Finance Director Lund asked if there was a percentage that they are looking at so she could tell <br />them what the amount would be. She does not believe that 5% is doable because of what has been <br />locked in with regard to the contracts. <br />Acting Mayor Riley said that he does not have a number right now and asked Council if they have <br />a number so that Finance Director Lund could look at some calculations of what that would mean. <br />Councilmember Howell asked what would be doable if the 5% is not doable. <br />Finance Director Lund asked if she meant the overall levy increase or the general fund. <br />Councilmember Howell said both. <br />Finance Director Lund said she thinks, with the debt that the Council has already locked in, outside <br />of the roads, just because they are already committed to that debt, this leaves the general fund and <br />she did not know what would be a good percentage. She suggested an 8-10% increase on the <br />general fund to start to see what that would look like. <br />Acting Mayor Riley asked if that seemed reasonable to give the Council options to see what these <br />numbers would look like. <br />Councilmember Howell said that a lot of the requests look like necessities so that makes it difficult <br />and there is not much that can be cut. <br />Acting Mayor Riley asked Finance Director Lund to work out numbers with the 8-10% increase. <br />Finance Director Lund said that she will do an 8% increase all the way up to a 13% increase to see <br />what the different numbers represent. <br />3.01: Review Future Topics/ Calendar <br />Noted. <br />4.
