1) Public Comment. None.
2) Approval of the minutes of the April 9, 2009, meeting. Motion by DiPiazza, seconded by Peterson, to approve. Motion carried.
3) Update on the construction of the New Police/Municipal Court Facility. Chief Keil reported that the building is under construction.
4) Discussion on the status of the 2009/2010 operating budgets. Chief Keil advised that City Department Heads were asked by the City Administrator to find cuts and revenues equivalent to 5% of this year’s budget for next year’s budget in order to possibly avoid furloughs and other benefit reductions. Chief Keil provided a draft copy of a memorandum that outlined such cuts to include: a hiring freeze, potential revenue increases, training cuts and other overtime reductions.
5) Discussion on Licensed Premises and Expanded Premises Issues. Chief Keil reported that a group, consisting of the Chamber Director, Lt. Kakuske and staff from at least three area licensed premises, was being formed to put together a list of standard conditions for permits for expanded premises. Chief Keil solicited input from the Committee regarding adding a member of the Committee to that group. Chief Keil will follow-up with members of the Committee and the expanded premises group.
Motion by DiPiazza, seconded by Freidl, to adjourn. Meeting adjourned at 7:50 PM.
