1. Based on the Council’s agenda tonight, the CDBG discussion could run very late. Is it the Council’s preference to stay tonight until CDBG is finished, or to find another day when we could do a lunch meeting? Friday, April 22nd or Monday, April 25th may be the most likely days for a lunch meeting with the whole Council (although some Council Members were tentatively marked out). The CDBG deadline for adoption is April 26 (the last Tuesday Council meeting). Council Members asked that the Administration provide recommendations to address the 15%-16% reduction proposed by the Federal Government. Mr. Gray said they would provide the information.
Councilmember Love said some items needed to be pulled from the 26th agenda such as sustainability. Councilmember Simonsen asked if the agriculture piece of sustainability would still be included in the budget. Councilmember Love said yes.
Ms. Gust-Jenson said the health benefits follow-up discussion which was scheduled for tonight would be addressed during the normal budget process.
A majority of the Council was in favor of starting the April 26th Council meeting at 2:00 p.m.
