City Council Minutes <br />August 11, 2009 <br />Page 3 of 10 <br />---------------------- - - - - -- <br />see a further reduction. Council Member Nagel stated that we are in <br />the middle of the budget year and it would be hard to cut deeper <br />without knowing where we will be at the end of the 2009 budget. <br />Council Member Ryan stated that there is a downward trend in <br />permits and that we should see a larger reduction in the budget than <br />$4,200. Dawn explained that there is a lower level of services available <br />but she was not sure if that would be the best plan for our situation. <br />Council Member Ryan stated he is opposed to prepaying for services <br />and that he would rather see a little more activity prior to paying more <br />for Community Growth's level of service. <br />It was the consensus of the Council, with the exception of Council <br />Member Ryan, to maintain at the existing proposed level of service for <br />2010. It was the consensus of all Council Members to review the <br />proposal submitted by Community Growth to see if it meets the City's <br />needs taking into consideration the downward trend in permits and <br />the carryover amounts from 2008 and 2009. <br />• E911 Address Fee <br />Budget presented by Dawn Bittner.
