Subject:
3.A. Provide a recommendation to the City Council on approving SCAT's request for the City's share of local matching funds in the amount of $25,630.
Discussion:
There was much discussion on different funding options for SCAT. Mayor Dave Bauer informed the Committee that he approached the hospital and Smithfield earlier this year and received a total of $5,000 to go towards funding. Scott Bartels of SCAT was present and informed the Committee that their budget year starts July 1, and this is the second year of a 2-year budget, so no changes can be made to the current amounts until next year. The figures used in SCAT's state budget for the use of the City's building and services seem low in the current budget so discussion on next year's budget need to address that. The Committee requested a new agreement, with new numbers, drawn up on the City's side for next year. 
Action(s):
Motion Carried:
Recommend to the City Council to approve SCAT's request for the City's share of local matching funds in the amount of $8,382 and the surrey amount of $17,248 for a total of $25,630 with an agreement to be approved at the next meeting. Carried with a motion by Kyle Frans and a second by Dan Papik.

Discussion:
Clerk-Treasurer Jerry Wilcox explained to the Committee that ClearGov provides a digital budget book platform that would make the budget easier for everyone involved to understand. It presents the information in an easy-to-read form and also allows the public to go in and look at, or print, whichever sections they'd like. The committee indicated that they would be interested in implementing the program and should be on the next agenda.
