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 />
