Further discussion: Councilmember Musgrove stated that she understands the need to update the sign, especially after the accident, but is torn on the issue as these funds could possibly be used for the public works facility. City Administrator Ulrich stated that the fund is flexible in its use for public facilities including signs, park buildings, and parks facilities. City Administrator Ulrich stated that the public works facility will be funded by the enterprise fund reserves and debt. He noted that the Council will need to consider at what level they would like to maintain and repair signage. He stated that branding and imaging ranked highly in the Strategic Plan and this is an implementation item for that task. Councilmember Heinrich asked if the signs could be separated into two cases if needed. Councilmember Kuzma stated that it has always been his understanding that the facilities fund has always been used for maintenance and this is a maintenance task. Community Development Director Gladhill noted that separate motions could be done if desired. Councilmember Musgrove noted that she would support this action if the remaining funds could be considered for the public works garage. City Administrator Ulrich confirmed that the remaining funds in the account could be considered for that purpose. Motion carried.

Voting No: None. 7.05: Discuss Options for Spending Remaining Budget for 2019 Crackseal and Sealcoat Improvements City Engineer Westby reviewed the staff report and recommendation to select options two and three which would have an estimated cost of $62,000. Based on the Engineer's estimate of $267,929,82 for the 2019 Cracksealing Improvements, this would result in spending about $330,000 of the $500,000 budgeted for 2019. This leaves about $170,000 unspent, which could be applied to 2020 crackseal and sealcoat improvements, assuming the City continues the sealcoat program in 2020. Councilmember Heinrich asked for clarification on whether the City has a trailer that is utilized for the hot mix. City Council/July 9,2019 Page 8of13
