflow process and billing was also discussed. Council asked if an article could be
provided in the newsletter to discuss I&I.
2. UTVs on City Streets
Police Chief Correy Farniok presented the UTV's and other Specialized Vehicles-Local
Rules. Currently, UTV usage is not prohibited on local streets, however,there are access
points which create the need for UTV's on streets and the city does not have ditches
which also creates city street use.
Walsh recommended Council revisiting this in a future work session. He also noted that
this would be another good article for the newsletter.
Meeting ended at 5:51 p.m.
