Public Comment
None.
Kenyon moved Resolution 5498, a resolution to amend Resolution No. 5441 as it relates to the
Capital Improvement Plan for the police impact fee schedule. The motion was seconded.
Council Discussion
Hafferman cited the MCA restrictions on using impact fees, stating this is obviously correcting a
deficiency and is not allowed by state law. He commented that this is a Maintenance and Operations
(M&O) cost and is not impact fee related; he recognized the equipment is necessary, but stated the
purchase is not allowed by impact fee law.
Mayor Fisher noted council could decide to amend the CIP as a matter of policy, but it is a stretch to take
this out of impact fees because she also believes it is an M&O expense. She emphasized that we need to
find it in the budget and not use impact fees.
The motion failed upon roll call vote with Kenyon voting in favor, Atkinson, Hafferman, Kluesner,
Larson, Saverud, Zauner and Mayor Fisher voting against, and Gabriel absent.
Diehl announced his resignation effective July 16 and stated he appreciated council's support for the fire
department during contract negotiations.
Howington remarked that Diehl has done an admirable job building relationships with the other fire
departments and stated it has been a privilege to serve with him.
Mayor Fisher offered condolences to Judy Wise's family.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:40 p.m.
