CELL PHONES
Councilperson McCauley said the cell phone process is going to be centralized this year. Kevin Morlan
is going to head us up on negotiating a package with all the cell phones with the City. All departments
who want cell phone service need to get in touch with Kevin Morlan.
ANNEXATION
Councilperson McCauley said the Mayor indicated to him that the Department heads aren't necessarily
comfortable yet in regard to their operational costs being enhanced due to annexation. He said
annexation has been included in the fiscal study. The fiscal plan will be coming out later this week and
is a work in progress that can be amended. The point he wants to make is that the results of the fiscal
plan be clear that we can perform the services to the annexed areas at a rate that we believe will be
approved at a levy appeal. It will be less than what the city rate is currently, creating an overall decrease
in the city tax rate. McCauley said there is a margin between what we can appeal on the levy and likely
be approved and where we are presently, so we want to be sure we are including all costs. It is not to
our advantage to skimp on the costs.
