Councilmember Delgleize and Manager Hopkins discussed details related to meter size, maintenance fee for the water system , the "water fee" listed on property ta x bills, and confirmed that notices are sent to all residents as well as property owners . Councilmember Posey and Manager Hopkins discussed the most compelling reasons for rate increases is to maintain fiscal sustainability; maintain a good credit rating which allows for borrowing, if necessary, at lower interest rates; the reserve policy sets aside funds to replace a water well which protects the cheapest source of water for the City ; and maintaining adequate reserve funds allows for quick infrastructure replacement such as in the case of an earthquake . Councilmember Posey stated his support for this item .

Councilmember Delgleize stated her support for Councilmember Carr's comments. Councilmember Brenden reviewed some of the specific budget reductions which he applauded, but stated that in his opinion, it is counter-productive to then turn around and place most of those savings into salaries. City Attorney Gates explained that this budget honors the request for a one percent (1%) reduction. Councilmember Brenden and Human Resources Director Michelle Warren discussed that the cities selected for showing compensation comparables had to have a City Attorney with matching classifications, and every city that met the criteria is shown.

Council member Brenden and City Treasurer Backstrom discussed that 20 hours per week was determ ined to be an average, and Treasurer Backstrom stated that she typically works over that amount of hours each week. Councilmember Hardy explained that to the best of her knowledge the salary, number of hours, and salary cap for this position were set by Council after the former City Treasurer was elected to the County Treasurer position.

There was further discussion on details related to Other Contract Services and Interdepartmental Charges budget line items. Councilmember Carr expressed concern that a staff position is being requested before the citywide Succession Plan has been considered, and that the requested position has not been budgeted for.
