ongoing revenues from the new developments to sustain the new positions. She also
stated that the payment for the City Hall loan would not affect the City's day to day
operations.
Council Member Wilson asked why the City did not charge the developers for the use
consultants instead of the City taking on the retirement liability.
Finance Director Fortune answered that certain positions were funded by developer
fees.
City Manager Duffey stated that he agreed with Council Member Wilson and provided
the several funding sources that would pay for these positions.

Council Member Wilson reiterated the use of consultants instead of the City taking on
r, the retirement liability.

placing it solely on the new employee. In addition, when the City has a City employee

different entities:;Staff has also put in safety mechanisms if the developments do not
come onboard aridthe-Assistant City Manager would not be hired.
