Parks and Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood provided additional details on the <br /> State contract. <br /> City Administrator Ulrich noted that the State contract is typically the best price. He noted that <br /> staff can always look outside for pricing details as well. <br /> Parks and Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood stated that perhaps at a future <br /> worksession there could be a short presentation on the maintenance tracking system that is used <br /> to determine the expected lifespan of equipment. <br /> Finance Director Lund stated that she would need input on the option that the Council is <br /> comfortable with moving forward. <br /> Councilmember Riley stated that he would want to see the PIR used for the road improvements. <br /> He stated that he liked that the report included option three, highlighting what it would look like <br /> to place road financing on the general fund, which equates to an 18 percent tax increase. <br /> Councilmember Heinrich stated that she would support option two, which uses PIR funds. <br /> Councilmember Kuzma stated that preliminarily he would support option two with use of the _ <br /> PIR fund. He noted that some things will depend on the franchise fee and how that will move <br /> forward. <br /> Councilmember Riley stated that he is not willing to start with an eight percent increase. He <br /> stated that he would support six percent. <br /> Councilmember Heinrich stated that she would like to see that percentage decrease further from <br /> the options provided, which will lead to tough decision making. <br /> Mayor LeTourneau stated that it appears there will need to be another discussion for the Council <br /> to decide where to make cuts. <br /> Councilmember Kuzma asked what would happen if there is a deadlock on the decision. <br /> Finance Director Lund confirmed that the budget would revert to the last approved budget, but <br /> the City would still be liable for the contracted increases, which would then need to be taken <br /> from other line items. <br /> 3.
