V. Other business
1. Possible changes to project scope/timing – Newbury Street (Phase 2) - (Staff note: Mayor Kramer suggested postponing the second half of the Newbury Street project for one year, allowing time for further study. Public Works Director Drake suggested doing the project in 2009, but not replacing sidewalks, thus reducing the cost and saving more trees. We will evaluate these options, along with the original plan.)
2. Resolution – carrying over certain unspent funds from 2008 budget - (Staff note: In accordance with the Ripon Municipal Code, all unspent funds at the end of the year revert to the general fund, unless otherwise designated. The attached resolution has been prepared to carry forward certain unused monies from 2008 for use in 2009.)
3. Further discussion/adoption of the City’s 2009 workplan and timetable - (Staff note: On January 13th, Mayor Kramer presented his list of 2009 goals, and others were asked to submit items prior to the next meeting. Attached is a list of the Mayor’s and City Administrator’s goals, with timelines included, for your review and consideration.)
