Recommendation: <br /> Review the proposed Redevelopment Agency Budget for Fiscal Year (FY) 2009-10 <br /> and consider adoption on July 13, 2009. (404) <br /> 8.4 Redwood City Strategic Plan. <br /> Recommendation: <br /> Provide input to staff on Strategic Plan. (205) <br /> City Manager Ingram provided a brief overview of what was before the Council tonight. He <br /> explained the agenda for the evening and why the additional items listed on the agenda <br /> required Council direction. He requested confirmation that the staff report summarized the <br /> Council direction given at the previous Study Session. Council concurred that staff had <br /> captured such direction correctly. <br /> The issue of a recently released Grand Jury Report was brought up. One Council <br /> Member commented that this was something for the full Council to look at and not just the <br /> Council Personnel Subcommittee. Mr. Bell, Assistant City Manager and Personnel <br /> Director, answered some questions regarding this matter. Council consensus was to <br /> discuss the report via a Closed Session in July but not react to it since many of the <br /> findings are already being looked at by staff. Some Council Members suggested having <br /> the personnel subcommittee take a first look at this and then the full Council under a <br /> Closed Session. On another topic, one Council Member would like clarity on the core <br /> services for each department and asked that this come back via the September 14, 2009 <br /> update. <br /> Council consensus was to approve all the recommendations under agenda item 8.1. <br /> M/S Aguirre/Bain to approve the recommendations under agenda item 8.1. Motion <br /> carried unanimously by electronic vote. <br /> Council then discussed agenda item 8.2. On the issue of the funds allocation one Council <br /> Member would like to have that body discuss options. In general terms and regarding <br /> Boards, Commissions and Committees Council wanted to have data from Staff Liaisons <br /> on how much time is being spent and the cost associated with the investment of <br /> supporting such bodies. There seemed to be Council consensus on getting this <br /> information at the September 14 meeting. <br /> Corinne Centeno, Parks Recreation and Community Services Director made some <br /> comments regarding the funds and how for the last three years the funds have been <br /> placed in a separate account as requested this year. Various Council Members <br /> commented on how they felt about putting this money away but not restricting it to public <br /> art. One Council Member disagreed with putting this aside in an art fund when the Council <br /> has not reached a consensus on that topic. Council consensus was to have this go back <br /> into the general fund as unallocated money just like other departments do when they do <br /> not spend their full budgets. <br /> JOINT CITY COUNCIL/REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOARD JUNE 22, 2009 <br /> MEETING MINUTES PAGE 8 <br /> MINUTE BOOK NO. <br /> Page No. 399 <br />
