Council Work Session-December 6th
This memo will serve as a summary of the items to be considered at the Monday,
December 6, 1999 work session. Please note that as a reminder the work session will
start at 5:00 p.m. as discussed at the work session of November 29, 1999.
The work session will open in closed session with council members and Mr. Bob
Benson of Sathe & Associates deliberating items regarding the City Manager's
performance review.
.
At 5:30 p.m., the Truth in Taxation hearing will be called to order. Today is
Wednesday and it is our goal to distribute the agenda packet to you today complete
with the revised budget and a myriad of tables and information supporting and
consolidating the budget documentation that you have been reviewing for the past
several months. Bruce has indicated that he is going to attempt to put together at
least a cursory Power Point presentation presenting, not only for your edification but
primarily for the public's edification, some of the intricacies of the Truth in Taxation
law, municipal fund accounting, and any other issues which may need further
clarification. It is expected that this presentation will help allay the concerns of those
in the audience who may have a specific concern about a particular piece of
information that they may have encountered. The Capital Plan will be forwarded to
you by Friday. We are attempting to get together with Rick to discuss the two "Rick"
issues in the plan. As you all have seen the Capital Plan many times as well, I felt it
was acceptable to get the Capital Plan to you by Friday.
Following the Truth in Taxation hearing, the council may give staff some direction
regarding modifications they wish to make, or as it is a public hearing, may simply
take public comment from the citizens regarding the hearing draft of the budget.
At 6:30 p.m., a discussion on TH 101 Improvement Project will be held. Roger
Gustafson, Carver County Engineer and the Hennepin County Engineer will be
present to participate in our discussion. Our City Engineer will be present and she is
working hard to gather several pieces of information that may help clarify the
council's options as it relates to Highway 101 and as it relates to the trail discussion
held last Monday.
As always, please call if you have any questions. Thank you.
