The meeting began at 7:19 p.m.
1. Discussion - 2000/2001 Budget Issues. The City Council will discuss the various budget issues for the new budget year.
A resident was present and asked about the plans for improving (paving or reconstruction) of 185 East off 400 North. The Council explained that a plan for street improvements was made last year with priorities being established. They suggested that he contact Don Peterson, Public Works Director, to see if this street is on the current listing. He thanked the Council.
Mayor Ellertson then invited Theresa Griffin, of the County Library Board, to come forward and present information concerning the County Bookmobile services.
Mrs. Griffin expressed appreciation for Lindon’s participation with the Bookmobile. She stated that the idea of a county-wide library system has been discussed at the Council of Governments and the idea was not dismissed out of hand. There could be some hope for this in the future. She said the Bookmobile provides a good service to those communities without a library of their own.
Councilmember Hatch asked why if the visibility was a concern the Bookmobile usually stops at local schools instead of a place near State Street like the City Center. Mrs. Griffin said that it is primarily because of the large parking area and the hope to instill good reading habits in children. There was some discussion about how to get more notice out to the public of the Bookmobile’s activities. Mr. Dameron asked if she had any idea about the amount of budget request the Bookmobile was desiring for next year. Mrs. Griffin said the amount should not be much greater than current year but she was not sure of the exact request.
Mrs. Griffin asked the Council to begin thinking about a replacement for her on the Board since she has served many years. The Council thanked her for her service and for her appearance here tonight.
Mayor Ellertson then invited Ott Dameron, City Administrator, to present the 2000/2001 fiscal year budget issues to the Council.
Mr. Dameron presented the items on the attached list to the Council. Discussion on each item was held. Ms. Colson and Mr. Smith discussed some recommended changes in the city fee schedule. Mr. Dameron explained that some of these items will come to the Council as budget issues during the public hearings scheduled for June 6, 2000 and June 20, 2000.
No action was taken.
COUNCILMEMBER BAYLESS MOVED TO ADJOURN THE MEETING AT 9:30 P.M. COUNCILMEMBER BATH SECONDED THE MOTION. VOTING WAS UNANIMOUS IN THE AFFIRMATIVE WITH ALL PRESENT. THE MOTION CARRIED.
APPROVED - June 6, 2000
