Resolution Awarding Shared Ride Taxi Service Contract Motion made by Brooke Bauman and seconded by Mickey Beam to award the shared ride taxi service contract and public lease transit agreement for years 2020-2021 with the option of extending to 2024 to Brown Cab Service, Inc. On a roll call vote, Motion Passed. 2. Resolution approving Weights and Measures Motion made by Brooke Bauman and seconded by Richard Thoman to approve the presented weights and measures assessment schedule. On a roll call vote, Motion Passed. 3. City Administrator Job Description Review and Plan of Action for Filling the Position Discussion held regarding the expectations and job responsibilities of the future City Administrator. The current job description lacks detail regarding duties related to economic development, community development and comptroller. Comptroller is a statutory position and currently Bauman Associates fills that role, however there are alternative options to fulfill this role if desired. Questions posed to Karla Fritsch, deputy comptroller, regarding the responsibilities the former City Administrator had as Comptroller that are now falling onto other staff members. A primary responsibility includes managing and developing the budget. Previously the role of economic and community development fell onto other positions and staff. There is not a current person fulfilling that role, or a formally approved position. There was previous recruitment for a Director of Community Development, however the position itself was not formally approved prior to recruitment. A general consensus was reached that the Council is unable to make a decision regarding the job description, expectations and salary range of the future City Administrator without discussing related roles, such as the Director of Community Development. Therefore, the Council agreed to revisit the discussion after further investigation and setting an agenda item to discuss the City Administrator position, as well as other related positions. Alder Bauman advised there is a sense of urgency to fill the City Administrator position to be fair to the department heads, Alders, and the community. Therefore, she encourages discussion and a decision in regards to the method the Council desires for recruitment of a future City Administrator. The previous City Administrator vacancy was filled with a headhunter, who assisted with the development of the job description and recruitment. Alder Boyce recommends proceeding with a similar process. General consensus reached to review the job description and other related positions in two weeks. During the next two weeks, the Council will begin to the process to secure a headhunter for recruitment purposes. 4. Resolution Approving Amendment to the 2019 Budget The amendment resolution would approve an increase in 2019 expenditures by moving $100,000 from the General Fund to the Capital Fund. Motion made by Richard Thoman and seconded by Brooke Bauman to approve amendment to the 2019 budget to increase the 2019 expenditures by $100,000. On a roll call vote, Motion Passed. 5. Resolution Adopting 2020 Budget, Levying Taxes, and Approving Appropriations (Hold Public Hearing) No speakers present for the public hearing. Attorney Bartholf reviewed this would be approving the budget at the general government level, to allow the City to move funds within the same category, without having to return to Council for approval. Alder Bauman acknowledged how this budget approval process was a great improvement this year compared to previous years. There continues to be money put into capital funds, improving the City's financial stability. Mayor Armstrong reviewed other expenses that will be presented in the near future, including an increase in the Shared Ride Taxi Cab funding and tree services for Ash Borer in Greenwood Cemetery. He suggests considering placing $50,000 to a contingency fund to allow for payment of the future expenditures not accounted for in the budget. Discussion held regarding the approval for expenditures from the contingency fund would fall either to the Mayor, Council or Finance and Taxation Committee. Alder Boyce advised the Council there is risk of spending more than the expenditure restraint program (ERP) allows by placing money in a contingency fund, or reallocating the expenditures to other departments. If the ERP is exceeded in 2020, there is risk of losing up to $300,000 in funds. Alder Boyce recommends approving the budget as presented, and finding funds through a potential surplus or reallocation of funds over the next 12 months, rather than risking overspending and losing the ERP. Karla Fritsch, deputy comptroller, also advised there are investment accounts reaching maturity in the near future that will allow for funds to be applied to necessary expenditures or reinvested. Motion made by Richard Thoman and seconded by Joshua Binger to adopt the 2020 budget, levying taxes, and appropriations as presented. On a roll call vote, Motion Passed. I. BUSINESS PRESENTED BY ALDERPERSONS None. J. BUSINESS PRESENTED BY DEPARTMENT HEADS None. K. BUSINESS PRESENTED BY THE PRESS None. L. ADJOURNMENT Motion made by Richard Thoman and seconded by Brooke Bauman to adjourn. On a roll call vote, Motion Passed. (December 4, 2019) WNAXLP
