Ayes -6 Nays -0 Besco -aye, Sutcliff- -aye, Munns -aye, Spears -aye, Werderich -aye, Golinski -aye Fiscal Year 2008 -2009 Budget Update (ADM 2008 -11) Mayor Burd asked Administrator McLaughlin for a budget update. Administrator McLaughlin stated that the 2008 -2009 proposed budget has total expenditures of $13.3 million. This is slightly above the 2006- 2007 budget. The 2007 -2008 budget was $19.3 million of which $2.9 million was the In -Town Road Project. Staff, the Administration Committee and the mayor have worked numerous hours on the budget. They have had to face the challenge of the downturn in the economy. In the past few years the city has benefitted from a strong housing industry however with the downturn projected revenues are not being realized. Significant reductions have been made to the budget in order to match the revenues that are anticipated in the next year. He felt that with the budget cuts made earlier in the year and the adjustments made in anticipation of the next year should find the city in a good fiscal position. Changes made to the budgets since it was initially presented to the Administration Committee are as follows: • The $500,000.00 owed to the city from Ocean- Atlantic is not included in the proposed budget. The city is currently taking legal action and it is hopeful the city will collect payment. • Contingency has been lowered to $20,000.00. • A separate city -wide capital fund has been established which is a stronger accounting practice and better internal control system. Capital items were reduced resulting in the General Fund being reduced by $180,000.00. • Health insurance quotes came in significantly less than anticipated so this line item could be lowered $83,000.00. • The Police Department made significant adjustments with cuts to proposed hiring. • Discretionary capital items were delayed for an additional year. Administrator McLaughlin added that the budget has to be adopted before May 1, 2008. Mayor Burd opened the floor for questions, suggestions, etc. Alderman Besco asked if funds for the proposed public works facility were cut. Mr. McLaughlin stated that funds for the building were in the budget under the city -wide capital fund to be paid out of general revenues. As the budget was refined, the expense was moved to the public works capital fund which receives funds from developers. Alderman Spears questioned the $20,000.00 in the Contingency Fund. She asked if funds were taken from this fund when a well went down. Administrator McLaughlin stated no funds were taken from contingency to pay for the well repairs; all expenses were submitted to the insurance carrier and what wasn't covered was paid out of revenues in the water fund. Alderman Spears questioned which fund covered the cost of roof repairs. Mr. McLaughlin stated this came out of the Municipal Building Fund. Alderman Spears asked what the Contingency Fund is used for. Mr. McLaughlin stated that $50,000.00 of the Contingency Fund was used for the purchase of land off of Route 47 and there was another expenditure of $17,000.00 but he could not recall the specifics. Alderman Spears commented that she did not feel $20,000.00 in the fund was enough especially if an emergency situation should arise. Mr. McLaughlin stated that if the City Council wanted to recommend cuts in other areas of the budget, this fund could be increased. He stated that the fall back position is that the fund balance covers additional catastrophic costs. He noted that the city policy is for the contingency fund to be between 15% and 20 %. Alderman Spears stated that in the past the fund was kept between 23% and 25 %. She expressed her concern that state legislators are attempting tax cut backs which could directly affect city funds and KenCom will be asking for more funding. She felt the city wasn't saving or being cautious. She suggested that the Community Relations budget of $164,319.00, used for conferences, community events, Holidays Under the Stars, etc., be addressed. She commented that it is great to offer these programs however with the present economy she felt that taxpayers would rather have their roads fixed, police protections, etc. She felt that this account was "bubbles and bangles" and not really spending the taxpayers money the way they expect it to be spent. She asked Administrator McLaughlin to find funds under this budget which could be allocated to other areas. She suggested cuts to brochures, postcards and the city newsletter. She felt if a little bit could be taken from each department's budget it would be better than cutting $500,000.00 from one department. The Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the Citv Council — April 10. 2008 — rase 4 Alderman Golinski commented that he noticed that since the proposed budget presented on April 1, 2008. there has been changes and cuts from every department except Community Relations. He agreed with Alderman Spears that a harder look should be taken at this department's budget to see if there are any areas that could be tighten up. Mayor Burd explained that the department head made cuts to this department such as having the intern remain part -time and cutting the amount of money allocated to Holiday Under the Stars, before the City Council received the budget. Mayor Burd stated that she has a different take on Community Relations; she believes it is one of the most important departments in the city because it is a tool for the aldermen and the city to contact constituents. She felt the aldermen could use the city newsletters more effectively than they do since very few aldermen submit information. She commented that when she talks to people they tell her they very seldom hear from their aldermen and she felt it is the City Council's duty to contact constituents, to get as much information to them as possible and to provide them with a lot of venues to receive information. She felt this was not done effectively in the past. She felt the department head, Glory Spies, was doing a great job even organizing the foreclosure prevention seminar for residents. Other communities have contacted Yorkville about the seminar. She stated that people feel that community events give residents a sense of community and allow them to connect to each other. She commented that the city needs more than police; it needs quality of life issues. She stated that she received positive feedback from those who received the bubbles and she disagreed with Alderman Spears. After Alderman Golinski noted that he never gave up the floor to the mayor, he pointed out that there wasn't a line item for the legislative attorney. He stated that the City Council gave direction to allot $10,000.00 for this but he could not find it in the budget. Mr. McLaughlin stated that Alderman Golinski was correct in his observation. Alderman Golinski ftirther commented on the Sewer Main account and hoped that the city would not get into a situation where improvement dollars would be used to fund operations. He also noted a deficit in the Land Cash fund and hoped the city would be very careful with this fund. Mayor Burd asked about the $700,000.00 due from Wal -Mart for the Land Cash fund. Mr. McLaughlin stated that this contribution is in the Annexation Agreement and the funds should be received after they close on the property. These funds were not included in the budget however the deal with Wal-Mart is progressing. Alderman Besco commented on the Community Relations budget. He stated that he understood the value of a good community however the Council's main obligation is to provide essential services to residents. He felt if residents were asked if they want a good police force, potholes filled and sewers working or bubbles; they would not choose bubbles. He felt priorities should be in place; in tough times you don't "buy a Porsche ". He stated that every department has done a fine job in cutting their budgets and a hard look should be given to non - essential services. Mayor Burd commented that the price of bubbles won't pave a street. Alderman Munns asked for clarification on "bubbles ". Mayor Burd explained that the city gave away bubbles at the Hometown Days celebration. Alderman Spears added that $400.00 was spent on the bubbles. Alderman Munns complimented the departments on their cuts. Alderman Sutcliff commented that she was aware of the cuts to the Police Department however she wasn't aware of what the Public Works Department cut. She asked if the city was in eminent danger with the cuts to these departments. Mr. McLaughlin stated that Chief Martin said he would not make the cuts unless they were the right thing to do and that the Police Department could continue to provide the same quality of service it currently provides even with the budget cuts. Director Dhuse stated that potholes will still be filled even with the cuts. Mayor Burd stated that Chief Martin will hire four new officers that the city did not have last year. Alderman Spears clarified that Chief Martin is actually replacing officers who have resigned or retired, he is not hiring the four additional officers he requested. Mayor Burd stated that these positions sat empty and the Police Department operated without them all last year. Alderman Spears countered that the mayor was not portraying the situation correctly. Alderman Spears also disagreed with the mayor's 'thinking that public relations and parties are top priority for the community. She stated that she did not care how other communities see Yorkville and that she did not want Yorkville to compete with other coy munities in the area of hosting events. She felt Ie taxpayers would agree_ Alderman Spears further noted that employees have been sent for classes to learn various computer programs so they can create publications and brochures. She felt this resource as well as the city's iii- house equipment should be used in an effort to save money. Mayor Burd stated that this has occurred and gave an example of the brochure that was created for the Green Committee's Water Conservation seminar. The Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the Citv Council — April 10, 2008 —page 5 The Mayor also noted that the Police Department cuts were made by Chief Martin; they were not made for him. She stated that she had faith in him and noted that he is comfortable with the cuts. She suggested Alderman Spears discussed this with Chief Martin. Alderman Spears stated that she did not doubt Chief Martin however she would rather have the funds available to hire additional officers or to contribute to KenCom. Alderman Spears noted that the Alan Greenspan has announced that the city is in a recession and she felt this should be addressed. She felt the city should be cautious with how it was allocating funds. Mayor Burd agreed that the city should be cautious and that is why she asked the staff for $500,000.00 in budget cuts because she felt this would keep the reserve fund higher. Chief Martin complied with her request and made the cuts he did. She stated that the Equalized Assessed Value (EAV) may go down if the housing market stays sluggish; houses may not be worth as much and the city may not get as much real estate tax revenue. She noted that on the other hand the city can anticipate more sale tax revenue coming in so it is not all "gloom and doom ". She stated that it should not be thought that the city is in anyway endangering residents. She also commented that there is no way the city can fund another $2.5 million in -town road program and that there is enough in the reserve fund to cover any type of major catastrophe. Alderman Besco commented that the city should watch out for the "little money "; the "big money" will take care of itself He felt that the city needed to keep a line on everything and bickering wouldn't do any good. He stated that no one can predict what will happen with the economy so the city should be as cautious with taxpayer's money as possible. Mayor Burd noted that a program that was dear to her, the parkway tree program, was cut, She had hope to start a program replacing parkway trees and had put $25,000.001 the budget for it. She asked for donations of tree and anyone interested should contact her because she would like to see Yorkville become a "greener" city. Alderman Munns commented that everything should be watched but the police and infrastructure are necessary for operating a city. He stated that if community development, parks, community relations, etc. were to stop, the city would still run. He suggested that things be prioritize; important things should be considered fast_ However, he didn't feel every $100 or $200 item needed to be addressed. Mayor Burd asked what price could be placed on making 400 children happy. She stated that the bubbles put smiles on people's faces and this was important to her. Alderman Spears asked Alderman Munns how he felt about all the foreclosures in the community and the tears people are shedding because they cannot afford living. Alderman Munns stated that he felt bad however people make a commitment when they sign mortgage documents. He felt that it should not be on the city when someone enters into a bad deal. Alderman Spears stated that the City Council should respect peoples' hardships and be responsible in how the taxpayer's hard earned money is spent. Mayor Burd stated that this is why the city held a foreclosure seminar; to help people affected by this. She stated that this seminar came through the Community Relations Department and CD's of the seminar were still available for those who were interested. Mayor Burd asked the City Council to contact Administrator McLaughlin if they had any other suggestions, other than the bubbles, for budget cuts_ The ordinance will be back on the agenda in two weeks. Administrator McLaughlin suggested that if the City Council sees anything structurally or significantly wrong, they should provide input or direction at this meeting or schedule a separate meeting because there is only one more City Council meeting before the ordinance has to be passed. He confinned that the City Council wanted to see $10,000.00 for a legislative attorney in the budget and he explained that he could adjust the Rob Roy Falls signal top accommodate this. Alderman Spears commented that she was not saying she was not confident in the staff however she reminded the City Council that she and Alderman Golinski discovered.the 2.5 million deficit in the budget. They brought this to the attention of the staff and Administration Committee. She stated that she has never seen a deficit such as this since she has been on the Council and she was appalled. Mayor Burd stated that when Alderman Golinski pointed out an $800,000.00 transfer a "red flag" went up so she went to the staff and told them the city would not be going for more than $500,000.00 out of the revenue fund. She stated that Treasurer Powell concurred with this_ The revenue fund is for down cycles and there is enough to use for four years. Alderman Besco commented that he noticed that there is a notation for the percentage of budget change for each department except the Community Relations Department. He asked the reason behind this. Mr. McLaughlin explained that this department was previously part of the Administration Budget. For The Minutes of the Reeular Meetine of the Citv Council — ADril 10, 2008 — Dage 6 purposes of budgeting and managing the accounts the two budgets were separated. This will make it clear as to what dollars are being spent in this area. Alderman Spears questioned the $1,500.00 for sponsorships. Assistant City Administrator Olson noted that it was still in the budget and could be found on page 7 of the budget. Alderman Golinski stated that he did find some things that he had concerns about and he brought them to the Administration Committee. He stated that the entire budget process is difficult, it has been a team effort and he felt everyone did a good job_ He commented that the problems the city is facing are not unique to Yorkville; many communities are having a tough time. CITY COUNCIL REPORT Supporting Local Businesses (CC 2008 -24) Alderman Golinski stated that it was unfortunate that he had to bring this subject up however he was compelled to after receiving many telephone calls and emails regarding the disparaging remarks made by another member of the City Council about a local business. He read a statement (see attached) regarding the incident. He stated that he spoke with the business owners affected by the remarks. He commented that they have moved to the community, invested their money, haven't made any money yet and then this happens. He felt that an alderman making such remarks is wrong on a multitude of levels. Alderman Munns agreed with Alderman Golinski. He stated that he supports businesses coming to Yorkville and he encouraged residents to patronize the establishment. He stated that there was a "silver lining'; the business got a lot of good, free publicity. Mayor Burd commented that she brought twenty people to the business last Saturday to hear a band play. They had a good evening and it didn't look like Alderman Plocher's comments were causing the business "any ref Alderman Besco stated that anyone who feels the city is not pro economic development should sit in on an Economic Development Committee meeting where everything they do is geared towards helping the economic environment for businesses in Yorkville. He also complimented the director of the Yorkville Economic Development Corporation, Lynn Dubajic. He stated that she is an asset for the city and it was nice to know that she is one of the first people prospective businesses talk to. Alderman Spears encouraged residents and businesses to contact the aldermen and mayor if they feel they are being "strong armed" by anyone on the Council. She stated that the Council is not above the law and should abide by the rules and be as professional as possible. She stated that due to this incident, the city has received bad publicity and she felt it was a complete embarrassment. Alderman Golinski disagreed with the mayor that the business didn't "feel any grief'. He spoke to the owners after the incident happen and they were indeed experiencing grief over the situation because they did not know how much power a single alderman had or who to turn to. Mayor Burd stated she spoke with the owners while she was there and they commented that they wished people would stop talking about it and let it go away. ATTORNEY'S REPORT No report.
