<br />Councilmember Howell asked if paying for the training will make Ramsey more competitive with <br />neighboring cities. <br /> <br />City Administrator Hagen said it should help from the initial recruitment aspect as in the past they <br />have turned away applicants who did not have a CDL. <br /> <br />Administrative Services Director Lasher added this levels the playing field with the other cities. <br /> <br />There was a consensus of the Council. <br /> <br />2.03: Review of 2023-2032 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) <br /> <br />Finance Director Lund reviewed the 10 year plan for the upcoming projects, such as the water <br />treatment plant, the community center, and the pavement management. She added a public hearing <br />will be held on this document. <br /> <br />Councilmember Specht asked if the money bonded for is taken into account. <br /> <br />Finance Director Lund said it is reflected under the bonding amount. <br /> <br />Acting Mayor Riley asked if the community center should be moved out as there is not really a <br />plan surrounding it. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove agreed that it should be kept on but moved out to 2032. <br /> <br />Acting Mayor Riley commented that there was a new aerial truck on the list at $900,000 which <br />seems less than he thought it would be. He asked if this was the right number. <br /> <br />Finance Director Lund said this was the number she received. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove asked about the vehicle costs that are staggered out over a few different <br />years. She said that over time she would think the cost would go up. <br /> <br />Finance Director Lund said there will be an inflationary amount added. She said if it goes on the <br />property tax levy it goes on a prospective year and if it is an equipment certificate it will go three <br />years out. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove asked about the capital maintenance fund running a negative number <br />projected for this year while things are still being budgeted on it. She asked if any increased <br />revenues were projected in that fund. <br /> <br />Finance Director Lund said this is one of the funds that receives the excess revenue transfer if there <br />is any. <br /> <br />City Council Work Session / October 25, 2022 <br />Page 5 of 10 <br /> <br />
