Mayor Wilson quickly went through the budget explaining the adjustments and the reasons for them.  Four funds are being amended a) General Fund, b) Water Fund, c) Irrigation Fund, and d) Drainage Fund.

Council-member Phil Jensen arrived 6:10pm

Mayor Wilson stated that there were two pieces of equipment that were not on that bid and the city would like to put $3000 more into the project to complete the SCADA system.

As an aside, the Mayor stated that by putting this into a resolution the city is starting a legislative history.

Mayor and staff recommend approval of this resolution.
