Councihncmber Strommen suggested a policy change to state that excess revenues for 2005 go <br />towards the municipal facility for one year. <br /> <br />Councihnember Cook expressed concern with funding being withheld from the Park and <br />Recreation Department. He stated he would be more in favor of changing the policy for the <br />landfill fund, with an amortization that would require tax revenue to repay the fund. He stressed <br />1he need for roadwork and park funds to be included in the general fund. <br /> <br />Counci hnember Elvig commented a sewer and water fund should also be looked into. He stated <br />the bottom line is if good planning is done there are about four funds that could be looked at to <br />t'unnc] rinds into the improvements. <br /> <br />Councilmember Jeffrey stressed the need to look at all of the scenarios so services to the <br />residents are not shorted. He requested a Council review of how scenarios impact cun'ent <br />services and how they might impact services over the years. <br /> <br />Comprehensive Plan Process/Planning Commission Communication <br /> <br />Community Development Director Trudgeon distributed a revised draft letter for the <br />Comprehensive Plan Process/Planning Commission communication, based on Council <br />discussion. He explained staff would recommend comprehensive plan amendments be done in <br />co~.iunction with a preliminary plat.

Staff should inform Chairperson Nixt and Co- <br />Chairperson Johnson about the policy prior to the Planning Commission meeting. <br /> <br />Councilmcmber Elvig indicated he and Councilmember Cook have received calls from a couple <br />o t~ rcsidcms that are concerned about any road surfacing being done in the area of Garnet Street in <br />thc near future.
