Mayor Rose called the meeting to order at 8:02 a.m. Those in attendance were Mayor Kathy Rose, Aldermen Ron Super, Mike Fuller, Brad Cope, Seth DeRose, Aaron Thatcher, and Art Homer. Also present were Interim City Administrator Greg Mills, City Attorney Nancy Thompson, City Clerk Robin Littrell, Finance Director Donna Resz, Community Development Director Mike Duffy, City Engineer Travis Hoover, Public Works Director Tom Wooddell, and Administration Director Meredith Hauck. WORKSHOP @ 8:00 A.M. Interim City Administrator Mills introduced the agenda for the meeting. He informed the Board that staff met with the architect for the city hall remodel and later decided that a different approach will be taken. We will use our city engineer, public works director, and inspector to do some office reconfiguration and also focus on the window concerns, to make better use of the budget allowed for this project. Mills also explained that we are going to delay the hiring of the executive administrative assistant until we have more time to see how the new receptionist and her skill set works within the needs of the staff. This will probably be a four to five month trial period, so that staff is making the best use of our budget dollars. Finance Director Donna Resz began a PowerPoint presentation along with a handout given to the Board for their review of the upcoming budget process and policy considerations. The Board was given opportunities to ask questions and discuss issues as different funds and procedures were reviewed. A break was taken at 9:29 a.m. and reconvened at 9:49 a.m. Department Heads discussed the projects they will have for the upcoming budget year. Mills stated that the next workshop for the Board will be on March 9 focused on Economic Development, and he asked for input from the board on agenda items for that meeting. The Board's third workshop session might be focused on services by the city. MOTION TO ADJOURN a Alderman Thatcher moved to adjourn the meeting at 11:11 a.m., second by Alderman Fuller.
