The downspout disconnection program is another thing that we've worked with the <br />Council on; unfortunately, we haven't gotten a lot of people taking advantage of it. <br />We've done a press event and the students are getting back to school and will continue to <br />try to help us get the word out. We hope Council will continue to spread the word too. <br />Residents will have to do it themselves after 2017. Getting the Plastic Out has been a <br />great program for our Kompost. We've sold about fifty percent (50 %) more than the prior <br />year because people now see it as a useable product. <br />Committee Chair White spoke up to suggest finishing the Public Works presentation on <br />August 29th. The break would give Council some time digest the lengthy presentation <br />and develop questions for Mr. Horvath, she suggested. She asked City Controller John <br />Murphy to amend the schedule appropriately. <br />Councilmember Tim Scott suggests they give the questions to Eric before he returns. <br />Committee Chair White agreed and asked Council to review their questions from all <br />budget proceedings so that the Clerk can send them to the respective departments. She <br />reiterated that the Council has reviewed a lot of information and it's important to have <br />time to digest it. She asked Mr. Horvath if he anticipated anymore fee increases. <br />Mr. Horvath said they'll also be revisiting the sewer fees but not until 2018. <br />Councilmember Broden asked which department is up next. <br />Committee Chair White answered the Fire Department is presenting next. <br />Councilmember Broden asked to be sent presentations at least three days prior to the <br />scheduled presentation and she thanked Mr. Horvath for his presentation and day -to -day <br />work. <br />Committee Chair White agreed to contact Councilmembers that weren't in attendance to <br />address the importance of attending all budget sessions because it's hard to catch up once <br />you've missed several presentations. <br />With no further business, she adjourned the meeting at 7:06 p.m. <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br />Karen White, Chairperson <br />11 <br />
