With respect to Prop P funding, Councilmember Crow stated there have been ongoing <br />discussions regarding the need to increase the amount currently being paid out to the <br />Pension Funds. So even though no specific mechanism or protocols have been established <br />for how these funds, designated for public safety, should be spent, the initial thought is that <br />$240,000 will be set aside for the Pension Funds. Councilmember Crow stated as always, <br />Council welcomes and encourages citizen's input as they start to develop this process. <br />CouncilmemberCrow stated that although he too, may not be physically present at the <br />next meeting, his hope is that he will be able to join via Skype. <br />Councilmember Carrstated this is an incredible community that really cares about its <br />neighbors, and never ceases to amaze her.She said the City and MSD are still in <br />negotiations. One of the options is to change MSD's Charter, and those of you who have <br />worked on petition drives know that that's a lot easier than going to court. So Don Fitz is <br />absolutely right, it is not a donedeal, and this City should not back down. The <br />spokesperson for MSD may have come across as somewhat overconfident about his ability <br />to push these plans through, but she thinks the harmony and resilience exhibited by this <br />community really put the pressureon and made him realize there just might be a need to <br />rethink their strategy. <br />Mayor Welsch reminded everyone that the Focus Group Meeting will be held at 6 p.m. <br />tomorrow night at the Heman Park Community Center. <br />P.ADJOURNMENT <br />Mayor Welsch thanked everyone for their attendance and closedthe City Council meeting at <br />8:21 p.m. <br />LaRette Reese <br />Interim City Clerk <br /> <br />Page 16 of 16 <br /> <br />
