Motion by Councilmember Riley, seconded by Councilmember Johns, to close the public <br />hearing. <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor LeTourneau, Councilmembers Riley, Johns, Kuzma, <br />Musgrove, and Shryock. Voting No: None. <br />The public hearing was closed at 7:56 p.m. <br />Council Business <br />Councilmember Johns stated that she loves the document, as it is such a good planning tool that <br />allows the City to layout strategic items. She stated that the addition of prioritizing items from <br />the previous year made the document much more user friendly. She acknowledged the amount <br />of work from staff that is needed to create and keep this document updated. <br />Councilmember Riley stated that he is opposed to the water treatment facility found in the years <br />2027 and 2028. He noted that there is not a study that states the City will need that and the City <br />is also currently looking at a surface water treatment facility. He noted that the City is also part <br />of a study that states that because of conservation efforts that treatment facility may not be <br />needed. <br />Motion by Councilmember Riley, seconded by Councilmember Musgrove, to Adopt Resolution <br />#18-257 Adopting the 2018-2027 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), with the removal of the water <br />treatment facility removed from 2027 and 2028. <br />Further discussion: Councilmember Shryock stated that the CIP is simply a planning document <br />and by keeping those items as placeholders in the future it reminds the City of the things that <br />may be needed in the future. She acknowledged that the City is taking part in studies and <br />perhaps when the results of those studies are known the item could be removed, but until then <br />would feel more comfortable keeping that item included on the CIP. Councilmember Kuzma <br />stated that he likes to have options, and this is simply a planning document. He noted that there <br />is a possibility that the City may not be able to dig more wells, and would then have a shortage <br />and should therefore continue to have the item in the CIP until additional information is known. <br />Motion failed. Voting Yes: Councilmembers Riley, and Musgrove. Voting No: Mayor <br />LeTourneau, Councilmembers Johns, Kuzma, and Shryock. <br />Motion by Councilmember Johns, seconded by Councilmember Shryock, to Adopt Resolution <br />#18-257 Adopting the 2018-2027 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). <br />Further discussion: Mayor LeTourneau stated that it is important to have options and currently <br />the City does not have the information it would need to make the decision on whether that <br />facility would be needed in the future. <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor LeTourneau, Councilmembers Johns, Shryock, and Kuzma. <br />Voting No: Councilmembers Riley and Musgrove. <br />City Council / December 11, 2018 <br />Page 8 of 18 <br />
