My 10.21.25 Meeting Summary

At our last meeting, the Council discussed several signficant items:

- We approved a new job description for a Community Services Coordinator.  Given the volume of community events and the level of effort needed to facilitate these events, as well as contemplating new events, staff recommended repurposing an existing unfill role to perform these duties.  The role would serve as point on logistics for community events and be on site during events as needed.  

- We continued our discussoin around the City's financnes.  In our previous meetings, the Council established some aspirational goals around maintaining infrastrucure (roads, sidewalks, etc.) and compensation.  Based on those goals, the City would need to increase revenue so this meeting we also continued our discussion around various potential revenue options.  

Now that staff has done the dilligence in determining the need, and the dilligence in determining what options are available, it will be up to Council to decide on which of the options move forward with.  The simple question of more taxes, less services, or both remains the same, however now we equipped to make informed decisions.  There were a few follow up questions to get more detail, and staff will return at our next meeting.

- We gave feedback on updating the City's logo.  The current logo is sometimes difficult to see in various forms of media.  We provided feedback on ways it could be improved and staff will come back with updates.
