The next Council meeting will include an item to repeal Southeast Quadrant Interim Zoning. The 15 May meeting will include a study on the bike path, and the 3 June meeting will include a report on the Library space needs study. 3. Consideration of Proposal for Cash Management Services: Ms. Kinville said that cash control have been tightened up. They have also placed funds so as to get better interest rates. She noted that the City has never gone out for an RFQ on cash management services. The hope would be to find ways to get more interest. When bids were invited for such services, only 3 institutions showed up at the pre-bid conference (Citizens Bank, Bank North, and Chittenden). Bids were opened on 15 March, and bidders were invited to give a half-hour presentation. Ms. Kinville said Citizens Bank would not require any reserve, so all funds would earn interest. There would also be the ability to make a deposit from the office via technology. This would be great at tax time. The bank would provide the needed scanning machine. There are no service charges, so essentially this would be a free checking account. The recommendation is, therefore, to go with Citizens. Ms. Kinville also noted that community members have asked about the possibility of paying taxes, etc., via credit car. As of July, this will be an option. There will be no fees or cost to the city, and citizens will be told that they pay the fee. Mr. Smith moved to accept the proposal from Citizens Bank as presented. Mr. Boucher seconded. Motion passed unanimously. 4.
