City Administrator Ulrich stated the City still has the opportunity to control the message through <br /> its newsletter and QCTV and should address the position of Connexus, which may send out a <br /> postcard ahead of the Communication Plan. <br /> The Council briefly discussed the anticipated action by Connexus to communicate with residents <br /> that they are not responsible for or imposing the franchise fee. Suggestions were offered to <br /> include in the FAQs that the City is responsible for the franchise fee and residents should <br /> anticipate receiving a postcard from Connexus. <br /> 2) 2012 - 2016 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) <br /> Finance Officer Lund presented the 2012 -2016 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and advised <br /> of the Charter requirement to hold a public hearing. <br /> Mayor Ramsey stated for the record that inclusion of a project in the CIP does not mean he <br /> would approve of the project. <br /> Councilmember Tossey agreed and stated he has heard people say something should move <br /> forward because it is in the CIP; however, this is not a binding document, but a wish list. <br /> Councilmember Elvig stated he makes the same comment every year to not justify a project just <br /> because it has been in the CIP forever. <br /> Public Works Director Olson explained the purpose of the CIP is to make sure that something is <br /> not missed that Council wants included, especially in the next few. years. In addition, staff <br /> attempts to concentrate on funding sources for the next two years of projects to equalize the load. <br /> Mayor Ramsey suggested that at the end of the year the Council review what is to be funded for <br /> the following year. <br /> City Administrator Ulrich asked if the Council would like to review projects at a certain dollar <br /> threshold. <br /> Councilmember Elvig noted in the past the Council has directed Public Works to bring forward <br /> anything that is urgent or likely necessary. In that effort, the Council is able to prioritize the <br /> items. <br /> Finance Officer Lund advised that the next Consent Agenda will contain an item to schedule the <br /> 2012 -2016 CIP public hearing on December 13, 2011. <br /> Following discussion, Council consensus was reached to review all projects over $50,000 by the <br /> end of February. <br /> City Council Work Session / November 15, 2011 <br /> Page 7 of 9 <br />
