Item 3: Public Hearing: 2010 Fiscal Year Budget and 2009 Fiscal Year Amendment: De Weerd: Item 3 is our public hearing on the 2010 fiscal year budget and 2009 fiscal year amendments. Meridian City Council -Pre-Council Meeting August 25, 2009 Page 2 of 13 Kilchenmann: Well, welcome. I can't believe we are doing the 2010 budget. I'm not going to say how long I have been doing this. Okay. Before I get into the actual numbers I wanted to go over just some definitions of common budget terms that I think can be confusing and as we have grown or gotten -- De Weerd: You want to pull that closer to you? Can you guys hear in the back? Kilchenmann: Now can you hear? Well, is it on? De Weerd: Just move that closer in front of you. Kilchenmann: Now I'm very loud. Okay. So, just to go over some basic budget terms. Budget base is something when we refer to -- wow -- personnel and -- I'm not used to being that loud. Personnel and operating expense and we also use it to refer to the initial budget that we start with when we prepare to start the budget process, so we have stripped out the one time enhancements, we have adjusted line items. For any unused expenditure amounts and we have reduced the wages to actual and we have addressed the benefits and insurance, et cetera. The original budget you will see that term used. That's the budget approved before amendments, so that would be the budget that you would be approving tonight. The final budget is the last budget for the fiscal year approved, including the amendments. So, you will also be approving that tonight for FY 2009. Carry forward. Our amounts for capital offering projects that we didn't complete in the current year. We usually just have capital projects, this year we do have some operating projects that were one time monies that did not get completed in the current year. And, then, transfers have gotten more complex for us as we have tried to narrow down the actual costs of our program. So, that's when we are moving funds from one fund to another for a particular purpose. They can also be called cost allocations. To kind of summarize the transfers that we are going to be doing for FY 2010, first of all, in FY 2009 it can be confusing, because we have the transfers for the City Hall from the Enterprise Fund and the General -- General Fund that went through operating expense and that's just an anomaly of government accounting. We need to show that as expense to one fund in order to transfer it into another fund. We are now going to start showing on your financial statements -- they will give you the cost of the department and, then, we will make the transfers below everything, so you can see the actual cost of the department and, then, the transfers separated. So, some of the transfers we will be making -- we do 50 percent of finance, IT, HR, and the construction manager to the Enterprise Fund. We had transfer 15 percent of the Mayor's office to the Enterprise Fund. City Hall cost is split to all the departments in the building according to the square footage. We have three planning FTE that are moved to the General Fund. We transfer -- actually, there should be 15 percent of the city clerk's office is always transferred to Planning and 15 percent of the Legal Department is always transferred to Planning. And to briefly renew what we have kind of gone through the last several months to get to where we are tonight, one of the main things we worked on was the revenue projection and we Start that, Oh, about in mid April Irying tp get about six months of history for the past year and we will look at history, we look at Meridian City Council -Pre-Council Meeting August 25, 2009 Page 3 of 13 the current actual, we look at economic forecast and, then, just like a gut feeling. So, for this year, for the FY 2010 revenue forecast, we made some basic assumptions. One was that -- one was that development growth will be at or below FY 2009 levels and these are levels -- 2009 levels at the beginning of the year. Since the beginning of the year we actually have -- building permits have gone up each month and revenue has gone up each month. So, we went with aconservative -- I think it's only like 350 building permits for 2010. We are thinking that interest rates will remain near zero and we drastically reduced state revenue sharing tax -- our sharing of the sales tax, assuming that revenue -- consumer funding will remain flat. So, this is what the total city revenue looks like for the entire city. You can see the big pieces of it are utility sales and the property tax, with the other smaller pieces of revenue. I had a question before on some of these revenues, just to briefly explain, development services revenue is the revenue for building permits and filing fees, those things related to building. The government revenue sharing is our state sales tax revenue sharing and also the -- we get rural fire districts that shares in our expenses. We get some liquor appropriation sharing. And, basically, that's about it. And franchise fees are the fees the utility pays us. Power. Gas. Cable. Electricity. And, then, we have some service fees that we charge, like for Parks and Recreation and so forth. And impact fees are those fees that we get paid on building permits that we can use for capital growth for parks, fire and police. So, then, we are working on the revenue and at the same time I'm working on that Todd's working on building that base budget I talked about. So, as I said, he removes all one-time items. He takes amulti-year trend report over several years and he goes through each line item with the departments and the Mayor looking for places that we can -- we can cut or maybe monies we are not using or things we can consolidate and, again, he goes through and adjusts wages, salaries, insurance, and so forth. So, some of the things that we did for FY 2020 is we suspended the employee merit program. We eliminated, basically, all business meal and meeting expense. We eliminated any employee incentive and non-uniform clothing. We trimmed several line items. That was kind of a goal of each department to attempt to trim their expense items. And we froze some positions. So, with all that said, this is our total City of Meridian FY 2010 budget request is the 75 million dollars and this particular graph shows it broken into its components of personnel, operating, new capital, the capital carry forward and the operating carry forward. So, again, sometimes it's distorting to have the carry forward in there, because those amounts can go for several years for large projects. So, if we look at just operating and personnel requests, our budget goes down to 44.7 million -- 44.8 million. Again, citywide, water and sewer is 42 percent. You can see the big chunk of that is police and fire or public safety at 24 and 70 percent, with Development Services, General Admin, and Parks being a much smaller percentage. This is our total 2010 capital outlay budget request, 6.7 million, and that's - - most of that is water and wastewater. And this is like -- this is a much smaller capital request budget than we have had for many years. And, then, here is what that carry forward budget looks like. And, again, most of it is our big wastewater and water infrastructure projects. So, if we look at the 2010 budget request compared to the 2009 budget request, it's kind of what it looks like broken into, again, it's major components of personnel, operating, capital carry forward. We are carrying forward about -- it seems like a chunk of our current budget we are carrying forward much less capital than we did Meridian City Council -Pre-Council Meeting August 25, 2009 Page 4 of 13 before, because of the completion of several large projects. Just basic reasons for the changes. Our personnel increased 1.7 million dollars, but a big chunk of that is fire, 600,000. We have requests for IT and Finance at 209,000. Parks is 164,000. Our annual STEP plan increase is billed to the police, 260,000. And, then, we do during that 1.5 percent increase in city employees and -- depending on revenue projections at 210,000. And operating we decrease four million and, again, a lot of that is due to the -- taking those transfers to City Hall out and, then, our building cost inspection, of course, goes way down, our revenue goes down, and, then, again, even when we delete those two items our operating costs still went down just to a general kind of department feeling that they wanted to trim their operating budgets. Okay. I'm just going to briefly go into each fund. The General Fund, as you know, is we used to provide public services of public safety, parks, recreation, building inspection, Comprehensive Plan review, development service related activities. The largest component of the General Fund is public safety. This year it's -- for 2010 it will be 70 percent of the personnel operating budget if we include Development Services. And if we exclude Development Services it's 76 percent. As we have talked about before, 64 percent of the General Fund revenue is from property tax revenue. We are going to look at some estimated levy rates tonight, but I have to warn you, those change. It won't be finalized until October when we get the final numbers from Ada County. So, the Development Services fund -- a little brief bit on the history, because there are in a constant state of change. They were initially the Building Department and the Planning Department and, then, we added streetlights, code enforcement in 2002 and removed them in 2008. We added Economic Development FY 2004 and last year -- or this year in 2000 -- FY 2009 we took -- we have placed several large dues in it, like Treasure Valley Transit. We moved all those out of Planning to Other Government and the General Fund. For 2009 we estimated a possible expense coverage of revenue drop of 500 to 600 thousand in the General Fund. For 2010 that expense coverage has reduced to 37,000. And that, again, is with the very, very conservative building permit number. 2010, as I said, we are transferring three positions from Development Services to General Fund. And, then, again, to remind you that that -- Planning Department still does hold 50 percent of legal and 15 percent of the city clerk costs. So, here is what we came up with for our 2010 General Fund revenue in 28.6 million and you can see property tax is a big chunk of that. Our next source of revenue is revenue sharing, so that's why it's -- I think it's extremely important to be very conservative with that number. So, I want to talk a little bit about property tax, since that is the big bulk of our -- of our General Fund revenue. This graph shows you -- it's kind of squished. It didn't look so squished on my computer. But what this graph is showing you is what our base is, that line that just generally goes up, that three percent, and, then, what we have been drawing from new construction starting in 2003 and peaking in 2007. Our new construction portion of revenue that we got from -- from property taxes just kept going up and, then, starting in 2008 it just kept going down. This is some history on our levy rate and our taxable value history. I went back to 2003 for the taxable value history, but as far back as I have that like to the mid '90s there has never been a decrease in the taxable value until this current drop starting in 2009. So, what that drop did -- if you go down to the second chart, which shows a City of Meridian levy rate history, that automatically -- that drop in the taxable value, because it was the denominator, automatically forces the levy rate Meridian City Council -Pre-Council Meeting August 25, 2009 Page 5 of 13 up. So, if you look back to 1998 you see our levy rate is about the same as it was now and, then, not really very much change in that levy rate to the last ten years. You can see where it gradually goes down in those years where the value goes up and, then, you can see where it goes up when the -- as the value drops down. So, as long as the value continues to drop, the levy rate will go up and when the value drops, the levy rate will go down. This is just a look at our General Fund revenue history sources. You can see the other sources that we have talked about kind of at the bottom of the graph. They just kind of go along. They basically stay -- we have had some blips up in our revenue sharing and so forth, but not a lot of change in those. They are pretty consistent. So, where we draw our life blood is the property tax that -- that blew line on the graph. And since Development Services revenue and history, filing fees and other kind of basically have stayed about the same and, then, you can see where the license and permit fees dropped. I just want to talk a little bit about impact fees. I'm not going to go through this whole square here, but I just want to draw your attention to the bottom number. What this graph basically does is projects where we will be at the end of next year. So, for Parks we are looking at that. If we take what -- in what we projected, which, again, is very conservative, because of the low building permit projections, we haven't budgeted anything new in Parks, but if we spend what we have already budgeted we will be at about 360,000 dollars. For police we haven't budgeted anything and we are looking at being about 300,000 dollars. And for fire we have budgeted -- we need to repay the rural fire district for their share of the ladder truck, so that will be about 305,000 dollars, after the share that's allowable by impact fees. So, we are looking at them in 2010 with a balance of only 211,000. So, all of those impact fee balances are down. So, now I'm just going to briefly go through the enhancement requests. I have divided them into base or personnel and operating and just capital. So, this graph shows you of those requests which you have from departments, what percentage is from each department. So, for fire we have a training instructor, three firefighters. The police, some investigation software. Parks, the Kleiner Park maintenance and a recreation coordinator. For administration an accountant, and IT programmer, some intern increase. An increase to the Valley Ride Transit bus route and a minimal amount for membership into Sage to facilitate grant administration. And if we look at the capital enhancement request, which are pretty low for the General Fund. They are only 550,000. We have the vehicle to go with the training instructor. A K-9 dog. Parks -- Kleiner Park equipment, Heroes Park equipment, a shelter at Gordon Harris Park. Design for phase two of the 8th Street Park and the Five Mile Creek Way. And some -- basically, the IT is hardware, kind of server storage equipment and, again no -- the only capital outlay that's been budgeted is repaying rural fire for that fire truck or impact fees. Then, the other thing that we have done in this year's budget is we have made some transfers to our savings account and I think these -- kind of things are just things that have helped insure our strength and solvency and prevented us from having a lot of problems the other cities have and that's by meeting our capital improvement needs through pre-planning and pre-saving. So, we have budgeted the transfer -- make a transfer of the Capital Improvement Fund of about 560,000. And we have our new Public Safety Improvement Fund that we have budgeted the three percent allowable tax base increase of 515,000. So, here is what the base for General Fund looks like. This personnel and operating at 26.1 million and this is our final budget request for the Meridian City Council -Pre-Council Meeting August 25, 2009 Page 6 of 13 General Fund at 27 point -- or 26.7 million. And you can see the big piece that police and fire are. Okay. To switch completely -- we can switch to the Enterprise Fund and that's the fund our business side of the city that we account for water and sewer and funding by user size and we -- and I know we have talked about this a lot through the rate -- rate discussions, but we have the operations side and that's the revenue cost associated with usage and operations. Budget consists of personnel and operation cost to provide customers water, sewer, and construction side, which is constructing capital infrastructure through connection fees. So, the 2010 Meridian Enterprise Fund new revenue we have at 19.7 million, which this is probably conservative, because this was done before the new rate increase was in place, so we just -- we didn't take that into effect when this was done. And, then, the bottom graph shows the total fund sources, because we are still using some fund balance to finish those capital projects, so that bottom one with that red pie piece shows you the total revenue we are drawing on. And, again, history of the Enterprise Fund revenue, so you can see connection fees have definitely decreased. Our other income kind of comes and goes and some of that is like sale of water meters that just is an in and out. We have an expense and a revenue, so it goes down when building is down. And, then, our utility sales that just are kind of plugging up there. So, here is their -- their enhancement request and I'm not going to read every one of the Enterprise Fund, but their Enterprise base enhancement request is 2.5, with 54 percent of that being the waste treatment and 43 percent of that being the water. So, pretty much water and wastewater treatment. This is more. I think everybody has this on a handout, so -- their near capital enhancement request of 5.7 million, you can see 76 percent of that is wastewater treatment, so that's the big piece of it. And, again, I'm not going to read through each of these enhancements. So, this is their total operating and personnel request at 18.5 million. With wastewater treatment being the big piece of that. And this is their total budget, including the carry forward at 33 point -- about 33.9 million. And this is -- we have looked at this piece before. Each year when we do this we kind of look at this piece and this is the base operating compared to the operating revenue and we talked a lot about this this year in trying to get the revenue to match up to the base and we can see that now it looks like we are going in the right direction in 2010 and, as I said, our 2010 revenue projections are probably -- are probably pretty conservative. So, water utility accounts in the prior period increased -- or in the current period increased from .67 percent and in the current period they increased 2.3 percent -- or last year they increased 2.3 percent. And, then, again, this is looking at the construction revenue and our budget of capital outlay and, of course, as we know the revenue has gone down and we saw during our growth period as the construction projects went up and now they are kind of -- they are starting to come back down again. So, that is the end of my presentation. Are there any questions? De Weerd: Council, I would also say that at our directors meeting today we did talk about some of this in terms of where we had an expense that is offset by a grant, a donation, or a gift and how we can start in our transparency section on our website, how we can show those are offset by revenues. I think we are all going to take a stab at how we can capture some of those -- those different line items on that -- in that report that is Meridian City Council -Pre-Council Meeting August 25, 2009 Page 7 of 13 not reflected in the revenue manuals, so you have a better picture of it. Boy, this is really loud. So, any questions from Council on the presentation? Rountree: I have none at this time. De Weerd: Okay. It is a public hearing and so I will ask is there anyone in our public who would like to make comment or ask questions at this point? No? Council, any questions for staff or our directors? Rountree: Madam Mayor, you brought up the topic and I certainly was thinking about it, because we don't have it in a transparent document, but approximately how many dollars are we looking at, grants and gifts, in this budget I know at one time in one of the workshops that I have forgotten. Stump Stacy. Kilchenmann: No. The grants is 352,000 and the police grant is about 150,000 -- 120,000 -- De Weerd: 125,000. Kilchenmann: One twenty-five. And, then, like the state of the city is about 18,000. The youth group is about 4,000. And the art commission usually -- they have been -- they got about four or five thousand. We have a couple other grants, like the energy grant. I think that's like 600,000 it's in the works. We haven't actually budgeted that one yet, because we don't know that we have gotten it. Rountree: Does that 300,000 include the -- I think the two CDBG -- Kilchenmann: Yes. We have 352,000 budgeted for that. Rountree: Okay. Kilchenmann: Now, we have like fire, they get -- they probably get five to ten thousand dollars in grants. We don't always budget it if we don't know for sure, we just have you do an amendment. Rountree: So, we are looking at potentially a million dollars? Kilchenmann: Uh-huh. Rountree: Okay. Kilchenmann: I would say a million to a million two. Rountree: Thank you. Zaremba: Madam Mayor? Meridian City Council -Pre-Council Meeting August 25, 2009 Page 8 of 13 De Weerd: Mr. Zaremba. Zaremba: I'm just wondering how auditors would want that to be accounted for. Is there any way to attach it to the normal budget as an appendix or something like that? Kilchenmann: We would -- we do -- oh, you want -- you mean the details? Zaremba: Yeah. Kilchenmann: We have -- we can give you the detail. It's in our financial statements. Is that what you mean? Or do you mean -- Zaremba: I'm just thinking if an auditor were auditing all the money that passes through our hands -- Kilchenmann: Uh-huh. Which they do. Zaremba: That's included. So, how do we report that? Kilchenmann: In ourfinancial statements. Zaremba: Okay. Kilchenmann: Yeah. If you look at your monthly financial statements you will find it in there. Zaremba: Okay. I thought I had seen it, but I just wasn't -- Kilchenmann: Yeah. It's in each department and we are talking doing a summary for it is what the Mayor came up with. You just look at one page and you can pick those out. Just be able to look at one page. But it -- they are all in our financial statements. Yeah. Zaremba: Thank you De Weerd: Any other questions? Thank you, Stacy. I know we have already said it and, you know, Todd lost a lot of hair over this last budget, but we appreciated all -- all of the work. I know a lot of thought went into where we could trim and appreciated all of the work that went into this year's budget. Like every year, but we sharpened our pencils. Anything further? Rountree: I have nothing on that item De Weerd: Okay. Todd? Meridian City Council -Pre-Council Meeting August 25, 2009 Page 9 of 13 Lavoie: I appreciate the compliment on the budget year. We did work hard with the team. I'm glad you guys appreciate it. We are happy with the results. Madam Mayor, Council, I'm going to go over the fiscal year 2009 amended budget. You have been given the pamphlets that I'm going to show you. I'm going to go over the beginning budget and, then, items I'm going to concentrate on are the amendments. So, the amendments have been presented to you throughout the last ten months of the fiscal year, so they should seem somewhat familiar to you. The first slide shows that the original budget that we proposed was 80 million dollars. We have actually reduced our budget throughout the fiscal year with amendments down 3.4 million. So, we are proposing a fiscal year 2009 amended budget of 76.8 million dollars. Next slide here shows the expenditure part to the amended budget. Again, this breaks it down by personnel and operating. Then, the bottom line, again, it shows that expenditures do match our revenues at 80 million, beginning reducing our expenditures by 3.4 million, with a proposed 76.8 million. This slide here is a quick snapshot of the three previous slides, breaking it down by the three major funds that we report on. You can see we listed the beginning or the original budgets within the second column. It shows the amendments throughout the fiscal year 2009 and, then, that will get you to the final budget that we are here today presenting to you. So, the General Fund we are asking to reduce the budget by 2.5 million, which is a 7.54 reduction. Enterprise Fund we are looking at reducing that 4.4 percent down to 38 million. Again, cumulative -- be reduced down to 76.8 dollars, which is a 4.3 percent reduction. Again, all changes from amendments that we have proposed to you throughout the fiscal year, they are -- a few items of the larger items that we are bringing up to you that affected the amendments for the reduction for increase of -- we had amendment for City Hall construction of 1.15 million. What Stacy was talking about earlier, grants, we amend those as we receive them, so there is CDBG grant expense right there and we also have revenue, which negates that is a zero expense to the city. We acquired some park land this year for 600,000. Did some construction on Heroes Park. Utility billing, we had a new employee. Some other expenses and the big effect to the amendment was carry forward. We actually reduced our capital carry forward by about seven million dollars. Hence, the reduction in the overall budget from 80 million to 76 million. And this is a comparison from what Stacy just promoted to you -- proposed to you for the fiscal year 2010 budget of 65 million dollars. And the final budget of 76 million. So, you can see that from fiscal year '09 to '10 the city has done its best in trying to reduce the budget. We are actually asking for 15 percent reduction in our overall budget from 76 million dollars to the 65 million dollars. And with that I'll try to make it quick and painless for you. I will stand for any questions on the fiscal year 2009 amendments. De Weerd: Council, any questions for Todd? Rountree: I have none. De Weerd: Thank you, Todd. Okay. Again, I would ask if there is any comment, testimony, desire by any member in our audience? Bird: Madam Mayor? Meridian Ciry Council -Pre-Council Meeting August 25, 2009 Page 10 of 13 De Weerd: Mr. Bird. Bird: Seeing none, I move we close the public hearing on the fiscal year budget -- budget amendment. Rountree: Second. De Weerd: Motion and as second to close the public hearing on Item No. 3. All those in favor say aye. All ayes. Motion carries. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. De Weerd: Mr. Nary, does Council need to ask for a resolution or -- Nary: Ordinance, Madam Mayor. De Weerd: An ordinance. Okay. Rountree: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Rountree. Rountree: A question on the ordinance. Do we need an ordinance for the amendment as well? Nary: Yes, sir. Rountree: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Yes. Rountree: I move that the Council approve the budget amendments, revenues, and expenditures for fiscal year 2009 in the amount of 76,801,514 dollars and have an ordinance prepared to that effect. Bird: Second. De Weerd: I have a motion and a second. Any discussion? Madam Clerk, will you, please, call roll. Roll-Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Zaremba, yea; Hoaglun, yea. De Weerd: All ayes. Motion carries. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Meridian City Council -Pre-Council Meeting August 25, 2009 Page 11 of 13 Rountree: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Rountree. Rountree: I move that Council tentatively approve the proposed revenue and expenditures, projects for 2010 in the amount 65,076, 673 dollars and follow that with the appropriate ordinance. Bird: Second. De Weerd: It's been moved and second -- Zaremba: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Zaremba. Zaremba: Just as discussion, I would like to add that what you said in appreciating what the Mayor has done in leading this budget effort and what the Finance Department has done. I very much appreciate that all the departments get -- department heads get together and kind of vet each other's enhancements and when they bring it to us it's a document that has a lot of thought already behind it and that certainly makes our job easier of trying to interpret everything that's in there and knowing that it's been through a pretty good vetting process before we even see it, I appreciate all of that and appreciate all the work that went into it. De Weerd: Thank you. Rountree: Madam Mayor, I echo those comments to the Finance Department. It's not a week long event, it's becoming a year long event and another month from now we can start again. But thank you for your hard work. De Weerd: Thank you. So, Item No. 4 is an Executive Session. Rountree: We didn't vote on that ordinance. De Weerd: Sorry. Bird: We won't have a budget. De Weerd: You're right. Roll-Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Zaremba, yea; Hoaglun, yea. De Weerd: All ayes. Motion carries. Meridian City Council -Pre-Council Meeting Augusl 25, 2009 Page 12 of 13 MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Item 4: Executive Session per Idaho State Code 67-2345(1)(17 - (to consider and advise its legal representatives in pending litigation); De Weerd: Item 4 is a change to our agenda, which was an Executive Session.
