Fleet Management
Council Member Crescimbeni
stated that he met recently with the Fleet Management Division managers and
understands that the division meets on a monthly basis with representatives of
the Sheriff’s Office to discuss any fleet-related issues, so he is at a loss to
understand how reports of problems continue to be raised. He plans to attend the next joint meeting of
the two departments in two weeks and will have a better understanding of the
situation after that.
JSO jail inmate health
program
Costs have gone down since
the City discontinued its private provider contract and brought inmate health
care service in-house.
Pension actuarial study
impacts
Jessica Deal of the Mayor’s
Office distributed a list of additional departmental reductions that will be
made as a result of the decision not to defer the pension actuarial study,
thereby incurring additional pension contribution costs that must be offset
with further spending cuts.
Vacant position update
The Auditor’s Office reported
that a further review of the position vacancy list distributed at the last
meeting identified only 3 General Fund positions that are funded and have been
vacant for more than a year. In response
to a question about whether positions are being kept vacant with the intention
of using them to accommodate employees being laid off from other deleted
positions, Jessica Deal of the Mayor’s Office stated that she did not have
sufficient information to be able to answer the question.
MPS parking garages
purchase
Kyle Billy of the Council
Auditor’s office explained the City’s buyout option for the three MPS-owned
garages (courthouse, arena and sports complex) which must be exercised by
December 31, 2011 to obtain the lowest price for the buyout. Purchasing the garages after the December 31
deadline would cost an additional $4 million.
The City currently spends about $4 million per year to subsidize MPS’s
losses on operating the garages and that money won’t be repaid until MPS begins
generating positive cash flow, which won’t happen until the bonds are paid off
in another 20 years. The Northabank Tax
Increment District is pledged funding source for the subsidy, but since that
fund is already over-subscribed with other uses the General Fund is making up
the shortfall. The committee engaged in
considerable discussion about the finances and operations of the garages and
what impact the opening of the new courthouse will have on the courthouse garage’s
revenues. Jessica Deal stated that
year-end deadline means the decision doesn’t have to be made concurrently with
the budget adoption; the new administration would appreciate more time to
analyze the deal and make the best choice.
City Council contingencies
Will be discussed at an
upcoming Personnel Committee meeting.
Banking Fund
Kirk Sherman recommended
amended the Ordinance Code to change the minimum threshold for Banking Fund
borrowing to items/projects with a minimum price of $50,000 and an expected
lifespan of at least 5 years (up from the current $1,000 and 1 year).
Motion
(Jones): approve the Auditor’s recommended Code amendments – approved.
Pay-as-you-go funding
The committee discussed the
aspirational goal of dedicating the equivalent of 1 mill (currently about $45
million) to pay-as-you-go financing of recurring capital projects and
maintenance rather than borrowing for those recurring needs. Chairman Clark stated that with $15 million
in pay/go in the General Fund and $11 million in the stormwater utility fund
(admittedly not in the General Fund, but symbolic of the committee’s efforts to
reach the goal), the proposed budget is making a substantial effort.
Motion (
JEA incentive pay policy
Mr. Clark stated that the JEA
board will be meeting next week and will consider the Finance Committee’s
request for a written commitment of the JEA not to grant incentive pay
increases in years in which utility rates are increased.
Library
Council Member Crescimbeni
stated his opposition to closing libraries one day a week and stated that the
Finance Committee’s $2.1 million cut when combined with the impact of the
additional pension contribution obligations on top of the original proposed
budget reductions will amount to a 10% cut in the library’s budget. He noted that the library can’t control the
internal service charges from ITD or the indirect cost calculation so they are
at the mercy of outside forces and are left with very difficult decisions.
Motion
(Crescimbeni): rescind the Finance Committee’s $2.1 million reduction to the
library budget – failed.
Sheriff’s Office
Sheriff Rutherford said that
he understood the committee’s action from last week cut his budget by $4.4
million, with $2.2 million being put in a designated Sheriff’s contingency fund
to be restored if either the COPS grant or the union 2% pay cut concession come
to pass, and the other $2.2 million being put in the Council’s Special
Contingency Fund for any potential use.
The Sheriff asked that all $4.4 million in reductions be placed in the
designated contingency fund for his department so he can be sure that it will
be restored if the contingencies come to fruition. Chairman Clark stated that the committee had
just voted to use $3.9 million from the Special Council Contingency Fund to do
road maintenance on a pay/go basis, so there would be no restoration of $2.2
million to the Sheriff’s Office under any circumstance. Sheriff Rutherford stated that he would be
laying off at least 50 officers as a result beginning October 1st,
and the City Council would own the consequences of that cut. Mr. Clark told the Sheriff that the
implementation of the reductions was within his purview and he could choose to
eliminate civilian positions or other expenditures rather than officers on the
street.
