City Council Agenda Staff Report
City Manager Review: SW
Council Agenda Item No.: 6
To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Scott Wolfe, City Manager
Meeting Date: September 26, 2024
Subject: Discussion of City Council Fiscal Priorities
______________________________________________________________________________
BACKGROUND
Councilmember Hornick raised a question regarding having the City Council evaluate its planned large expenditures to ensure that the Council was fully informed of decisions that are made with regard to the approval of large expenditures or the creation of new programs with large costs. In response to direction by City Council consensus, staff brings before the Council a discussion of Fiscal Priorities.
A list of anticipated expenditures (in no particular order) accompanies this report as Attachment 1. This list represents upcoming budget adjustments, project expenditures, and programs or projects requested by the City Council which have not been placed in the budget at this time. Some of these items have been identified as official City Council priorities, while others have been identified as “wish list” items that may not have costs associated with them at this time. Those costs which are shown are largely estimates, with an attempt being made by staff to indicate a level of magnitude rather than specify a cost, because in most cases costs have not been calculated, and in those instances where they have, the recent inflationary period and volatility in prices of material and labor makes any attempt at establishing a cost futile unless a recent bid or proposal is used. (The Public Works director has been out of the office at the writing of this report. She will be consulted upon her return, and any updates to these estimates will be noted during the verbal report of this item.) These “rough” cost estimates total about $10,500,000. While this does not reflect the costs of actions approved by the City Council, it does point to the need to begin to review what programs/projects are being considered for implementation in the near term.
The City Council should evaluate this list, and determine what action is appropriate. Staff understands the intent of Councilmember Hornick to be that this list is used to establish spending priorities. The City Council should add any additional projects/programs to be included on this list during the discussion. The Council may choose to establish priorities for these projects, or may simply decide to use this list as a tool to be aware of potential future expenditures based upon City Council requests. Staff will maintain and utilize the list as directed by the City Council to aid in its future planning.
