5.1 Strategic Budget Planning Session.
Recommended Action: Provide staff strategic direction related to the preparation of the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 Budget.
Nicole Casey, Administrative Services Director, presented from the staff report (on file with the Town Clerk).
Council Discussion:
Should the Transit Occupancy Tax (TOT) be budget equal to the estimated actuals for these years?
The Police compensation comparable information will be available in the next couple weeks to help with Police negotiations.
There currently are available positions in the building department that have not been filed. o Detail on what we are doing in staffing to support core services at the budget review workshop.
o What is the job description and function for the diversity, equity, and inclusion position?
When the funding partners for micro transit are identified with funding amounts may be interested in funding the project fully rather than scaling down the project. Review the Accessory Dwelling Unit Grant and Loan program. Town should be planning on funding some of the initiatives stemming from the Donner Lake Stewardship study.
Look at trail amenities (doubling trash receptacles) and consider bathrooms, water fountains, and bike repair stations.

Summary of Council Direction:
Conceptually on board with staffing.
Generally, on board with the allocation of ARPA1 funding. Additional information of Donner Lake Preservation Stewardship Request for additional detail in the next budget workshop specifically on housing programs and funding.
Major Capital Improvement Project Priority Direction
Finish the study and design, then move the Third Tahoe Donner Connector to the bottom of the priority list.
o Staff will bring the prioritization discussion of this project after the environmental review is complete.
Postpone the Northwoods roundabout out further.
o Would like to keep it on the horizon to consider the impacts of idling vehicles.
Consider tired parking for high demand time or when micro transit is available. Consider prioritizing Jibboom Street (to Coburn Crossing), Church Street and Bridge Street streetscape for safety.
Envision DPR Streetscape, prioritizing this project in conjunction with the hospital master plan effort.
o Get some conceptual design completed to inform the hospital development project.
New item: downtown parking considers demand pricing – with the micro transit opportunity.
