quarters so it would give until July 1,°2022 to accomplish the second quarter goals. He stated Staff can look at them and make changes prior to bringing this back. Councilmember Howell referenced question 11 about multifamily housing and asked if it is correct that they decided to put it in and get more information for understanding. City Administrator Ulrich replied yes,the intent was to bring it back for more information on what the program was. Councilmember Howell referenced question 19 and read "consider local open space preservation funding if initiated by valid referendum." She stated she was unsure about keeping that in and preferred not to keep it in. Councilmember Woestehoff agreed because it hasn't been discussed very much. He stated if it stays in, he would request it be an agenda item for an upcoming Work Session. He finds it to be one that he knew the least about and that makes him nervous because it is a second quarter item and has a high budget impact. Mayor Pro Tem Riley asked Parks and Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood to address this. Parks and Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood replied he and Deputy City Administrator/Community Dev. Director Hagen had a chance to discuss it and he thought the recommendation would be that the narrative read "to be discussed at the 2023 Strategic Planning Session" so they can understand exactly what it means. He thought there were differing understandings and there wouldn't be time to put together a referendum. Mayor Pro Tem Riley asked how that should be handled. City Administrator Ulrich replied if it isn't ready to be addressed, it should be taken off altogether or consider the concept, have a low budget impact, and talk about raising a conversation in 2022 with a direction. He stated those would be the two options because it isn't ready for the ballot. Mayor Pro Tem Riley asked if Council wanted to make it a discussion item or put it in the parking lot for next year. Councilmember Woestehoff replied he would prefer to put it in the parking lot. There was Council consensus to put it in the parking lot for next year. Councilmember Musgrove referenced question 18 and asked if that needed to be reworded because she thought there was already a plan, which was the water treatment center. City Administrator Ulrich replied that is a good point. He stated the wording can be changed to read "commence construction of the water treatment plan in 2023."
