BUDGET WORK SESSION Building Repair/Maintenance Administrative Services Director Art Housler advised the packet contained information outlining the options. He recalled the Council voted down a proposal for a Business License Square Footage Tax last week. At that time, Council President Earling requested that staff develop options to address the $170,000 for building repair/maintenance. Mr. Housler explained Option #1 would appropriate $170,000 in unanticipated 1997 cash revenues from the General Fund, #001, to the Building Maintenance Fund, #116. He explained the additional funds were determined by reviewing revenues line item by line item to determine whether the City was on target for year end. Next, department managers were asked to review their budgets to determine if expenses were on target. Mr. Housler referred to the appropriate attachments and reviewed the items that made up the following figures. Budgeted 1998 Beginning Cash Balance Plus 1997 unanticipated additional revenues Plus 1997 unanticipated additional expenditures savings Adjusted 1998 Beginning Cash Balance Less appropriation for building/repair maintenance projects Less budgeted 1998 Beginning Cash Balance Net unappropriated cash balance $ 965,290 310,600 8,500 $1,284,390 (170,000) (965,290) $ 149,100 Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes December 9, 1997 Page 2 Mr. Housler explained in considering Option #2, the Council needed a greater understanding of Zero Based Budgeting. He explained Zero Based Budgeting includes a systematic process of determining cost centers and a review of items necessary to provide each service. He said there are 38 costs centers that J} represent services provided by the City. The Zero Based Budgeting methodology did not provide for cutting individual budgeted line items. It provides a ranking system in which the 38 cost centers are ranked by highest priority (must have) to lowest priority (nice to have). He pointed out that Councilmember Myers participated in the budget review team (along with Mayor Fahey, himself, Human Resources Director Brent Hunter) and concluded this was a lean budget that should be adopted by the City Council. For these reasons, it was felt Option #1 provided an opportunity to quickly and easily resolve the building repair/maintenance issue for 1998. This issue could be studied further during 1998 to determine how to address the long term maintenance/repair problem. He encouraged the Council to adopt Option #1 and use the excess money to fund the $170,000 to be transferred to the #116 Building Maintenance Fund. For Councilmember Myers, Mr. Housler explained the $310,600 in unanticipated additional revenue was in addition to funds identified in the preliminary budget book, funds that had been identified since the preliminary budget was prepared in mid-September. Councilmember Myers noted the budget he reviewed included the funds generated by the Business License Square Footage Tax. Mayor Fahey explained the original unanticipated revenues were $398,000 but a total of approximately $700,000 had been brought in during the year in unanticipated revenues. She noted this reflected the conservative estimates made in the 1997 budget and the same conservative estimates were used in the 1998 budget. She pointed out the City did not want -to encounter a situation where revenues were less than anticipated; there is reason to believe there would be some excess in 1998 also. Councilmember Miller questioned whether the $310,600 was found following Council's last meeting. Mr. Housler explained last week's Council meeting addressed a different issue and year end revenues had not been addressed prior to last week. Mayor Fahey clarified the $398,000 in unanticipated revenue had been received throughout 1997 and the Council made allocations against those funds during the year. Councilmember Haakenson referred to Mr. Housler's memo which states Zero Based Budgeting is a systematic process and that cost centers are ranked according to highest priority. The memo also indicates the ranking has not been done for the cost centers. Mr. Housler advised ranking has been done by categories, the highest priority are cost centers that meet the City's legal requirements, the next priority is self-sustaining or revenue generating cost centers, and the remainder were "nice to have" and did not meet a legal requirement or were not self-sustaining or revenue generating. He said cost centers have not been ranked within the categories. Councilmember Haakenson observed if staff was to cut "fat" from the budget, it would need to be based on cost centers with the lowest priorities, yet that ranking had not been done. Mr. Housler pointed out each line item expenditure within the cost centers have been thoroughly reviewed and concluded these were the costs to provide this service. Mayor Fahey referred to the cost center in the budget book. She noted the cost centers were not ranked within categories to determine which would have more critical public impact. She noted the budget included equipment not purchased in past years, particularly in 1996 when the City experienced budget shortfalls. This could be cut if a specific item was to be pulled from the budget that was not directly associated with a cost center. Training allocations have been significantly enhanced; the amount Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes December 9, 1997 Page 3 allocated per person could also be reduced. She preferred these items remain in the budget and the immediate maintenance costs be addressed by unanticipated revenues. Councilmember Haakenson clarified Option #2 did not provide priorities for items that could be cut as requested by the Council last week. Mr. Housler said the budget review team assumed the services required/demanded by the public (the 38 cost centers) were still desirable if the City could afford them. Therefore, they did not feel it was necessary to spend time ranking individual cost centers and ranking was done only by category. Councilmember Van Hollebeke recalled the testimony from the business community indicated they were willing to develop an alternative to the proposed square footage tax. He asked if this could be done within the first quarter of 1998 or if the City must wait until the 1999 budget. City Attorney Scott Snyder answered only taxes linked to statewide collection (property taxes and certain levies) are limited to an annual cycle; business license assessments, fees, etc. are at the Council's discretion and may be set throughout the year. Councilmember Van Hollebeke asked if it would be possible to present a proposal that could be enacted during the first quarter if an acceptable proposal was developed early next year. Mr. Snyder answered yes, the type of tax would determine whether it would be pro -rated. Council President Earling asked if any options other than the two provided had been discussed by staff during the past week. Mr. Housler answered no. Council President Earling referred to the December 2 Council minutes, "Mayor Pro Tem Earling observed that by rejecting this tax, the budget contained approximately $170,000 in unfunded maintenance. He proposed staff make budget adjustments totaling $170,000 so the maintenance program could continue to be funded." The December 2 minutes also reflect the statement, "Mayor Pro Tem Earling asked staff to provide a prioritized list of budget adjustments with recommendations for the Council's review." Council President Earling referred to Mr. Housler's memo which stated previous Council action, "After City Councilmembers voted not to implement the Business License Square Footage Tax on December 2, Council President Earling requested staff provide a menu of options with which to fund the building repair/maintenance projects for 1998 totaling $170,000." He said Option #1 and #2 appeared to be the menu being presented to the Council. Council President Earling questioned why the specific action requested, particularly prioritization, was not provided. Mr. Housler pointed out the Council approved a change in the budgeting process two years ago, from incremental budgeting and line item cutting to Zero Based Budgeting which uses cost centers. Mayor Fahey responded that the Council packet did not include the cost centers ranked by category. She explained there are 12 cost centers which have only public impact—human resources, training for police, crime prevention for police, the canine unit for police, special operations for police, court security, reserve unit, parks maintenance, administration, the flower program, recycling program, and volunteers. She said staff could attempt to prioritize these cost centers but felt each Councilmember likely would have different opinions as to which services would have the most public impact. She recalled the elimination of the dive/rescue team and boat last year resulted in a tremendous amount of concern from the community. She noted elimination of any of these items would have ramifications and she encouraged Councilmembers to provide input regarding which would have the least public impact. Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes December 9, 1997 Page 4 Councilmember Miller said it was staff s role to prioritize the cost centers. In view of the identification of the $310,600 in unanticipated revenue since last week, he was concerned with moving forward with the 106% property tax. The Council could then consider reducing the property increase to the cost of inflation, approximately 103%, and ask staff to identify cuts to fund the $170,000 in building repair/maintenance. Mr. Housler clarified the unanticipated additional revenue had not been found since last week but since the preliminary budget was prepared (finalized in the third week of September and presented to Council the first week of October). He stressed the square footage tax was a separate issue from unanticipated additional revenues. He explained the square footage tax would address a need in the City for maintenance and repair. Those funds were to be allocated in a separate fund for building maintenance/repair in 1998 and for street overlays, etc. in future years. Councilmember Miller clarified it was not his intention to imply the money had been found during the last week and realized it was the result of some great budgeting. He questioned whether the Council wished to use some of the unanticipated additional revenue to reduce the 106% property tax. Mayor Fahey pointed out the problem with using one-time unanticipated revenue in lieu of an increase in property tax was that once those taxes were not collected, they were not available in the future. She pointed out the cost factors facing the City such as greater maintenance than could be covered by a tax generating $160,000 per year and funding of 800 MHz if the levy is riot passed, etc. She pointed out the 106% property tax is actually less than is being lost in the sales tax equalization. Further, if the 106% is not levied this year, those taxes cannot be recaptured in future years. Councilmember Myers agreed if 106% was not assessed, these items must be paid for in the future, a situation he found unacceptable. He assured Mr. Housler the Council appreciated the great job he has done on the budget. He suggested the budget review team reconvene and make recommendations rather than the Council attempting to do it now. He recommended Councilmember Haakenson also participate on the budget review team as he will be involved in the budget next year. Council President Earling agreed with Councilmember Myers' suggestion and recommended a special meeting be held and staff be asked to provide the information requested last week. During that time, Councilmembers could also review some of its own priorities. A special meeting was scheduled for Thursday, December 11 at 5:30 p.m. at City Hall. City Clerk Sandy Chase said she would confirm the location and call each Councilmember. Mr. Housler said budgets have been very lean during the last few years; Zero Based Budgeting made everyone accountable. He stressed this was an accountable budget; every line item had been reviewed by a Council representative. He observed equipment, training, and maintenance would be the items cut— these are the items that are cut whenever additional funds are needed. This year's budget tries to catch up somewhat by providing new training to achieve the City's goals and vision. Before cuts are made in equipment, training, and maintenance, he encouraged the Council to review the detail for each cost center prior to Thursday's meeting. Mayor Fahey said she and Mr. Housler felt the Council wanted to proceed with items to implement concepts in the Human Resource Study and therefore felt it was appropriate to recommend using the unanticipated additional revenue for maintenance. She said they would be happy to prioritize cost centers with only public impact, noting this was a policy decision versus cutting a certain amount from each line item which was an administrative decision. She indicated she and staff would also review items that could be eliminated from the budget totaling $170,000. Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes December 9, 1997 Page 5 Councilmember Van Hollebeke reiterated his suggestion that a revenue source in the community be developed which would generate approximately $170,000. He pointed out the business community indicated a willingness to review the process and develop a more equitable solution. Councilmember Haakenson said he would' have preferred to make a choice between options tonight; however, staffs recommendations and prioritizations were not provided for Option #2. If this information had been provided, possibly the Council would have made the decision. to utilize unanticipated additional revenue to fund the $170,000 in building maintenance/repair. Regarding Councilmember Van Hollebeke's suggestion, he preferred the budget be resolved now and an additional tax addressed during the next year. Council President Earling said Option #1 may be the option the Council ultimately chooses; however, the Council expected to see a broader range of potential options than staff provided. Annexation Sources/Uses Mr. Housler said the packet included justification memorandums from staff. Council President Earling .referred to the December 2 minutes, "For Mayor Pro Tem Earling, Mr. Housler said staff has been asked to prepare justification for the staffing requested for the annexations that would be included in Friday's packet. Mayor Pro Tem Earling suggested staff provide priorities for assigning 7-8 new staff members. Mr. Housler suggested this be reviewed with Mayor Fahey upon her return and presented at the December 9 Council meeting." He asked if the positions as listed on the agenda memo were in prioritized order. Mr. Housler answered yes. Mayor Fahey explained the positions are listed in the order they would be phased -in to best meet the needs of the, annexed areas as well as to address current workloads. Councilmember Myers suggested a detailed prioritization be provided by administration and the Human Resources Committee at the special meeting on Thursday. Councilmember Miller referred to the police to population ratio which will be reduced from 1.3 per thousand to 1.25. Police Chief Hickok said he was comfortable with adding four officers this year. He said he would be requesting two more officers in 1999 or 2000 to bring the ratio back to 1.3. He pointed out if COPS Fast Grants continue, these officers are provided for at least three years at half the cost. Councilmember Van Hollebeke asked the probability of the COPS Fast Grant continuing. Police Chief Hickok said the Police Department has already applied to reserve two positions in 1999. He estimated the program would continue into the year 2000. Mayor Fahey pointed out that to maintain staffing ratios for public safety, the City must add the five positions in the Police Department. Although other departments may only be requesting one employee, their justification for providing services is equally as valid as the ratio of public safety officers to citizens. She clarified eliminating one position in any department may diminish the level and quality of service they provide. Council President Earling requested any new information developed by the Human Resources Committee be provided to the Council by 12:00 noon on Thursday. He also requested budget prioritization be provided to the Council as soon as possible. Mayor Fahey said it would be available by 12:00 noon on Thursday, and earlier if possible. Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes December 9, 1997 Page 6 Councilmember Miller said at the last budget workshop, he requested staff provide projections for accelerating the Human Resources Plan for non -represented employees. Human Resources Director Hunter said those figures would be presented to the Human Resources Committee tomorrow. 4. AUTHORIZATION FOR MAYOR TO SIGN CONDITIONAL SALES CONTRACT TO SELL SURPLUS CITY PROPERTY LOCATED ON 80TH AVENUE WEST BETWEEN 182ND PLACE SOUTHWEST AND 184TH STREET SOUTHWEST Administrative Services Director Paul Mar referred to Exhibit 1, a vicinity map identifying the location of the property. He explained this property was purchased in the mid -1960's for right-of-way as well as utilities. The appraised price is $81,000; the sales contract contains the specific terms of the sale. Councilmember Nordquist observed the same parties and the same sales representative were interested in the property and asked if there was a requirement to open the sale of this property to the public. City Attorney Scott Snyder replied there is no statutory requirement. The Council can determine whether to negotiate or surplus real estate. The decision to use the negotiation method was based on several factors, 1) the property is not suitable for development (a ravine), 2) it is not accessible from any property other than that of the developer, and 3) the Council has previously approved a subdivision which vacated a portion of the City right-of-way contingent on the subdivision approving and developing another alternative means of access so a planned line City right-of-way can access the property in the rear. The Council originally authorized the appraisal and negotiation because there was no other buyer and by surplussing the property, it was felt the City would receive less for the property. For Councilmember Haakenson, Mr. Mar said staff considered whether there would be a future use for this piece of property and has determined there is no other use. Mr. Mar said the appraised price is $81,000; the sale price that has been negotiated is $100,000. Mr. Snyder explained the City's previous vacation of property was right-of-way intended to access property on the back side. This property was originally purchased as planned line right-of-way but due to the terrain, a road cannot be constructed in this location. This action moves the unusable planned line right-of-way to a place where it can be built at a better price by the developer. Although entering into a joint agreement with the developer for a joint public/private project may have resulted in more money, the Council felt that presented an improper appearance indicating the City had prejudged the subdivision process because it would receive a profit from the subdivision. Therefore, a fixed price of $19,000 over the appraised price was agreed upon. COUNCILMEMBER HAAKENSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER MYERS, TO AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO SIGN THE CONDITIONAL SALES CONTRACT TO SELL SURPLUS CITY PROPERTY LOCATED AT 80TH AVENUE W BETWEEN 182ND PLACE W AND 184TH STREET SW. For Councilmember Myers, Mr. Mar advised the proceeds of the sale would be placed in the General Fund. Councilmember Van Hollebeke observed this was a win-win situation—the City would receive 25% more than the appraised value of a property which has little or no value to the City. MOTION CARRIED. Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes December 9, 1997 Page 7 5. ORDINANCE NO. 3171 AMENDING EDMONDS CITY CODE CHAPTER 2.10 ADDING THE DIRECTOR POSITIONS FOR PARK AND RECREATION, PUBLIC WORKS, AND HUMAN RESOURCES Human Services Director Brent Hunter explained this is a request to amend Chapter 2.10 of Edmonds City Code entitled, CONFIRMATION AND DUTIES OF CITY OFFICERS. The changes requested will change the positions of Public Works Manager, Parks and Recreation Manager, and Human Resources Manager to a director -level position. He recalled the Human Resources Study included several organization changes including upgrading the Parks and Recreation Manager and Public Works Manager to the director -level positions. The Human Resources position was upgraded in July with the adoption of the Human Resources Plan. The proposal is to change these positions effective January 1, 1998, and the cost ($15,180) is included in the 1998 budget. He noted this proposal was reviewed by the Human Resources Committee in October. He asked that the Council also confirm the individuals in these positions. Councilmember Haakenson observed this was only a title change; the job descriptions would not change. He noted the job descriptions were written as part of the Human Resources Plan. Councilmember Nordquist expressed concern the agenda title did not reflect the action in the title of the ordinance—appointment, confirmation and duties of the position of the Director of Community Services as well as the Public Works Director, Parks and Recreation Director and Human Services Director. City Attorney Scott Snyder answered public notice was not required as this was a legislative action. If the Council wished, the agenda could be amended at this time. Councilmember Haakenson noted the only way to make the other positions directors was to remove the duties from the Community. Services Director. Mr. Hunter advised he would provide the Community Services Director's job description to the Human Resources Committee tomorrow. COUNCILMEMBER MYERS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER VAN HOLLEBEKE, THAT THE COUNCIL ADOPT ORDINANCE NO. 3171 AMENDING CITY CODE CHAPTER 2.10 ADDING THE DIRECTOR POSITIONS FOR PARKS AND RECREATION, PUBLIC WORKS, AND HUMAN RESOURCES. MOTION CARRIED. The ordinance reads as follows: ORDINANCE NO. 3171 AMENDING THE PROVISIONS OF §§ 2.10.010(D), 2.10.027, 2.10.028, 2.10.036, 2.10.050 AND 2.10.055 RELATING TO THE APPOINTMENT, CONFIRMATION AND DUTIES OF THE POSITIONS OF DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY SERVICES, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR, PARKS AND RECREATION DIRECTOR AND HUMAN SERVICES DIRECTOR Council President Earling referred to the information provided to the Council regarding the Interlocal Agreement from Cascade Performing Arts District and said it would be discussed briefly at the December 16 Council meeting. As there are a number of issues that need to be addressed, action likely will not take place until after the first of the year. Councilmember Myers reported the Student Representative selection process for the first half of 1998 is nearing completion. He noted Student Representative Andy Streit was on the varsity basketball team which made it difficult for him to attend Tuesday Council meetings. Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes December 9, 1997 Page 8 COUNCILMEMBER MYERS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER VAN HOLLEBEKE, TO EXCUSE COUNCILMEMBER WHITE FROM THE DECEMBER 2 COUNCIL MEETING. MOTION CARRIED, COUNCILMEMBER WHITE ABSTAINED. Councilmember Myers asked if any progress had been made on the vacation of 237th Street in Woodway Meadows. City Attorney Scott Snyder said he provided a draft resolution to staff. It was agreed this issue would be placed on the December 16 agenda. 6. EXECUTIVE SESSION REGARDING A REAL ESTATE MATTER At 8:35 p.m., Mayor Fahey adjourned the Council to Executive Session regarding a real estate matter for approximately 15 minutes. She advised the Council would adjourn to committee meetings following Executive Session. BARBARA S, FAHEY, MAYOR SANDRA S. CHASE.a..CITY CLERK. Edmonds City Council Approved.
