<br /> <br />City Council Minutes <br />August 5, 2024 <br />--------- <br />Page 7 of 7 <br />end of the day, it doesn't seem like anybody will be happy with whatever it is. We want kids to be able <br />to participate and that is the goal of every sport. <br /> <br />Councilmember Beyer confirmed the 2025 budget is being worked on and asked what rates were used <br />for the budget projections. Mr. Stremcha answered saying they used the rough figures the staff <br />reviewed from the June 17, 2024, City Council Meeting. <br /> <br />Councilmember Westgaard asked if we could run the budget with revenue projections of the current <br />rental rates with the expenditure corrections they are planning to implement for 2025 to see how far <br />off it would be from a balanced budget. Councilmember Beyer agreed that would be the ideal thing to <br />do, then we could understand what the rates would have to be to accomplish a balanced budget. <br /> <br />Mayor Dietz asked when would the budget be done. Mr. Stremcha answered that they could present <br />the budget draft at the next Council meeting, but expenses were going to be discussed at the next <br />commission meeting on August 12. <br /> <br />Mr. Portner suggested staff could plug in the existing revenues that we have projected for this year for <br />next year as a starting point. Some variables make turf rentals hard to project, such as weather changes, <br />so that projection is tough. We increased ice sales this year and believe we can make more on <br />concessions sales. <br /> <br />The Council discussed that the naming rights funds would not be used for operational costs. <br /> <br />Mr. Portner asked the Council what other information staff can prepare for the Council this week to <br />help prepare for the next meeting. It was decided to have staff prepare a year-to-date Furniture and <br />Things Community Event Center budget for the next meeting. <br /> <br />It was decided to have the Multipurpose Facility Advisory Commission join the council budget meeting <br />on Monday, August 12, and then hold their regular meeting immediately after at City Hall. <br /> <br />Moved by Councilmember Beyer and seconded by Councilmember Grupa to adjourn the <br />meeting of the City Council. Motion Carried 5-0. <br /> <br />The meeting adjourned at 08:50 p.m. <br /> <br />Minutes prepared by Jolene Richter. <br /> <br />12.
