Motion passed unanimously. b) 2018 Preliminary Budget Cami reviewed the preliminary budget that she put together with the Council. She noted that all groups’ wish lists are incorporated in here including the upgrade project to the Fire Hall. She lowered the contribution to the CIP Fund in order to pass a balanced budget at a 7% increase in the levy. Member Lambert discussed the shed replacement at Mantor Field,  electric hand dryers in those bathrooms, fencing at Mantor Field which he is not sure if the Joint Ventures group will contribute or not, and trash cans. He discussed the need to take out more boulevard trees and do we want to consider initiating a cost sharing program with the property owners for replacement of those taken out. The thought is to contribute a $100 as a match to the resident to put in another tree on their own property but not in the boulevard. The Park Board has implemented a line item of $1,000 for the year. They discussed the need to replace the Kubota mower. Member Hofstad questioned the need for a part time mower due to the WW plant going away? Mayor Bradford noted that he feels it would be needed in 2018 but probably not in 2019. Cami will bring the resolution adopting the preliminary levy to the next Council Meeting. 8.
