City Council Minutes Page 5 <br />November 6, 2023 <br />----------------------------- <br /> <br />The Council reviewed the 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and decided to move forward <br />with the 2024-2028 CIP as proposed. <br /> <br />11.4 Closing GRE Fund <br /> <br />Mr. Stremcha and Mr. Portner presented the staff report. <br /> <br />The Council decided to leave the GRE Reserve Fund as is for now to prevent the fund from getting <br />lost within other funds for the time being. There is no harm in keeping the fund open. They will look <br />at it again in the future. <br /> <br />11.5 Multipurpose Facility Budget <br /> <br />Mr. Stremcha and Mr. Dalton presented the staff report. <br /> <br />Councilmember Wagner stated that staff had answered most of her questions and she had a lot of the <br />same questions that the Council asked at the last meeting, which were answered. She expressed <br />concern regarding the budget and questioned the Unrecoverable Costs from the Senior Center. She <br />stated those rooms were for the Senior Center programming during the day. <br /> <br />Mr. Stremcha clarified and said that if the Senior Center is using a room for a program, then it cannot <br />be rented out and stated the Unrecoverable Costs is a way for us to capture all the costs of the Senior <br />Programming. <br /> <br />Mr. Portner stated that we are tracking it to find out where everything is over a period of time, then <br />we will develop a plan. <br /> <br />11.6 Advisory Board Attendance <br /> <br /> Mr. Portner presented the staff report. <br /> <br />The Council discussed having proxy voting members for the commission positions that have specific <br />representatives, such as a school representative or Chamber representative. The proxies will have to <br />be known to staff before the meeting. <br /> <br />Councilmember Wagner suggested having the staff liaison send calendar invitations to the members <br />on January 1 for the whole year. <br /> <br />The Council discussed the need for excused absences. The members need to let the staff liaison know <br />ahead of the meeting if they are going to be absent. <br /> <br />The Council decided to retro-excuse Dave Williams and Ryan Holmgren for their last excused <br />absences and reinstate both Kara Walker and Michelle Hegarty. <br /> <br />Staff will draft a policy and bring it back to the Council. <br /> <br />
