She noted that she supports the rental housing inspector as it will be paid for out of the program fees. She stated that she wanted more justification of the requested building maintenance worker. She added that she is supportive of adding two of the four requested full time street maintenance workers. She added that she is also in support of the Public Works mechanic. She also shared her support for the fire hourly increase. City Administrator Hagen stated that at the last meeting the Council supported the bonding for equipment but requested a more detailed discussion on personnel and capital. Councimember Musgrove shared that her justification for the Streets and Parks workers was based on information that they got from the July 25 meeting. City Administrator Hagen noted that Administrative Services Director Lasher does have some updated figures on this information. Administrative Services Director Lasher gave an update on the information that she has been getting from other cities. She stated that the reason that they would not look to just increase the two Planning workers hours to 32 hours is because anything over 30 hours a week includes health insurance.
