Call to Order Mayor Brian Stumpf called the special meeting to order at 5:45 p.m. 2. 2019 Budget Introduction Wayne Oberg, Finance Director, introduced budget discussion for 2019. He led the presentation with a projected schedule for the budget process, levy information and history, and potential budget impacts. The Council will set the preliminary levy on September 10 and the final levy on December 10. Mr. Oberg noted key items for discussion: the city's dependence on property taxes; personnel services; and capital assets and new debt needs. He suggested that projects/budget items be classified by priority — as imperative, essential, or important. Discussion ensued among City Council that included the possible decommission of Xcel and ways to make up for this revenue loss. There was also discussion on city spending and the fact that the city has been trying to catch up on items that were not completed in the past. Mr. Oberg suggested, for purposes of responsible spending, that the city tackle one or two projects at a time. 3. Adjournment By consensus the meeting was adjourned at 6:20 p.m. Recorder: Jennifer Schreiber Approved: �- Attest: City Administrator City Council Special Meeting Minutes —June 25, 2018
