The Personal and Finance Committee had three bills on the agenda. Karen White, Chair of the Personal
and Finance Committee began the hearing with full attendance including citizen member Valerie Mora -
Kraus.
John Murphy, City Controller, made the presentation. He explained that all three bills, 30 -15, 31 -15, and
32 -15 were all mid - stream corrections to the budget passed in October of 2014. John went on to say he
was happy to comply with these quarterly adjustments in the interest of transparency and to abide by
Council requirements.
Bill 30 -15 appropriated $516,891 from three funds, the LR & S #251 Prof. Sports Dev. Fund #377 and the
CEDIT Fund #408. The Council was only comfortable forwarding the bill with no recommendation upon
motions by Valerie Schey and Dr. Fred Ferlic which were supported by all. They felt questions remained
about the Public Safety CEDIT despite assurances the fund was secure.
Bill 31 -15 also requested adjustments that would accurately reflect the necessary fund levels at the end
of the 2 "d quarter. The appropriations totaled $312,000. The Water Works Bond Reserve Fund #626
appropriated $14,500 while the Century Center Fund #671 appropriated $297,500.
This bill received a favorable recommendation after a motion by Dr. Ferlic, seconded by Valerie Schey
and affirmed by all.
The last bill considered was bill 32 -15. This as explained by John Murphy was a transfer of dollars within
a fund category and did not require an appropriating ordinance as did the previous bills.
After a few Council questions Valerie Schey moved to send the bill favorably. Dr. Ferlic offered a second
and all affirmed.
Karen White adjourned at 4:34 p.m.
Respectfully Submitted,
Karen White, Chairperson
Personnel & Finance Committee
