Kenyon, E. Beutler, K. Ridout, and J. Abram. Public Present: G. Stratton, A. Middleton, N. McHenry, B. Pickens, S. Holman, G. & B. Boyd, L. Beil, B. Haselton, and T. Heindl. Integrated Finance Integrated Finance System System Finance Director Godbey presented a status report on efforts pertinent to the Integrated Finance System. She reviewed the various focus groups, involving all levels of employees, which have been working on such conversions as payroll, utility billing, general ledger, and the like. The payroll was successfully converted as of May 1 and employees commended for their efforts were Lynne Bryant and Linda Kheriaty. Director Godbey indicated it is hoped the utility billing system can be converted no later than July 1; she reviewed the new format of the bill itself. In answer to an inquiry, Ms. Godbey responded the new system provides enough flexibility to enable an account credit for possible recycling incentives. The general ledger system entails a great deal of planning due to the complex nature of tracking all City transactions. The first City Council meeting in June should see voucher lists run on the old as well as the new system. Job costing is a module being prepared which will allow the operational aspect of the City to track costs independent of the general ledger system. Supporting all of these systems will be a local area network which will provide all users the ability to access different systems, based on need and different levels of security. It is hoped that eventually all City Council members can have equipment available in order to access the system for information and scheduling opportunities. At this time, Director Godbey introduced and commended other employees for their significant contributions to these efforts: Karen Niemi, Scott Kenyon, and Eileen Beutler.

Also present is Bill Wilbert, who will be available to answer questions. Charles Beaudette, 1411 Pacific Vista Drive, suggested a review of the process and ordinances governing heating and appeal of conditional use permit applications. It was his opinion that a portion of the ordinance does not provide respondents with the opportunity to receive all of the pertinent information. Additionally, Mr. Beaudette questioned the current protocol of not notifying all possible respondents. He would like the Council to consider review and possible modification of the ordinance. Mayor Hallett referred this request to Planning Director Collins and asked that the matter be placed on the next Council agenda. Robbie Mantooth, 2238 Lindberg Road, would like any discussion on the Ermis Creek Estates PRD restricted to a public hearing; otherwise, people who are opposed to this are under the impression they cannot speak tonight and, therefore, are not present. Councilwoman Sargent referenced a sizable microfilm expenditure on the voucher list as part of the Consent Agenda and suggested consideration be given to the purchase of microfilm equipment. Staff will pursue this suggestion.

Need for an interim rate increase for City Light (Requested by UAC) Mayor Hallett reviewed the information provided by the Director of City Light regarding the proposed rate increase by BPA.

Councilman Schueler would like to be assured that the community is comfortable that the City is being fiscally responsible for the cost to the users. The increases should be reasonable and designed to ultimately cover the projected double-digit increase by BPA and the public should be keep informed of the reason for the increases.

The total amount now requested is $114,328 as opposed to $95,496. Following further discussion, Councilman Wight moved to authorize the funding for the joint development of the tennis courts and parking facilities at a level of $114,328. Councilman Nicholson seconded the motion. In the discussion that ensued, Manager Pomeranz indicated the additional funding could be generated through an expanded loan from City Light to the General Fund at favorable rates. Councilman Wight expressed the wish that the source of funding be added to the motion, as well as an agreement that the debt be settled if there are excess revenues available. This was acceptable to Councilman Nicholson and a vote was taken on the motion which carried by a majority vote, with Councilwoman Sargent and Councilman Braun voting in opposition. Additional discussion followed as to some of the language in the proposed contract. Councilman Braun moved to have staff review the contract and return it to Council for review and finalization.
