He summarized other progress made with this Committee. Mr. White interjected that one of the areas where volunteers were going to be needed soon was at the Museum and he asked everyone to spread the word. The next item on the agenda was joint dispatch update. Mayor Worrell commented that the Joint Dispatch Committee had met that day. Mr. Hawley advised that the Committee had met that afternoon and concluded just before the Council meeting. Gary Roche advised that at the meeting the County had presented preliminary equipment costs and Captain Meredith had presented preliminary costs for personnel staffing. He noted that there was a difference between the pay scale at the Town and the County that would need to be worked on. He added that a meeting had been set to visit an area that already had a Joint Dispatch in place. He noted that the Town Manager and the Pulaski County Administrator needed to come up with a funding formula for how costs would be shared. He added that once those numbers were available and the comprehensive costs were identified for personnel and capital, the Committee would be better able to provide draft numbers for consideration for each locality. ' Councilman East commented that the County had a deadline they were trying to meet to have their dispatch operational. He inquired whether the Chief had any timeline for the Town? Chief Roche replied he did not think that was an issue. He advised that as he understood it, the Sheriff's office would be moving into the building first and then Dispatch would be moved once the planning regarding Dispatch was complete. He commented that the feeling of the Committee was to plan properly to get the best equipment and service for the citizens that was possible, rather than rushing the project. Councilman Radcliffe agreed that it would take a while to plan this project and he thanked staff for their work Mayor Worrell moved on to Finance. The first item was Pulaski Area Transit budget. Mr. Hawley reviewed a summary included in the packet. He noted that at this time, the draft budget request from Pulaski Area Transit for the 2013-14 budget was $52,007, including CIP request for propane conversion, which was less than the request of $53,000 in the 2011-12 budget. Gary Heinline, Pulaski Area Transit Manager, advised that since the state had not decided on the amount of support it was providing this project, he was unable to provide firm numbers for Council at this time. He added that if they were able to convert the buses to propane, there could be a huge savings. He provided a handout to Council for their review. He hoped to have firm numbers by the middle of March. Mayor Worrell commented that he'd like to see the Saturday service continue.

Radcliffe -Aye The next item for discussion was decals. Mayor Worrell advised that in previous meetings Council had discussed the option of returning to yearly decals. Mr. Hawley advised that staff felt that the Town was losing revenue by not having the yearly decals and felt they should be reinstituted. He noted that staff would need to know by the first of March if Council wished to return to yearly decals. He advised that if Council had any questions to let him know. Ms. Boyd added that Council had asked that the first draft budget be ready by February 19 and she needed to know whether Council intended to reinstitute the decals in order to have the budget information ready for Council by that time. Councilman East expressed concern that surrounding areas did not have decals. He inquired how beneficial it was to reinstitute decals in the Town? Chief Roche responded that the surrounding areas did have decals and specifically that the County had a permanent decal. He added that one benefit was that at night when cars were parked on the street, the police department found a lot of violations and issued tickets. He noted that the requirement for the decal was not where it's registered, but where it's parked. ' Following discussion, Councilman East asked staff to compute the rate of collection before the Town went to permanent decals and the cost of decals and man hours versus the anticipated income. Mayor Worrell moved on to Fees. Mr. Hawley advised that this was a continuation of discussions held last fall. He asked Chief Roche to provide his report. Chief Roche summarized the report included in the Council packet that listed current fees for certain services and suggested new fees for those services. Mayor Worrell inquired how the Chief came up with the suggested fees? Chief Roche advised that he used a variety of methods including determining the accepted charges and time required to complete the request, etc. Following discussion, Council felt that some of the fees were too low for the amount of work required to complete them. Staff was asked to compare the suggested fees to surrounding areas, determine the actual cost for services and set the fees accordingly for Council to review. Regarding fees for inspections, Mr. Hawley advised of a memo included in the packet where the Fire Marshal advised that localities could charge a fee for inspections of the fire code. He inquired whether Council wanted staff to research the possibility. He noted that Council had some time to consider the item before a decision ' had to be made. January 15, 2013/Page 3 of 7 peen aeuverea ro ~ouncn. ~.oya~Jing revenue increases, Ms. Boyd reviewed proposed revenue increases included in a memo that had been delivered to Council. The next item on the agenda was to review the option of Town taxes being collected by the County. ' Mr. Hawley advised that Town and County staff met on the 14~" of January. He noted that it appeared the County was willing to partner with the Town if Council wished. He added that some information had been included in the Council packet. Ms. Boyd stressed that she would be retiring soon and a new Finance Director would be in place. She recommended that this project be put on hold until the new Finance Director was acclimated to the Town finances. Councilman East responded that while he respected Ms. Boyd's opinion, he saw this as an opportunity to attack some of the redundancies and he felt that an opportunity would be missed if it was delayed. Councilman Goodman added that Council was still just looking at the cost/benefit of the change, not implementing it yet. Councilman East moved to direct the Town Manager and the Director of Finance to continue negotiations with the appropriate representatives of the County for the purpose of investigating the process required and the costs associated with enabling the County to bill for and collect all taxes for the Town of Pulaski. Councilman Goodman seconded the motion. Ms. Boyd inquired whether Councilman East wanted her to work on this while she was still here or wait until the new Finance Director was in place to handle the issue?

Additionally, he noted that the Chairman of the Planning Commission had provided a memo detailing the intentions of the Planning Commission at the last meeting. He' added that the Chairman's personal suggestion was that the 150 foot distance be used as it would "serve all January 15, 2013/Page 4 of 7 _. ... ... ... _. nor ~~_~_-:_~ n.6... 4... s~nncfl 4n R_1 parties.

He added that OSHA reportable incidents for 2012 also increased over 2011. Mayor Worrell moved on to Round Table discussion. Councilman East advised that he had spoken with the press regarding a quick and easy way for Council members to give their reasoning on votes taken on any given item. He suggested that the information could be distributed to the press in an easily read format so that the public would know why a Council member voted in a particular way. He added that it would be a sound bite, rather than a large article. He noted that the way he envisioned it, the comments regarding a specific vote would be sent to the Clerk of Council and she would put , it into the format and provide the information to the press. He inquired whether Council would be interested in this? Councilman Kidd commented that he thought the press did a good job of advising the public of Council's reasoning when it was stated during the meeting. Councilman Goodman stated that if he understood Councilman East's suggestion, he wished to provide more background on what might not be said in each individuals thought process. Councilman East advised that we live in a sound bite world. He added that you want to provide information to the citizens and let them know Council's position without a lot of words. He suggested that Council could be polled after a significant vote and each Councilmember state their comment. He wanted to know what Council thought of the idea. Mayor Worrell commented that it was certainly a Councilperson's prerogative to send this type of information to the press. He did not feel that it needed to be a requirement. Councilman East stated that he was looking for a consensus from Council that it would be something useful, not necessarily making it a requirement. He added that "if you don't want to talk to your constituents, you don't have to". He noted that his point was that instead of waiting for the public to ask, you give the information in a sound bite. Councilman Goodman commented that if it was in a single document, it could be placed on the Town's ' website. He felt it was something Council should do, especially when there was a split vote. That way the public knew why there was a split vote.
