Finance, Budget & Personnel Committee 3 17 2026

budget and personnel committee to order on March 17, 2026 at 5:15. Are there any ident uh potential conflicts of interest? Seeing none, uh item three, citizens comments.

Do we have any citizens comments for tonight? When you get to the podium, if you can state your name and address for the record. My name is Donna Hastrider.

My address is 1708 South Balboa Avenue in Marshfield. Um I'd like to speak on behalf of the Marshfield Civic Band. Uh it's come to our attention that um we have a couple of rooms at the Oak Avenue Community Center that we store our music and extra band instruments and whatnot in.

Um and we've been doing this ever since I've been involved in the band, which has been since the 80s. Um and now I'm told that the city wants to charge us $1,700 to use that space. Um several years ago, well actually for years the band has been given a stipen by the city.

Several years ago that was cancelled due to budget constraints. We understood that. Uh we just rolled with it.

Uh but now the city wants to charge us for providing a pre free service for the city. Um and I I just have a problem with that. I guess uh the city band has been in existence for 131 years um under Marshfield Civic Band name since 1961 providing eight free concerts for the community.

Um, and we have done other things like if you go back in the history of Dairyfest, it used to be a Saturday only event and the Marshfield City Band said, "Hey, maybe we could do something on Friday night as an introduction to the event. " And so the whole picnic in the park started with the city band doing a free concert. And then the next year they said, "Hey, let's let's try to make it a little bigger.

" So some other people had picnic baskets and whatnot. And it just over the years has turned into what it has today, which I think is a fairly good draw for the city. Um I know in the 80s the Anheiser Bush Clydesales came to town and the city, I believe it was the city, asked the band to play down at the fairgrounds and we did that, you know.

I mean, so the band is there that, you know, you can ask us to perform if you've got a special event. Um, the thing that really bothered me was in the paper I read that the city is providing $20,000 to provide bands to play at Wel Plaza for eight concerts. That's you're paying out $2,500 a concert and you want to charge usund let's see $194.

40 a concert just to perform for you and so if it's all possible I would like it if we could just use our space for free. Thank you. Thank you Donna.

Any other citizens comments? Randy Astra, 1708 South Ball Avenue, Marshall, Wisconsin. I am a Marshall Civic member since 1978.

I've played for this band for a very long time. We've done things like playing at the library for Crazy Days or Mad Market Days, whatever you want to call it. um for June dairy days and other events that have happened when we've had a special band that came in.

Um I remember one where we had an army band that came and played with us on Wednesday concert. We've done the uh Souza concert up at the university for people. Um and all that is done no charge.

We've asked for donations. the donations buy new music and give a sp a stipen to the musicians. But when you think about what a musician makes and obviously with the 20,000 you're spending for these different groups to come in in the plaza, can you imagine us musicians, 50 plus of us that are coming in and playing for nothing that have spent their whole lives playing.

And like I said, I I played it for a very long time and there's others the same. and yet we have to pay to do that for the city. I don't think that's really right.

I would like you to guys consider maybe scrapping the charge of that $1,700 since we're not I mean we didn't come out and beg for that $5,000 that you took away from us. We would appreciate it, but we understand that you had a but budget crunch and we let that go. So again, we're just asking for you to consider maybe not charging us for that storage.

Thank you, Randy. Any other citizens comments? The microphone Oh, they turned it off.

Okay. So, my name is Donna Roser. I live at 7-Eleven West Blit Street.

I am in Marshfield. I am a huge supporter of the Civic Band and I understand about revenue generation and I just want you to think about what the what the benefit to this community, the the community band is. I know that things cost money, but you've got an organization that is willing to spend hours providing a service to this community.

And I think that that should be taken into consideration when you think about supporting that community band. Um, I guess I don't totally um object to charging something, but maybe think about what that is because the band provides a huge benefit. And I know uh Donna and Randy spoke uh eloquently about what those benefits are over the years.

Uh if you've never been to the band concert at Columbia Park, it's just a wonderful thing. The the band has grown. People come from a long way away to participate in that band.

And I just would like for any fee that you charge, if not zero, uh as reasonable as possible. Volunteers participate in the community band and it's run by a lot of dollars from the community and so those dollars are supposed to go to buying music and supporting the band members that drive a great distance to participate. Um, so while I understand the need for revenue generation, think about what this ban provides to this community free of charge and take that into consideration.

Thank you. Thank you, Donna. Any other citizens comments?

Seeing none, item four, consent agenda, minutes of the March 3rd, 2026 meeting, bills and payroll. Motion to ex do I have a motion to accept? Yeah.

Move to approve. I'll second that. And we have a motion and a second.

Any discussion? Seeing none, all those in favor say I. I.

I. Any opposed say nay. Seeing none, motion carries.

Item six, request to authorize expenditure of up to a maximum of $57,000 in payment to a contractor for assistance in the ongoing emergency snow removal operation presented by Steve Bar, city administrator. Thank you. Well, we're coming on the back end hopefully of one of the most historic snowfalls I think we've seen in a long time.

Hopefully, uh we won't see it again for a very long time. 26 ines fell in our community over a 3-day period. And as a result of that, we're still dealing with a lot of work of cleanup and trying to get everything back the way it belongs.

First, I want to commend our our street crew, which has done an amazing job. I know periodically the complaints from people say, "Hey, why is my street plowed more timely? " But, uh, what they've done is just outstanding in terms of trying to keep the main thoroughares open and and be able to do the the highest priority jobs.

That said, there's a lot of work has to be done and there's a lot of snow to be removed from various places. So, uh, in an attempt to try and be as customer service focused as we can be, we're looking to get some outside help to haul snow away. A lot of it from the downtown area and other places where we just simply don't have any place to put it.

We don't have the personnel to get it there. So, in this emergency, we're looking for u the opportunity to have up to three days, three 18 hour days at maximum from a trucking company that would haul it out of town for us. uh they'd work potentially three 18 hour shifts uh today, tomorrow, and Thursday.

Uh I'm understanding from what Tim Rasmusen, our street superintendent, is telling me that today they've already cut that back. Tomorrow maybe a 10 or 12 hour day and that we may not need all those hours. Uh we do have something working for us and that's the expected warmer weather coming in the next couple days which will uh give us a little bit of of a break in terms of seeing some of that snow settle.

Uh but the the need to haul a lot of it out to to make our um our downtown and our intersections and other areas safer is still there. The uh perspective cost for each of these times that they they spend a day with us is about 18,000 18 to 19,000. So I just round it up to 19,000 for an 18hour period.

Um up to $20,000 were able to do this without a needing um a special uh you know approval to do this. But uh potentially we're getting up into the area of 50 to $57,000. So we would need a blessing from this committee to be able to go ahead with days two and three.

I haven't talked to Tim since uh earlier in the day, so I'm not sure how successful they've been today, but um we'd like your permission. Along with that, we're making the efforts to try and find out if there's opportunity through the state of Wisconsin to get some reimbursement. A lot of communities are asking about the fact that being how historic this was in certain parts of the state, would there be emergency management money coming from Madison?

and we're pursuing that to the best of our ability to offset some of the costs that we've incurred personally, our crew and the things they've been working on and then to attack on payment to a contractor. That in mind, we're looking for approval from this committee to be able to do up to a maximum, if necessary, and I I stress that only if necessary, of 3 days with this contractor to haul the snow out of downtown and the other areas of the community that need it in order to work with our team to get the streets and the uh uh everything back to the way it's supposed to be. Recommended action is to authorize emergency expenditure.

Is there a motion? Move to approve. Second.

Have a motion and a second. Any discussion? Seeing none, all those in favor say I.

I. I. I.

Any opposed say nay. Motion carries. Thank you.

Item seven, request to recommend council approval of budget resolution number 082026, fire department UTV funds presented by Brian Barnes, deputy chief. And that is not Brian Barnes. Hi Chief.

That's okay. The good news is Brian's down in Arizona enjoying the warm weather. I had a little time to take some vacation, so I said I would step in for him.

Um, this evening I'd just like to kind of cover what the UTV project was kind of high level and then walk us through where we got to the funding. Uh the purpose of tonight's presentation is to request the transfer of funds from the donation account to a capital overlay account allow us to complete the purchase of the UTV and trailer. Uh the background on this the UT was identified the 2028 CIP.

It was approximately $55,000 that was placed in that budget at that time. Um we it's intended to support wildfires uh wildland fires off-road uh EMS access and also parks, trails and events uh the major events that happen within the community as well. Um the direction from the common council last year was to go out and look for funding uh to h possibly replace this and we've done that.

Um we built a three-phase approach. Phase one, which is skid unit. We completed that phase already.

That's been done through SNR and that's waiting to be planted on top of the UTV. Uh phase two was UTV and trailer funding and phase three was final equipment match funding. Um all phases are now fully funded.

We did that through donations and grants. Uh, so we've obtained all $55,000 and we're able to move forward with that project. Our expected timeline, we're looking at about two years that we were looking at two years when we first started this out.

We're able to accomplish that in about 6 months. Um, the result, we're looking to have this project delivered early with no CIP impact at all. Um, the big one here, this was fully funded from the Wisconsin DNR fire uh firefighter prevention grant, which was the 50-50 match.

we will be seeing $5,000 that'll come back to the community. It was also funded through Ford Bank, SNR, Nelson Jameson, and another private donor that wanted to remain anonymous. Uh the match requirement successfully met through donations and internal alignment.

Um the operational use for this again, it's going to go through wildfires, uh grass fires, field wooded areas, EMS access, and some of the bigger events in town. The fiscal impact, it's going to remove 55,000 from the 2028 CIP. again, no tax levy impact and funded through grants and community donations.

Uh the community I think it's important to point out the community partnership that we had here. Um you know, reaching out to these community members and having that partnership in place has really helped us to pursue this funding and have this this project fully funded. So, at the end of the day, my humble recommendation would be to approve the budget resolution number 08-2026 to transfer 24,000 from public safety grant funds to the public safety capital outlay account, which will then authorize 26,000 in capital equipment expenditure for the UTV project overall.

That's about the end of my uh my presentation. I gladly answer any questions you may have. Uh recommended action is council approval.

Do I have a motion? Mhm. I will move to approve with much appreciation for your hard work and the community support for this.

That was awesome. You're very welcome. Thank you.

Second. I have a first and a second. Uh any discussion?

Seeing none, all those in favor say I. I. I.

All those opposed say nay. Motion carries. Item eight, request to recommend council approval to hire a police officer to refill a vacancy presented by Jod Glock.

Police Chief. Hey, good evening everyone. Uh, in your packets is a memo that explains what I'm requesting tonight, but I'd like to paraphrase that memo uh before I answer any questions that you might have.

Uh, our department is currently short three officers. The officer uh, one officer rather is deployed with the military. Uh, the other two openings are due to resignations.

Uh, one of our, I'm sorry, our deployed officer is expected to return uh, later this summer. Um, and one of the resignations uh will be on our payroll until the middle of May. Uh, we are approved to fill one position or I'm sorry, we were approved to fill one position back in November.

Uh, we're finally in the last stages of hiring that person. Uh, meaning that that candidate has to uh complete a psych and physical examination. U, which will take some time to schedule yet.

Uh, this process took a little longer than we hope because we had some difficulty finding the right person. Uh some of the previous candidates had some things come up in their background that just didn't make them a good fit for our department. Um we have identified a good candidate to fill the second position and uh he has already successfully completed our background uh background stage of of our hiring process.

Uh he would still have to complete the psych and physical if we able to move forward. Both the candidates are currently in the academy. Uh this means that they would be paid at 80% of the starting wage uh and their employment is contingent upon passing the academy.

Uh the hiring process in law enforcement is extremely competitive. Uh making it necessary for departments to be aggressive in order to have a chance at hiring qualified officers. Uh we have been working short and working short causes many diff uh difficulties in our organization.

Um here are some examples of what we face because of the uh the shortage. uh we have uh to force overtime to meet minimum staffing requirements. Uh minimum staffing is required in order to have enough personnel uh present to operate safely or as safely as possible.

Um forcing overtime works for a while, but over time that uh damages morale and and it uh causes fatigue. Uh we have a difficult time sending officers to the mandatory training again because of minimum staffing. Uh we have trouble allowing officers uh off in order to attend the training.

This results in either cancelling the training or paying overtime to both the officer attending training and the officer covering while the other officer is at training, if that makes any sense. Um, our current shortage uh is uh one detective in our detective bureau and two officers in the patrol. Uh we will need to fill the patrol staff uh and have uh them complete the approximately 16week field training program uh before we can promote a detective.

We have to get our first responders up to speed before we can have the uh the detective bureau full. Um and additionally, you may recall we restructured back in November. Uh in that restructure, we created a detective sergeant position which we haven't been able to fill yet because our detective bureau still hasn't uh reached full capacity.

Um we have a couple of uh foreseen threats in our department. Uh unfortunately, we have two officers who have notified me that that they will be leaving our department this year uh to move to a state with warmer climate, and I can't blame them after this week. Uh neither has officially resigned as of today, but they're very seriously considering that.

Um their pending resignation will likely result in need to fill their positions as well. uh if we hold off hiring now, we run the risk of of having up to three or more officers going through the field training program at once, which really puts a strain on our our department to get them through. Um in addition, uh the two officers who are planning on leaving are both field training officers.

So, we will have more people coming through and less people available to train them. Um in conclusion, we absolutely need to fill the positions that are open. We have uh verified with finance that we have more than enough uh in our budget to cover the costs uh of hiring the second officer.

Uh those details are in the memo uh but we can go through those again. Uh we have a candidate uh who is extremely marketable uh and has passed a background uh portion of our hiring process. Uh not filling the position can cause even more challenges in the near future.

And finally, hiring an additional officer is supported by a PFC who passed uh my request at March 12th at our meeting. Uh, I recommend that we move forward with hiring the officer, but I would uh like to answer any questions you might have before you vote on this. Recommendation is council approval.

Do I have a motion? Move to approve. I will second it.

I have a first and second. Any discussion? Seeing none, all those in favor say I.

I. I. I.

All those opposed? Nay. Motion carries.

Item nine, request to recommend council approval of Oak Avenue rental agreements presented by Justin Caspersonson, parks and rec director. All right. Good evening and thank you.

Uh the purpose of my memo is to inform the finance, budget, and personnel committee of a recent decision made by the parks, recreation, and forestry committee regarding the use of space within the Oak Avenue Community Center. Uh the and request of your approval for lease agreements with community groups. After careful consideration, the committee directed staff to implement a monthly rental fee for groups utilizing the space.

I'll give a little background about the building and its space and how it's being occupied. The Oak Avenue Community Center, which is commonly referred to, which I typically call at the Old Armory, is located at 2011 South Oak Avenue. The building was constructed in 1941 as the Marshfield Armory and Community Center.

As an armory, it served the local unit of the Wisconsin National Guard and featured a large gymnasium and rooms to operate the armory. After the new armory was built on the south side of town, the original Army's military function gradually disin diminished and the building evolved into a community use facility. Today, the Oak Avenue Community Center operates under parks and recreation as a venue for sports, private rentals, classes, vendor, and craft shows, and community events.

Over time, community groups began utilizing unused rooms for their storage and activities. Current users include the Gus Gym, Marshfield Area Community Foundation, Marshfield Civic Band, the Zoological Society, Marshfield Youth Soccer Association, and the Marshfield Area Football. Some of these groups have occupied the space for more than 20 years.

I think I was told tonight maybe longer. Space within the building is limited and constrained by access and usability. The building lacks an elevator making basement and second floor access difficult.

It also does not have air conditioning and the aging boiler heating system causes inconsistent temperature control throughout the building. So, I'm going to talk a little about the analysis of what the committee looked at. Given the city's continued financial challenges, the fact that several groups have occupied the space for more than 20 years at no cost, the committee recommended a rental fee for their ongoing use.

This decision was not made lightly. The committee discussed the item at three med meetings and reviewed rental rates from six companies. They recognized and value the important role these organizations play in the community and understand this may impact the group's operation.

However, the city is facing increasing operational facility costs and must take steps to recover greater portion of these expenses in order to responsibly manage and maintain the building for long-term use. To help ease the transition, the rental structure is planned and phased over three years. In 2026, there'd be zero rental fee charged.

In 2027, it would be 50% of the established rate of 34 cents per square foot. In 2028, it'd be 100% of the established rate of 34 cents per square foot. The phased approach is intended to provide the organizations with time to plan and adjust accordingly.

The committee understands this is not ideal, particularly for groups that have historically used the space at no cost, and they acknowledge that the new fee may present challenges. Please know that the both the department and the committee took this into serious consideration with the goal of creating a fair and consistent system that ensures equal access and use of the facility for all groups moving forward. It should be noted that the parks recreation and forestry committee elected to not administer a fee to the zoological society as their mission and goals of their organization is a direct benefit of Wildwood Zoo which is owned and operated by uh the Marsh the city of Marshfield.

So enclosed are the various lease agreements uh with the various groups and tonight we're looking for approval of those uh agreements. So recommend recommendation is council approval. Do I have a motion?

I see no motion. So it just gets tabled. I can have open to discussion then.

Mike, thank you. Um, yeah, I recognize the uh contributions from all these clubs. Um, I would suggest we revisit this.

I know you guys have spent a lot of time on it already, but is there a way we can use room tax money, economic development money, um, to help offset these costs with parks and wreck? I mean, we're talking about a pretty small total package cost annually. And it just seems to me that we can come up with a better way to try to skin this cat.

Just my input. Any other discussion, Rebecca or Brian? No, I have a comment.

I think um I support charging for you usable program space, first floor space for such as aging and disability, but I think basement storage at this this is different. Um it's lowquality inaccessible space that only has value to these groups. These groups are aligned much like Marshal Zoo with our city goals.

They provide services that parks and recck cannot or we aren't we aren't capable of from Gus Gym to MSA soccer uh youth football civic band. Um the foundation stores gloves and hats down there um to give away. These are all good causes for the city.

I would again agree with Mike. We should find another way to charge these organization or find another way to pay for this. I I would be open to a motion on the aging and disability resource center.

That's first floor usable program space. Um and I would make that motion if I can. The clerk looks at me and and and get that, but it's the ADRC is located at the Second Street Community Center, not part of this.

They already have a lease agreement with the city that was Isn't that in our No, this would be just for the Oak Avenue Community Center. Okay. I It's in our packet.

That's why if I can address that, I just included in the packet uh just to show for comparison that we we have had an agreement like this somewhere else. Uh okay. That is uh the same lease that we used for ADRC's which we're using today.

Okay. For these groups. So that one's already established.

Sorry I didn't Motion withdraw. Yeah. Any other discussion?

Yeah. Justin, where does the maintenance come? How do we pay for the maintenance in that building?

Out of our 101 operation, it's about $30,000 a year for uh maintenance of that building. And being that there's no fee being charged with any of those groups, the city's not held responsible for any equipment damage, anything that might freeze if the furnace goes haywire. And we're still responsible in some capacity.

We currently have a chimney that's leaking and that's in zoological society area. We're going to be responsible for at least fixing that chimney for the boiler system. We do collect revenues from community events, sports teams, what have you.

about $13,000. So we cover almost half of the expenses. Okay.

We did also increase that last year and it's planned to be increased this year as well. Great. Scott, thank you.

Yeah, I'm not going to debate where this is going and I understand what the members of this committee are saying and I definitely respect that. I would just say in reference to Justin and the parks and recreation committee, you know, when we sit here in October, we'll be talking about the budget, and I know it came up last year, are there ways that the park and recreation department can look at increasing revenues, whether it be from greater fees at Vandy Waters or whatever. So, I feel like bringing a proposal forward like this was reasonable, even if ultimately it's determined not to be in the best interest of the city to charge these groups, uh, it sort of fit with what they were almost directed to do six months ago.

I just wanted that noted. Okay. Any further discussion, Justin?

I just want to echo what Steve is saying. Our department as well as our committee recognize the fact that we're dealing with some budget challenges and we're trying to streamline everything, whether that's donations, grants, scholarships, you name it. We're trying to figure out ways to generate revenue.

Not all of them are perfect. Not all of them are clean. Some of them we don't even agree with, like charging some of these groups who've been here forever.

But at the same time, we're bringing it up and we'll let the body decide. And if they decide not to, we'll support that. If they decide to do it, we'll support that, too.

So, it's not a staff decision on whether we want to do some of these things. It's just we want to have it discussed. Yeah.

Thank you, Justin. Any further discussion? So, without a motion, we just Okay.

Item 10, request to recommend council approval of revised job description for the event and program coordinator position presented by Justin Casperson. Thank you again. Uh the purpose of my memo is to request approval of the updated job description for the event and program coordinator position.

The revisions better reflect the current operational needs of the department and the responsibilities associated with coordinating community events and older programming 55 ages 55 and older programming. Uh background over the past several years the department has experienced ongoing difficulty recruiting and retaining an employee for the senior coordinator position. Last year it was decided to discontinue event efforts to fill that position and instead absorb those duties within the existing department structure.

Uh since implementing that change, it has become evident that the division of responsibilities has not functioned as effectively as originally anticipated. While staff has made good faith efforts to manage those shared duties, splitting closely related job functions among multiple employees has resulted in workflow inefficiencies, duplications of effort and challenges uh with the program continuity. Uh recognizing these organizational challenges I believe is appropriate to adjust our approach to improve efficiency and service delivery.

Uh with the current vacancy within the parks and recreation department, this presents an opportune time to move certain senior coordinator responsibilities to the event and program coordinator position. Combining these duties under a single employee will improve workflow continuity, reduce fragmentation, and control when related functions are divided among multiple staff members. Establishing a single point of contact will also provide clear responsibility, more consistent program coordination, and improved responsiveness.

Uh now from a supervisory standpoint, administrative perspective, consolidating these duties will simplifies simplify training, scheduling, performance evaluation and overall role expectation. It will also increase clear performance matrix and reduce administrative time currently required to coordinate and monitor multiple employees performing portions of the same responsibilities. This change remains consistent with the department strategic focus on expanding programming and opportunities and strengthening community engagement, enhancing the quality of life for Marshfield.

Now, the fiscal the fiscal impact of this this approval does not create a new position. It does not require additional budget resources. Staff are not recommending that this position be submitted to McGrath for review.

staff is simply uh asking for uh changes for the updated job description that was presented in your packet. Okay. Recommendation is for council approval.

Do I have a motion? Move to approve. I'll second it.

Have a first and second. Any discussion? Seeing none, all those in favor say I.

I. I. I.

Any oppose say nay. Motion carries. Item 11, request to recommend council approval of revised policy number 3.

410, voluntary resignation, formerly voluntary termination, presented by Sarah Drstle, human resources director. Thank you. So, uh, moving forward, you're going to start seeing, um, more and more policies kind of coming through as we're making revisions to some of our, um, older policies.

And this was uh one of them that uh we do get questions on on occasion when uh people are handing in their resignation. What do they do? How do they do it?

That type of thing. So this original policy was done in 1978 with a revision done in January of 2012. Um, so what changes really were done uh to this policy was kind of uh putting it more into I would say um a format that we're going to have moving forward for most of our policies with a purpose, a scope and some definitions added just to kind of provide some clarity.

Um it also adds a section uh regarding resignation notices and submission requirements just to again make it more clear of of what the expectations are if someone is resigning. um providing exit and off-boarding information for supervisor, department heads, HR and employees as well as final pay and leave benefit information. Uh policies that basically discuss uh the termination, resignations, and retirements um are listed at the bottom there.

Um also added was a form. A lot of times employees have questions on, you know, what do I have to do in order to let you know I'm putting my notice in? That type of thing.

The resignation uh notice information form um does uh provide an option. Um people certainly can uh provide their own notice, but um this form will provide clarity on last day worked and all of those other um sections that are on there. One note that I wanted uh to make uh is one change that I would like to recommend if um it is approved tonight and that is under number four.

Um I apologize Rebecca. Um, I will send this to you uh via email, but the the number four section is called city discretion. Um, what I had originally had was it said the city may determine the employees last day worked based on operational needs, performance concerns, security considerations, or other legitimate reasons consistent with applicable law and policy.

Um, a question came up. um does this allow uh the city to say um extend out when their last day is kind of um assuming that we can push an employee to have to stay longer. Um so to make sure that there isn't a risk of that.

I mean obviously from a city standpoint I'm going to tell you I would never um move forward with doing something like that. The risks are far too high um from a legal standpoint. Um, but just to provide some clarity, there are times, and the purpose of this section was really um if you have an employee that um puts in their notice, but let's just say for um a security consideration um they're a disgruntled employee.

We would prefer them not to work out their um resignation notice. This would allow the city to say, I know you say your last day of work is this, but we want to move that up and and things like that. So instead it will just say um city discretion earlier last day worked only and then there's some um verbiage that kind of goes into the fact that if we say are going to do that that we would provide the employee in writing um when the last day worked would be and then any applicable transition and offboarding instructions to that employee.

So it kind of puts a little bit more um information into that. Um so with that I am recommending approval of this policy um to move forward to common council for final approval. Okay.

Recommendation is for council approval. Do I have a motion? Move to approve.

I will second that. Have a first and second. Any discussion?

Seeing none. All those in favor say I. I.

I. I. All those opposed say nay.

Motion carries. Thank you. Item 12, suggested items for future agendas.
