LACY, PRESIDING NOVEMBER 10, 2009 6:30 P.M. ROLL CALL Councilmember's Present: Councilmember Buckner, Councilmember Raab, Councilmember Bremmer, Councilmember Johnson, Councilmember Barnhart, Councilmember McCourt, Councilmember Hendricks, and Mayor Lacy. Staff Present: Dana Barnard, Catalina Garibay, Brandon Mauseth, Devin Poulson, and Nick Gerde. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE Mayor Lacy said with tomorrow being Veterans Day it is an important day, particularly this year with so much sacrifice going on in our State and Nationwide among service men and women. He said he would like to acknowledge the sacrifices made by Veterans of all branches of the armed forces. Eastmont Metropolitan Parks District Director, Dave Schwab, passed out Buddy Poppies. He said on behalf of the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 3617 he would like to ensure City Councilmembers are properly attired with a Buddy Poppy on Veterans Day. BUDGET ISSUES City Treasurer/Finance Director, Nick Gerde, said the Budget Committee met on November P to review all of the cost areas and determine the necessity for adjustments, some of which were made. They also reviewed and considered other areas of concern that had been brought up by Councilmembers since the Budget Workshop that was held on October 5a'. He said the Public Defender Contract for the Court has been settled. The original proposal of the Information Technology Department had been reviewed and they settled on a capital budget for 2010 which will extend into 2011. They discussed the expense of a piece of equipment for the Street Department and decided they would delay the expenditure and rent equipment rather than making that investment. Mr. Gerde said the revenue forecast for 2010 will go down by $37,200 and we will be increasing our cost over $680,000 in 2010. He reviewed the costs the City has to incur, such as Kentucky Annexation debt service, and choices the City can make, such as hiring a City Engineer. He said at the November 24`h Council meeting the City will hold a public hearing on the City's 2010 Budget. He added the Preliminary Budget is now available to the public. Councilmember Hendricks expressed concerns regarding the expenditures in the 2010 Budget compared to the 2009 Budget. He also questioned why the budget amounts have increased in the 2009 Budget without there being any budget amendments done this year. Mayor Lacy said that Councilmember Hendricks does raise a question in which he is not sure of the answer. Mayor Lacy asked Mr. Gerde if the City does require a budget amendment if we start out with one figure and end up with another figure in terms of total expenditures.
