FY 2010-2012 Budget Study Session. (501) City Manager Ingram summarized direction from the last budget session; explaining that in the Police Department budget the Juvenile Community Officer and Community Services Officers were discussed. He noted that core services were also discussed. On the Fire Department budget Mr. Ingram was appreciative of the fact that Council wants to receive updates on the implementation of the proposed plan. Regarding Parks, Recreation and Community Services he recalled that one position (Child Care Coordinator) had been discussed to be saved at '/2 time and the Civic Cultural Commission and Human Services Financial Services grants were also touched on. Library Presentation Dave Genesy, Library Director, made a presentation covering the logic and reasoning leading to the current proposed cuts. He commented that the goal was to stay away from cutting core library services. Mr. Genesy explained some of his difficult choices and how these are tough decisions that have to be made. His dilemma consisted of trying to protect direct services when his management division has decreased from 12 to 4 managers. He covered some of the benchmarks and made it clear that there were no easy or good choices. Council asked questions about the Schaberg Library and suggested looking into the possibility of partnering with Parks and Recreation. Mr. Genesy explained that if in fact it closes down then there might be opportunities for collaboration with Parks and Recs. Council inquired about the impacts of having one less manager. Mr. Genesy cautioned that this approach will provide less of an opportunity for inter-departmental initiatives and it will impact Project Read. Council disclosed that there was a high volume of emails regarding Library cuts.
