After the trial period, Council can decide if they’d like to continue using the rooms for COW meetings. Councilmember Becky Nixon asked that term limits for Mayor and Councilmembers be added to the January retreat agenda as a discussion item. b. 2017 Budget – department presentations: Public Works Boyd Benson, Interim Public Works Director, gave a presentation on the proposed 2017 Public Works budget which includes building, engineering, maintenance and wastewater treatment departments as well as water, sewer, stormwater, parks and streets funds. The overall budget for Public Works has increased mostly due to one-time expenditures for large projects like Main Street and Big Rock Ball Park. Mr. Benson also reviewed the items that were not funded in 2017 including McCormick Park Riverbank/Master Plan, capital replacement funds for water and wastewater, pavement overlay and repair and a Maintenance 1 position. Mr. Benson answered questions from Council regarding the pavement overlay program and the proposed purchase of a new dump truck. Planning Department Lara Thomas, Planning Director, gave a presentation on the proposed 2017 Planning Department budget. The overall Planning budget decreased by approximately 9% from the 2016 budget. Salaries and wages increased slightly to reflect the Administrative Assistant working on the King County Metro Community Van program which is paid for by King County. There are no new programs proposed and there are some carryovers from the 2016 budget to complete projects that started this year. Ms. Thomas then reviewed items that were not funded including the Parks, Trails and Open Space (PTOS) plan, Design Guidelines and Landscape Standards. Council discussed the importance of funding the PTOS plan and reviewing the Park Impact Fee and asked that this discussion be continued during the next budget discussion.
