2. COUNCILMEMBERS
REPORT -The Mayor and Councilmembers presented an update on the
activities and functions in
which they have participated.
Councilmember Hanna-Smith
requested more information from Nick Tatton regarding the Demand Side
Management Plan (DSM) expenditures. Nick Tatton stated that the $120,000
proposed annual budget would come from the $2.25 per month user charge that
would be implemented in the plan. Nick Tatton stated that the cost associated
with the program and to move forward with the DSM plan with a resolution as
presented for Council consideration. Mayor Piccolo stated that another resolution
may be put into place when funding for the program is set. He stated that January
of 2009 may be a more appropriate time to set the program in place because the
funding will be available. He suggested placing a cap on the $120,000 annual
budget in case the funding is not completely used. Mayor Piccolo stated that the
project would continue in perpetuity for budget consideration as a normal line
item. Councilmember Hanna-Smith stated that education of the program will be
the key factor in its implementation and success and she is concerned with the
time frame to educate citizens as the City only has a few months until the end
of the year. Pat Larsen stated that the $50,000 estimated for lending should be
taken out of the $120,000 because that amount is a receivable not an expenditure.
Nick Tatton stated that he will
manage the DSM program. Mayor Piccolo stated that it should be reviewed as to
which departments will be used to manage the program. Gary Sonntag stated that
the program should be budgeted ahead of time so that it can be split between
departments if needed. Nick Tatton stated that the program revenue will utilize
a restricted fund and cannot be used for anything other than for its own use.
The program will be reviewed annually and can be amended or stopped at any time.
Mayor Piccolo stated that before the Council makes a final decision, they need
to evaluate the economy and its changes, the Siemens audit and its results,
COLA benefits for retirees, weed abatement programs etc. He stated that with so
many projects at one time, the City needs to be clear about the decisions
regarding available funding. He stated that he is in support of the DSM and
would like to see it implemented but needs to be sure that it can be funded
before making a decision. MOTION.
