Council delays changes to public‑safety fee, will revisit after May election
Summary
Finance Director Tammy Trowbridge recommended taking no action now on a proposed public‑safety fee and re-evaluating after the May election; the council voted to leave the fee unchanged.
The council voted to take no action on proposed changes to the city’s public‑safety fee and to re‑evaluate the fee after the May election. Tammy Trowbridge, the city’s finance director, presented the packet and PowerPoint from the prior meeting and said staff’s suggested motion was to "take no action and leave it as it stands, reevaluate after the May election" because timing and possible election outcomes made immediate changes impractical.
In discussion councilors said waiting for post‑election clarity was prudent; one councilor added that current numbers suggested limited fiscal flexibility if the fee were changed. The motion to hold off on adjustments passed by voice vote.
