Councilmember Specht suggested if there is ever a time where they do not have any items on the <br />agenda, for them to add something to discuss. He added that he does not understand why the <br />approval of the agenda is so far down on the agenda and there are two items that are discussed, <br />Presentations and Citizen Input, that are discussed before the agenda. He suggested moving the <br />approval of the agenda to item 2. <br /> <br />Councilmember Woestehoff explained that Anoka does not even have agenda approval on their <br />agenda. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove stated that Elk River has an agenda similar to what Councilmember <br />Specht is suggesting where they approve the agenda before they have any public comment or <br />presentations. <br /> <br />Councilmember Olson said that does seem to make sense to approve the agenda earlier on in the <br />meeting. <br /> <br />Mayor Kuzma shared concern with moving the agenda approval above the presentations in the <br />case that the Council decides they do not want to hear a presentation that has already been posted <br />and someone is present to give the presentation. <br /> <br />Councilmember Specht said he is not sure if this would ever happen; however, the presentations <br />are a part of the agenda, so it makes more sense to approve the whole agenda before getting to <br />other items for presentation or discussion. <br /> <br />Councilmember Woestehoff explained that this was designed this way as presentations are not <br />meant to have input but are meant to only be received and no action needs to be taken. He noted <br />that the agenda items are the actual items that require action to be taken. <br /> <br />Mayor Kuzma said he is not in favor of moving the agenda approval above Presentations and <br />Citizen Input. <br /> <br />The consensus of the Council was to make the approval of minutes its own agenda item and remove <br />it from the Consent Agenda and to direct Staff to add language to the agenda before the Citizen <br />Input and Consent Agenda items with statements about these items. <br /> <br />2.05: Review 2023 Annual Comprehensive Finance Report, Management Report and <br />Special Purpose Report - Please Note: this case was moved from case 2.4 to case 2.5. <br /> <br />Finance Director Lund reviewed the Staff report in regard to the 2023 annual Comprehensive <br />Finance Report, Management Report, and Special Purpose Report. She introduced Aaron Nielson <br />from Malloy, Montague, Karnowski, Radosevich & Company (MMKR). <br /> <br />Mr. Nielson reviewed the results of the financial audit with the Council. <br /> <br />Councilmember Riley asked what happened with the sewer fund last year that the fund balance <br />went up, but it had an operating loss. <br />City Council Work Session / June 25, 2024 <br />Page 6 of 8 <br /> <br />
