1. NEXT MEETING: The next council meeting is August 1 at 6:00 pm.
2. BUDGET: In the packet is a budget summary for FY 10/11 that ended June 30. All departments were under budget and the Directors are to be commended for a job well done!!
3. ELECTRICITY USE: A new July peak of 32.6MW was set on Monday (old one of 31.4MW). The extended nature of the heat wave (both number of days and hours per day) spreads out the cost (higher demand charge) over additional kWh sales for the month.
4. WELLNESS CENTER: Project manager rfp’s will be received thru Wednesday the 27th. The committee will narrow them to 3-5 and interview in early to mid-august.
A recommendation will then be provided to council in September.
5. LABOR NEGOTIATIONS: This is the third and final year of the contract with our union so negotiations will begin this fall. The council and trustees can meet September 12 (closed session) to discuss the current contract and upcoming negotiations.
6. BIKE NITE: Resident Tim Paterson asked to be on the August 1 agenda (see request) to discuss the event and related noise.
7. TAX REVENUES: June receipts show collections at just over 100% for FY ended June 30, 2011. Good news!
8. W HWY 92 SEWER: An informational meeting with property owners on Hwy 92 West will be held July 27 at 4:00 p.m. in the council chambers to discuss connect fee/voluntary assessment payment options.
9. SIDEWALK PROJECT: The Community Development Department will be re-evaluating all properties that received a sidewalk repair letter in the next week and soliciting bids from local contractors for repairs. 200 sidewalk letters were mailed and 45 have been confirmed repaired.
After inspection, the department assumes many more will have been repaired, reducing the number of repairs the contractor will have to fix.
