Home My WebLink AboutAgenda Report - June 20, 1991 (77)r -- y OF CI Y OF LODI COUNCIL COMMUNICATION AGENDA TITLE: Review for Adoption 1991-92 Operating Budget MEETING DATE: June 20, 1991 PREPARED BY: Assistant City Manager RECOMMENDED ACTION: The City Council adopt the 1991-92 budget previously submitted. Since the presentation of that budget and subsequent discussions at budget hearings, the following items now need to be addressed. It is recommended the Council introduce the budget as presented andthen consider each of the following: 1. Eliminate the City Newsletter - savings $20,000 2. Increase funding for the Chamber of Commerce - $13,000 General Fund Operating Reserve 3. Fund the Business Council - $15,000 General Fund Operating Reserve 4. Increase the Transit Occupancy Tax to 9% - additional $28,000 5. Provide funds for educational brochures at the Nature Interpretive Center at Lodi Lake Park - $4,000 General Fund Operating Reserve 6. Purchase Flail Thatcher Deck - $5,000 Equipment Fund 7. Radios for meter readers and account collectors - $28,000 Workers Compensation Fund 8. Election Budget - $13,125 General Fund Operating Reserve 9. Miscellaneous Equipment - $2,640 Water & Wastewater Funds After addressing these items the budget can then be adopted as amended. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: During budget discussions and subsequent events after the budget was presented to Council, some modifications to the budget may be in order. 1. Some members of the City Council have indicated a reluctance to appropriate $36,000 for a community newsletter. If this item is removed, funds need to be restored to certain budget accounts to continue to promulgate information. The net savings will be approximately $2.0,000. 00 APPROVED: _ THOMAS A. PETERSON City Manngor CG -1 Review for Adoption 1991-92 Operating Budget June 20, 1991 Page Tme 2. The present budget includes $12,000 for the Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber requested $52,600. Some members of the Council have indicated a desire to increase the recommended level of funding for the Chamber. At least one figure mentioned was $13,000. A $13,000 additional appropriation would reduce the General Fund Operating Reserve. 3. The Business Council of San Joaquin County has asked the City to contribute $30,000 into a plan to promote business and industrial growth in San Joaquin County. There are no funds for this purpose in the recommended 1991-92 Operating Budget for this purpose. I f Council wishes to make such a contribution it must oome from the General Fund Operat i ng Reserve. 4. An increase in the Transit Occupancy Tax from 6% to 9% would generate approximately $28,000 of additional rew revenue. The recommended budget includes an increase from 6% to 8%or $48,000. The increase then would increase projected income by $24,000. 5. The Parks Division requested a Park Ranger position to begin an Interpretive Program at Lodi Lake. Also included was approximately $4,000 for office equipment, displays and brochures. Because we did not add the position me did not add funding for supplies. The program will go forward using existing staff and volunteers. The Lodi Rotary clubs are jointly refurbishing the concession stand at Lodi Lake to function as an Interpretive Center. The City Council may now appropriate the requested $4,000. These funds would om-c from the General Fund Operating Reserve. 6. The Parks Division requested a Flail Thacher for this year. I t was not explained nor listed as a high priority item. During the past few months the Parks Division has been on a major water conservation area. The reduced water has exacerbated the need to remove thatch from park areas. The heavy buildup of thatch in grass areas reduces the amount of water reaching roots. This $5,000 expenditure can omr from the Equipment Fund. Review for Adoption June 20, 1991 Page Three 1991-92 Operating Budget 7. An initial budget request was for a radio system for the meter readers and accounts collectors. These employees are the only field personnel without radios. The request was not included i n the budget as the estimated cost was $28,000. This price seemed excessive. That, and due to the budget crunch, me did not include this in the budget. Subsequent to that, affected employees have reiterated the safety features of having the field forces equipped with radios. The City Safety Committee has reviewed this request and strongly recommends its Snclusion. W do feel ve can reduce the price tag on this system by "piggy -backing" on an existing system. Because this is a safety item, we are short of funds and there is a small surplus in the Workers Compensation Fund - me fund safety programs from this fund - me recommend that me include the entire $26,000 as equipment in the Workers Compensation Fund. VAM we have reviewed all the options Ae will present those to the City Council. 8. The City Clerk submitted a budget request for election in this budget year. The request was overlooked and not included. Funds i n the amount of $13,125 should be included i n the 1991-92 budget as me will have expenses for the November 1992 election before July 1, 1992. This funding must come form the General Fund Operating Reserve. 9. The amount of $2,640 for miscellaneous tools was not included in the Water/Wastewater Budget. Half of the funds should come from the water and half from the wastewater budget. There are sufficient reserves in both these funds to ccver this additional cost.
