From the meeting
The council was scheduled to review updated funding options for the proposed Public Works Facility with Bruce Kimmel of Ehlers. Staff said earlier planning assumed 50% from the General Fund and 50% from the enterprise funds, and asked for a preferred funding approach so staff and Ehlers could begin a financing plan. Staff also asked to bring the Wold Architects team back for later design and cost discussion.
Decision state: vote scheduled.
