2. Key Financial Strategies by Jim Prosser and Dave Callister of Ehlers &
Associates
Jim Prosser reviewed the concept and why the City should adopt a Key Financial
Strategies Plan. He encouraged additions to the draft to make sure all issues are
included that need to be addressed. The Plan should be the bible for future planning
and should be reviewed often and revised as needed.
Dave Callister defined items on the presented spreadsheet, stressing that the amounts
are forecasts of potential needs, not a budget.
Prosser explained that the next step is for the Council to make changes and
recommendations to him so that he can make the appropriate changes and bring the
plan back for adoption. Another work session can be held if needed before adoption.
Meisel suggested setting a workshop for April 19, 2005 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., to
refine the plan so that it can be put on the following council agenda for adoption.
3. Adjourn
MOTION by Beise, seconded by Specht to adjourn at 9:12 p.m. All voted in favor.
