CITY MANAGER’S REPORT
Lynn Lander presented the 2019-2023 Capital Outlay Program and 2019 Budget
Proposal to the City Council. Lander explained that City Ordinance 04-04-04 established a
second penny sales tax to provide a funding source for the City’s Major Capital Improvements.
He stated that the Supreme Court ruling in June, 2018, requiring internet retailers collect sales
taxes, will hopefully help local business sales and have a positive impact in 2019 on sales tax
collections for the City of Aberdeen. In the 2019 Budget Proposal, Lander is recommending
adding a full-time school resource officer to assist with the middle and elementary schools and

indicated that the City Attorney would be codifying the ordinances. Ride Line is expected to
replace vehicles with three new buses. The Airport is planning upgrades which include a new

reading of the 2019 City Budget Ordinance and Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan is
scheduled to be presented at the City Council Meeting on September 4, 2018.
