,Budget
Finance Manager Bursheim provided an overview of the Capital Improvement Plan, operating
budget, tax levy and tax impacts.
Creek Center Manager Fleck discussed options for the Plymouth Historical Society. He noted
that at the September 12 study session, members of the Plymouth Historical Society requested
the City take over management and general operations beginning in 2018. Current members of
the Plymouth Historical Society would assume an advisory role starting in 2018. The majority of
the Council stated they support Option 1 as noted in the staff report, which would be a joint
partnership. This would be a collaborative model where the Plymouth Historical Society would
remain for the benefit of donations, grants, membership, historical preservation and knowledge.
The City would contribute by funding a part-time position to operate, program, work with
volunteers, write grants, digitize information and evaluate the operation as a whole.
City Manager Callister provided 2018-2027 projections/cash flows for the street reconstruction
and park replacement levies. He also discussed with the Council the property tax levy for 2018.
The majority of the Council stated they support shifting $500,000 from the street reconstruction
levy to the park replacement levy starting in 2018 and a 4.7% property tax levy for 2018.
Future Study Sessions
The Council scheduled a study session on February 13, 2018 at 5:30 p.m. to discuss state of the
