She stated that under state law her office has an obligation to defend all City employees. Gentry explained that currently her office has been paying an attorney an hourly rate, $18 per hour, for about 15 hours per week to do magistrate court, Gentry explained that with the new administrative charge back system the amount of time her office uses for all the enterprise funds and Public Works projects will be charged back, Kubby questioned the impact of the charge back system on water, landlill and sewer fee increases.

Fowler noted that parkers moved from the Capitol Street ramp to the Dubuque Street ramp, In response to Baker, Fowler noted that transit ridership has gone up 10 out of the last 12 months. Council Members discussed downtown parking, transit ridership, and SEATS, Council discussed the budget decision to transfer Ihe $90,000 from parking to transit. Kubby suggested leaving the $90,000 from the general fund in transit until further operational decisions are made. Atkins concurred that the City wouid be better off leaving the money In transit until decisions are made aboutlhe changes at JCCOG with respect to the service responsibilities with SEATS. SEATS Atkins slated Ihat SEATS negotiation process is underway, Horowitz stated that information was prepared, a letter was sent, and negotiations started with the Johnson County Board of Supervisors.
