Mayor LeTourneau stated that a stipend could be used for other expenses outside of babysitting. <br /> He explained that the stipend was determined by Council resolution for any incidental expenses <br /> that may occur as a result of a member of a Board or Commission attending a meeting. <br /> Administrative Services Director Lasher confirmed that the stipend was developed to cover <br /> expenses that may occur for someone to attend the meeting, such as babysitting, gasoline, or any <br /> other expense of that nature. She reviewed the definition of stipend. <br /> City Administrator Ulrich stated that staff can review the stipend language with legal counsel <br /> and report back to Council. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove stated that her intent was not to take away that stipend from the <br /> Boards and Commissions but rather if the language should be clarified. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove thanked Councilmember Menth, who will be stepping up as the <br /> liaison for the EPB as she was having difficulty making the 6:30 p.m. start time. <br /> Councilmember Menth noted that he has six appointments and asked if any other <br /> Councilmembers would like to take any of those appointments. <br /> Councilmember Specht stated that he would be interested in serving on the Highway 10 <br /> Committee if any of those members would like a break. He stated that he would serve as the <br /> liaison to Youth First. <br /> Councilmember Heinrich stated that she enjoys serving on the Highway 10 Committee and <br /> would like to continue her position. <br /> Councilmember Kuzma stated that he would like to remove Item 19, Resolution #20-013, from <br /> the Consent Agenda on tonight's regular meeting agenda for additional discussion. <br /> Mayor LeTourneau confirmed the consensus of the Council to have liaisons to the Park and <br /> Planning Commissions. <br /> 2.02: Fire Service Joint Powers Agreement Update <br /> City Administrator Ulrich reviewed the staff report. <br /> Councilmember Kuzma asked if Ramsey currently receives $6,400 per year in addition to truck <br /> fees. <br /> City Administrator Ulrich explained that Ramsey is supposed to receive $6,400 in administrative <br /> fees but after the truck fees are calculated Ramsey ultimately pays Nowthen $4,800 per year. <br /> Mayor LeTourneau stated that it sounds like Nowthen has moved forward with a proposal to <br /> terminate the contract in one year, paying Ramsey $6,400 and waiving the truck fees for that <br /> one-year period. <br /> City Council Work Session/January 14,2020 <br /> Page 4 of 7 <br />
