Council to schedule meeting on sanitation budget and equipment
Summary
Councilmembers agreed to schedule a meeting within the next month to discuss the sanitation budget and equipment; no budget increases were confirmed in the discussion and a follow-up meeting will precede the next finance and council meeting.
Councilmembers agreed to schedule a meeting within the next month to discuss the sanitation budget and equipment and related questions.
During closing business, Councilmember 3 asked whether the Utility Rate Review Commission had recommended an increase for sanitation. The exchange recorded: “Did did they recommend an increase for” (Councilmember 3). Councilmember 5 replied that he had not discussed that topic with the commission beyond what was in the packet and that sanitation typically goes to “health, safety, and sanitation.” Councilmember 5 then proposed scheduling a follow-up meeting: “Yeah. Well, we'll schedule a meeting within the next month or so to discuss that item then, Kathy. We'll do that. It doesn't seem like it'd be a long discussion. We'll do that prior to a finance and council meeting, if that's okay with you, Kathy.”
Discussion: The discussion did not record any specific proposed dollar increases or a formal recommendation concerning sanitation budget or equipment. Councilmember 5 indicated intent to convene a short meeting to review the item.
Direction: Staff (Kathy) was asked to accommodate scheduling a meeting to review the sanitation budget and equipment prior to the next finance and council meeting. No formal motion or vote was taken on budget changes during this exchange.
Next steps: A short committee/working meeting will be scheduled within the next month to discuss sanitation budget and equipment; the transcript does not record a date, participants beyond those in the exchange, or any budget figures.
