PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE ROLL CALL Present: Alderman Wolfe, Hammel, Borgman, Kapusta, Engelhardt, Kubacki, Madden and Mayor Chiaverotti.

APPROVAL OF AGENDA APPROVAL OF MINUTES - June 28, 2016 Alderman Wolfe motioned to approve June 28, 2016 minutes. Alderman Madden seconded. NEW BUSINESS 1.) Finalize 2017 Budget Goals Director Mueller distributed the 2017 Budget Goals packet and reviewed wage information. Requested Council recommendation on wage rate increases for 2017. Director Hammel discussed a $50 per pay period surcharge for spouses covered under the health insurance plan. Mayor Chiaverotti noted there were two meetings previously held on this topic and this subject will be revisited down the road when we look at HSA and different options for health insurance per the consensus at those meetings. Majority of committee members agreed the consensus at the prior meetings was to leave health insurance related benefits "status quo" until the 2018 budget process. Council recommended a 2.5% wage increase in 2017. All pay scales to be increased by 1% and up to 1.5% can be awarded for merit increase. Director Simpson asked Mayor to confirm that those who are at their maximum pay scale would receive a 1% pay rate increase and are eligible for an additional 1.5% merit increase paid as a lump sum. Mayor Chiaverotti confirmed. Mayor Chiaverotti asked for a show of hands to approve the 2.5% pay increase, approval unanimous. Mayor Chiaverotti asked for discussion on the remaining 2017 goals. Alderman Engelhardt asked for clarification on "Limit One-Time Funding Sources". Director Mueller explained that this fund has not been utilized for several years. An example would be if there was a major snow storm where additional road salt would need to be purchased, if all budgeted funds were depleted, the use of the fund balance would be required resulting in a deficit balance. Alderman Kubacki asked for the 2017 Budget Time line. Director Mueller will again email this to everyone. Mayor Chiaverotti asked for a show of hands to approve the 2017 Budget Goals, approval unanimous. COMMUNICATIONS AND MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS AS AUTHORIZED BY LAW ADJOURNMENT Possible reconvening of the Committee of the Whole immediately following Common Council Meeting of the same date to continue work on agenda items Alderman Madden motioned to adjourn. Alderman Kubacki seconded motion. Meeting adjourned at 7:15 pm.
