City Administrator Ulrich stated that the shoefly option has almost been eliminated because of <br />the additional costs. He stated that the City did already purchase a site for the new public works <br />campus. <br />Mayor LeTourneau asked whether now is the time to address this issue. <br />Councilmember Kuzma stated that in the past he has been against moving forward on the project <br />because he was unsure how the project could be funded. He explained that in the last year his <br />understanding has changed on why this is needed for the growing community. He stated that he <br />would be interested in moving forward to identify the best alternative for financing. <br />Councilmember Heinrich thanked Public Works Superintendent Reimer for taking her on two <br />tours of the public works building and explaining the needs. She agreed that this should be <br />planned for. She stated that she would support looking into the funding options for this to move <br />forward. <br />Councilmember Shryock stated that she agrees that this should move forward and would agree <br />that staff should investigate other financing options that could change the burden on bonding. <br />Councilmember Riley stated that he would also be interested in using the money the City has as <br />well. He stated that he appreciates the options being considered but stated that an interest only <br />loan is typically only chosen when someone cannot afford something. He stated that he would <br />be interested in utilizing the landfill fund. <br />Councilmember Musgrove agreed that having the office in the trailer is not the safest option and <br />public works is running out of space. She liked the idea of staff being creative in funding. <br />Mayor LeTourneau confirmed the consensus of the Council to continue to move forward with <br />direction for staff to continue to investigate options for financing.
