Finance Director Callaway presented the staff report and responded to Council inquiries. (The presentation
can be found here.)
During discussion, the Council requested the General Fund Emergency Reserve ("GFER"), Risk Management
Fund, and Tourism Business Improvement District ("TBID") policies be brought for discussion during budget
workshops. The need to aggressively begin planning for economic diversification is imperative to be financially
viable in the future. The Council also stressed the importance of engaging the public to ensure the community
understands the City's financial realities.
The Mayor reopened public comment period for items on the agenda.
Joan Solu, Morro Bay, urged the Council to not spend $50,000 on an economic plan, but to dust off several
existing plans the City has and gather local professionals to work as a team to analyze that information and
develop an action plan.
The public comment period was closed.
