initiative for the Planning process for their consideration. Ms. Riganti stated she is <br />requesting an additional $50,000 in consulting services which would bring the total in <br />Professional Services to $80,000. She said the department has proposed creating an <br />advisory committee which would include members of the Comprehensive Plan Committee <br />(a sub-committee of the Plan Commission), of which one member of this sub-committee <br />would be the chair, along with other Board and Commission members. She said the <br />ultimate decision of who would be on the committee would be up to the Council. <br /> <br />Some goals for FY 2012-2013 were: <br /> <br /> To start a facility maintenance program by developing a Capital Improvement Plan. <br /> <br /> Look for way to increase memberships and participation in recreational areas. <br /> <br /> Develop a strategic plan <br /> <br /> To improve all turn-around times on calls, inspections etc. <br /> <br /> Update department policies and procedures <br /> <br /> Develop long range reutilization plan for the Heman Community Center <br /> <br />Ms. Carr stated the entire Plan Commission should make the decision as to what is needed <br />for an advisory committee. She asked what was included in the extra $50,000 requested. <br />Ms. Riganti noted the department budgeted $25,000 for a consultant for the community <br />engagement portion. She stated the additional cost was for hiring a consultant to also <br />prepare the plan. Ms. Riganti said the consultant would work with the City staff and the <br />Plan Commission/Advisory Committee. <br /> <br />Mr. Glickert asked Ms. Riganti if the department could chart progress of goals they set at <br />the end of six months and one year, starting from a base line number. <br /> <br />Mr. Crow mentioned that the goals set should be attainable. He also asked why personnel <br />increased at the Community Center but it was being used less. Ms. Riganti said it was due <br />to a budgetary accounting system problem and would correct itself the following year. <br /> <br />Mayor Welsch asked Ms. Riganti if she would provide an update on how many calls the City <br />receives for inspections and their turn-around time. <br /> <br />Mr. Crow asked if the department could track the number of visitors to the driving range. <br />Ms. Riganti said they do not have a system that would track this. They can track the <br />buckets of balls sold but the bucket sizes vary. <br /> <br />Mayor Welsch asked if Council could be updated on the revenue received from the bucket <br />of balls sold. <br /> <br />Mayor Welsch asked if there were any changes to the agenda. She had two appointments <br />to Boards and Commissions she asked to add. <br /> <br />Study session was adjourned at 6:25 p.m. <br /> <br />Joyce Pumm, MRCC <br />City Clerk <br />3 <br /> <br />
