At a glance: motions and procedural actions from the July 21 budget workshop
Summary
During the workshop council excused absent members, approved several procedural directions and adjourned after directing staff on study prioritization and utility and CIP follow‑ups; no ordinances were adopted at the session.
This workshop was primarily informational and directive; the formal recorded motions and votes were procedural.
- Early in the meeting the council moved and seconded a motion to excuse councilmembers Randy and Donetta; the motion carried with voice votes. (Roll call and individual names recorded in the minutes.)
- Council consented to reorder the agenda to hear the employee benefits presentation (3b) and the community‑center tour before the broader budget discussion (3a and 3c).
- On one‑time budget items, council directed staff to remove the facilities/staffing study from the FY27 one‑time requests and retain the compensation/classification study; staff said this reduces the proposed one‑time draw from fund balance by approximately $50,000.
- Council gave informal support for staff pursuing the three‑year utility rate plan as presented (water +7%, wastewater +11%, drainage +$1.75) but expressed interest in additional detail and alternatives; no rate ordinance was adopted.
- A motion to adjourn carried at the end of the workshop after a roll call vote; the meeting was closed and staff reminded council that presentation materials are available in the packet.
