TBID expenditures and stated infrastructure improvements would not be an appropriate use of
those funds.

Finance Director Callaway presented the staff report and noted a correction was needed on page
17 of the agenda packet regarding Enterprise Equipment Replacement funds. The minimum level
and target level funding should refer to the respective enterprise fund fleet, not general fund fleet.
Council Member McPherson recommended language on the bottom of page 11 of the agenda
packet be edited to clarify staff will bring forward recommendations for Council direction regarding
DU of excess funds. The Council agreed with the proposed change.
The Council expressed some concern about the proposed minimum and target levels for the
Compensated Absences Reserve and asked staff to reconsider the recommendation for further
discussionI
It was agreed staff would modify the General Fund Emergency Reserve and Internal Service
