Mayor LeTourneau stated that he can appreciate that, but acknowledged that starting collection in <br />October would accumulate the funds sooner. <br />Councilmember Heinrich stated that she will not provide input on the date as she does not support <br />franchise fees. <br />Councilmember Musgrove stated that while she does not support the franchise fee, she would want <br />the language to be as clear as possible. She asked if a clause could be added related to yearly <br />reviews of the amounts collected, used and remaining as a balance. <br />Mayor LeTourneau confirmed that information would be available for review at any time but <br />agreed that language could be included. <br />Councilmember Specht stated that he did not have a preference on a start date. <br />Councilmember Kuzma commented that the sooner it starts, the sooner roads can be fixed. <br />Councilmember Menth agreed that collection should begin in October so that roads can be repaired <br />sooner. <br />Mayor LeTourneau confirmed the consensus to begin collection in October. <br />Councilmember Riley asked for input related to rebates and noted that perhaps staff should bring <br />back a few options for the Council to review. <br />Finance Director Lund provided the situation where someone paid the full assessment but moved <br />out of the home and asked whether the rebate would stay with the property. <br />Councilmember Riley stated that he would fall under that scenario, so he did not want to provide <br />input. <br />Councilmember Kuzma stated that he would prefer for the rebate to stay with the homeowner. <br />Mayor LeTourneau agreed that the new homeowner should not receive the rebate. He confirmed <br />the consensus of the Council with that decision. <br />Councilmember Heinrich stated that she does not agree with a rebate being offered as the <br />assessment program was the road financing option for those five years. <br />2.02: Continue Discussion Regarding City Events and Staffing <br />No comments made. <br />2.03: City of Ramsey Adopt -A -Flag Program Update <br />No comments made. <br />City Council Work Session / June 9, 2020 <br />Page 4 of 5 <br />
