Discussion/action on allotment of funds for expenditures. Placer.AI is a tool for community economic development that assists in tracking the potential of both new and existing businesses. This data-driven approach supports the City's tax base and helps reduce the need to impose a property tax in the future. Pres. Illum asked whether local businesses are aware of or utilizing the Placer.A1 platform. Mr. Morris responded that, at this time, businesses are not actively using the tool. He explained that Placer.A1 uses mobile device tracking to provide more accurate data. He emphasized that the system does not collect personal names or private information; rather, it identifies general patterns of where devices have been in relation to businesses. Mr. Slater inquired about what happens to the data that is collected. Mr. Morris stated that the data is kept within the City. Vice-pres. Holley asked whether the Council would have the option to cancel the service if they find it unsatisfactory.

Ilum - Aye Vote called and passed unanimously. The park bowery soffits have sustained significant damage over the years. The existing material is a thin, pre-painted aluminum that is easily compromised. As part of this year's park improvement efforts, Trent contacted Westside Exteriors, a contractor previously used by the City, to provide a bid for replacing the soffit. While reviewing options, they recommended upgrading to a more durable tongue-and-groove product. The bid for Marriott Park is $12,105 and the bid for Slaterville Park is $9,820. The Council raised a concern regarding the fire protection of the wooden soffit. Mr. Meyerhoffer stated that the existing wood is not fire-protected and that the aluminum soffit likely does not offer significantly greater fire resistance. Pres. Illum requested a bid for fire-treated wood. Mr. Meyerhoffer responded that he would look into it, noting that it would likely be considerably more expensive. This item was tabled. The Motor Pool has budgeted for the purchase of two new vehicles. The administration is requesting City Council approval to allocate the funds already designated within the Motor Pool budget. These vehicles will replace those currently assigned to Scott Kenley and Ned Allred, allowing the City to capitalize on the high resale value of the existing vehicles and reduce long-term costs. A Ford F-150 has been selected for Ned Allred at a cost of $56,517.24. His current vehicle will be reassigned to Aaron Buttars. A Ford F-350 has been selected for Scott Kenley to support snow plowing and equipment hauling needs. The cost of the F-350 is $67,349.50. The total amount requested: $123,866.74 Motion by Mr. Slater to approve the allotment of funds for Motor Pool vehicles . Seconded by Mr. Slater. Roll Call Vote: Mr. Slater - Aye Mr. Christoffersen - Aye Vice-pres. Holley - Aye Mr. Smout - Aye Pres. Ilum - Aye Vote called and passed unanimously. 11. Event planning and follow-up.

The mayoral candidates will receive these questions in advance and will be given a set time limit to respond during the event.
