5. Suggestions were made that there be several signatures, from City's leadership, on paperwork generated by
fiscal model before being presented to Council. Future decisions about the City will be made, and
information generated by the fiscal model will be heavily relied upon to make these decisions. The Board
would like to be certain that the information has been reviewed very closely beforehand.
6. What does the $120,000.00 include and will there be a yearly cost for this model?
Julie Herlands, David Morgan, Laurie Brewer, and Wayne Reed assured the Board that a policy will be put into
place that controls the model's usage, including where the "Master Copy" is securely stored and who has the
access to it. It was stated that only certain employees within the City will be trained on how to use the model
and that it will be updated on a continual basis, with the most up-to-date information.
The cost of the fiscal model is $108,000.00. The City owns it outright once it is purchased. The additional
$12,000 (for the total of the $120,000.00 available) will be monies used for additional maintenance on the
model, if needed. TischlerBise is available after the sale of the model for updates, creating areas for additional
information, and any other areas of concern where their services may be provided to the City.
Overall, the consensus of the Board and the City staff was that this fiscal model will be extremely helpful and
an important tool in the growth and development in the City for the years to come.
No action need from the Board.
