H-8 ADDED ITEM - Task Force for Capital Improvement
Projects, Procedures for Payment
Councilwoman Bailie. It was suggested by Councilman
Measles to have an initiative on the October ballot to
vote on the process for regulating procedures for
capital improvement projects. Clerk Ruotsala said the
ballot proposition must be in and approved by Council
by August 17. The instructions must be specific
regarding functions. We need as much support as
possible from Administration, including a secretary,
attendance at meetings by City Manager Brighton &
Public Works Director Kornelis, and a record of prior
action by the City. She suggested:
Duane Quellette - Eagle Rock
Dale Sandahl - Thompson Park S/D
Don St. John - VIP S/D
Frank Getty - Candlelight Area
Leon Quesnel - Woodland S/D
Colleen Ward, Flo Mccollum, Rick Baldwin -
McCollum Area
She asked that they all be contacted to see if they are
willing. Ron Malston is willing to serve, but will not
be back till Aug. 17. She suggested Councilman Measles
as Ad Hoc member. Councilwoman O'Reilly asked, what
will they come up with and will there be enough time?
Council agreed to schedule the election to coincide
with the Nov. 8 State and Federal election.
MOTION:
Councilwoman Swarner moved, seconded by Councilwoman
Bailie, to go ahead with the task force.
Councilwoman Monfor said it should be developed without
loaded questions and be a cross section. Councilwoman
Bailie said this will come up again, it needs to be
settled once and for all so Council will not be faced
with this again. The committee could come up with
suggestions to put on the ballot. Councilwoman
O'Reilly said the task force will come up with
recommendations regarding how this will be done. It
will be a yes or no. Clerk Ruotsala asked if Council
wanted this to be a Charter amendment or just a policy
vote. Councilwoman Bailie replied, the committee will

decide. Councilwoman Swarner said the task force
should have an answer by the middle of Sept.
Councilwoman Bailie suggested the task force elect
their own chairman.
VOTE:
Vote passed unanimously by roll call vote.
Councilwoman Bailie asked that this be set up as soon
as possible. Clerk Ruotsala will handle it.
Councilman McComsey asked if the motion included the
names recommended. Councilwoman Bailie replied, yes.
Councilman McComsey noted he would like to add others.
Councilwoman Monfor said it should be open to the
public. A representative from the committee or
Councilman Measles could give the report. Finance
Director Brown asked, is the purpose of the task force
to come up with fair wording on the ballot or their
preference? Councilwoman Monfor replied, fair wording.
Finance Director Brown said, Council is not asking them
to come up with recommendations, this is not
compatible. Councilwoman Bailie replied, they are
coming to a decision regarding the task. It will be
voted on by the group. Councilwoman O'Reilly said the
job of the task force is to come up with a fair way to
pay for capital improvement projects. The wording for
the ballot would be by Administration. Finance
Director Brown added, a recommendation as to how the
financing will take place. Council agreed to the
statements. Councilwoman Monfor said someone will have
to explain how this will be done, probably
Administration.
