Ms. Malecha explained she and Sergeant <br /> Turcotte discussed where the reductions could be made without causing <br /> an impact. Ms. Malecha added there is a healthy fund balance to help pay <br /> for the unplanned expenses. <br /> Council Member Pederson expressed his concern with losing more police <br /> contracts and suggested, in the future, the City look into the possibility of <br /> sharing police vehicles and not allowing police officers to bring the police <br /> vehicles home. Ms. Malecha explained that if the City was to lose another <br /> police contract then the Council would be approached at that time to <br /> amend the budget. <br /> COUNCIL MEMBER SWANSON MOVED TO ACCEPT THE <br /> PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE 2018 PRELIMINARY BUDGET AND <br /> DIRECTS STAFF TO PRESENT THIS UPDATED INFORMATION AT <br /> THE DECEMBER 5T" TRUTH IN TAXATION COUNCIL MEETING. <br /> COUNCIL MEMBER AKERSON SECONDED THE MOTION. <br /> MOTION CARRIED 5-0. <br /> Mayor Adams requested clarification on the discussion that took place at <br /> the last City Council meeting regarding Wildlife Trail and North Sluetter <br /> Road. Mayor Adams noted that Wildlife Trail is a private road and if the <br /> City was to make it a City street then any improvements would be paid for <br /> by the City. Council Member Pederson added that the City may have to <br /> start assessing property owners for street improvements since it would be <br /> adding value to their property. <br /> Nancy Malecha indicated that she received an email from Michael Czech <br /> stating that he and Maury Graham are working on an assessment solution <br /> for North Sluetter Road and Wildlife Trail and asked the Council how they <br /> would like her to respond. <br /> The consensus of the Council agreed to have Mr. Graham and Mr. Czech <br /> continue working on their solution to present to the Council for future <br /> discussion. <br /> 4.
