City Administrator Hagen shared that if they do receive an application for this, they would put it on the first available Work Session. Councilmember Musgrove asked about the two applications that were submitted and then withdrawn. She asked if they withdrew their applications as they were interested in the EDA and there was no opening. Administrative Services Director Lasher explained that the applicants did not know that they only had one partial term on the EPB open. She added that these applications came in at the end of 2023. Councilmember Musgrove asked if these applications will stay on file. Administrative Services Director Lasher said she will have to refer back to policy on this. She said she believes the applications will be pulled from the file. The consensus of the Council was to reappoint Rachal Johnson to the EDA, Michael Heifner, Thomas Hagerty, and Hassan Salami to the EPB, Megen Ealain to the Parks and Recreation Commission, and Bruce Anderson to the Planning Commission. 2.03: Strategic Planning Session City Administrator Hagen reviewed the Staff report in regard to finalizing the Strategic Plan. He shared that the Strategic Plan covers a lot of areas that are ongoing that they will continue to work on from year to year. He said there was not any one suggestion for a bigger project that came up to put on the list,outside of the email communication that the Council received from Dustin Reeder today concerning the pedestrian overpass over Highway 10. He added that there has been some movement via third parties at the legislature to introduce a bonding bill for proceeds to construct this project. Councilmember Specht said if someone else wants to pay for this project then that is fine with him; however, he does not think they should invest City money into this as he does not see the need. Councilmember Musgrove said she was not aware of any email that went out so she would have to reserve any comments until she has had time to review the information. City Administrator Hagen said they could try to seek funding for this. Councilmember Riley added that he would not want to see this move forward at all without the athletic building across the road. He said he has consistently been against this because it would not go anywhere right now. Councilmember Howell concurred. City Council Work Session /March 19, 2024 Page 11 of 17
