NOTE:  Due to the President’s Holiday, the next regular meeting will be held Wednesday, February 20, 2013.

 

Council Auditor Kirk Sherman made a presentation to the committee of the highlights of the FY11-12 year-end budget wrap-up.  The City’s General Fund revenues fell $11.6 million short of budget, but that was more than offset by expenditure reductions of $19.5 million below budget, in addition to the $10.5 million in Sheriff’s Office budget reductions approved by a previous ordinance.  The largest revenue shortfalls came in the areas of franchise fees ($3.6 million), utility service tax ($9.3 million), and state shared revenue (primarily sales tax - $3 million).  Public safety revenue (fire inspection fees and ambulance transport fees) was up $5.9 million over budget.  The largest expenditure reductions were in the Fire and Rescue Department ($4.5 million), Sheriff’s Office ($4.7 million), and the Public Works Department ($4.8 million).  Council Member Boyer requested information on how much of the expenditure reductions was attributable to reduced employee expenditures (salary and benefits) and how much was in other types of savings. The anticipated year-end surplus of $3.9 million for FY11-12 actually ended up at $11.4 million due to the mid-year reduction of expenditures.

Bill Summary

 

R:  Amend/Approve

 

The committee discussed at length the rationale for the bill and the merits of making it an Ordinance Code requirement versus a standing policy or non-codified ordinance.  Public Works Director Jim Robinson stated that his department is in the process of preparing to issue an RFP for a consultant to consolidate, organize and analyze all of the City’s property records and holdings, a process expected to take about 6 months.  The City owns approximately 5,000 parcels of property and the records are not in a single, uniform database.  Council Member Gulliford made  a motion (subsequently withdrawn) that the ordinance be amended to include a similar provision regarding vacant property, so as to prohibit the purchase of new property for project purposes when vacant land already exists in the City inventory that would be suitable for the purpose.  Council Member Brown asked for information on the current occupancy rate (percentage of space occupied) in City buildings.

Jeff Foster, Chief of the Solid Waste Division, suggested that a higher priority be placed on utilizing the consultant to produce an overall brownfields assessment plan rather than making application for grants for specific sites.  He noted that acceptance of brownfield grant money for studies that determine where contamination exists may subject the City to liability to subsequently clean up the contamination that was discovered, at its own expense if other grant resources can’t be found.  Chairman Crescimbeni asked Council Member Brown to meet with the Mayor’s Office and Office of General Counsel to work out a proposal for the next committee meeting.

Chairman Crescimbeni stated that at the next meeting the committee will hear a presentation from City Treasurer Joey Grieve and Terry Wood of the General Employees Pension Plan board of trustees on the investments of the GEPP.

 

Council Member Boyer asked the committee for input on her proposals to change the Public Service Grant application process.  Decisions to be made include: should more dollars be allocated to fewer agencies or smaller amounts to more agencies?  Should the City use a grant application process or an RFP process?  Payment via monthly draws, quarterly draws in arrears, or payment in advance?  Multi-year funding or single year funding?
