ROLL CALL: PRESENT: Councilmembers Fox, Moore, Rindone (arrived at 6:13 p.m.), and Mayor Nader ABSENT: Councilmember Horton ALSO PRESENT: John D. Goss, City Manager; Bruce M. Boogaard, City Attorney; and Vicki C. Soderquist, Deputy City Clerk 2. REVIEW OF DEPARTMENTAL BUDGETS City Council, City Attorney, City Clerk, Administration, Library, Finance, Debt Service, Planning, Building and Housing, CIP, BCT/NC, Public Works, Community Development, Management and Information Services, Insurance, Parks and Recreation, and Open Space Mayor Nader stated the meeting would be recorded and all actions taken by Council were preliminary or tentative as the final public hearing on the budget would he held on 6/14/94. Formal action on the budget would be taken at that time. John Goss, City Manager, stated the budget as presented was tightly balanced and appeared to not have a lot of flexibility. Staff had suggestions that would allow Council flexibility in reviewing the budget. He then reviewed optional additional revenues and optional cuts. City Council: It was the consensus of the Council to trail the City Council budget until all councilmembers were present. City Attorney: Mr. Goss stated there was a slight reduction in the budget, but that Council should be aware there could be a need to supplement the budget for legal fees that could develop during the course of the fiscal year. Councilmember Moore questioned if money had been set aside fur outside legal services. He t~lt a dollar figure should be included in the budget in the future. Bruce Boogaard, City Attorney, responded that legal t~es were budgeted on a case-by-case basis. He felt the budgeting of a set amount would allow flexibility. MSC (Moore/Nader) to direct staff to provide a three year avecage of expenses for outside legal services and return with a Supplemental Budget Memo. Approved 4-0-1 with Horton absent. MS (Moore/Nader) to conceptually approve the City Attorney's budget. Councilmember Rindone questioned why the budg~:t indicated there was a decrease in the budget as the most unpredictable area of the budget was litigation. Because of unknown issues that amount could increase greatly. Minutes May 23, 1994 Page 2 Mr. Goss responded that lawsuits were usually budgeted as they came up. Because they were unexpected it was difficult to anticipate what those costs would be. The budget did reflect the winding down of the Jones lawsuit, but it also gave the comparison of the expenditures proposed next year versus the expenditures made for the current year. The wildcard was the lawsuits. His budget philosophy had been to try and budget what he knew there would be and if there were other extraordinary issues during the year they would be funded from reserves. Mayor Nader questioned the "legal assistant" position. Mr. Boogaard responded the position was filled by Connie Brown, almost at the status of a paralegal for litigation purposes. Mayor Nader questioned whether student interns or paralegals were utilized in the office. Mr. Boogaard stated he had backfilled an assistant attorney position with an intern to help through the summer with salary savings. Councilmember Rindone requested that when the department position counts were done in next years budget that it be broken down into administration, staff, clerical, and total on an FTE basis. He felt that would help Council review the staffing ratio in each department. VOTE ON MOTION: approved 4-0-1 with Hottun absent. City Clerk: Mr. Goss stated there had been a reduction in the budget due to election costs. Money had been set aside for one run-off or one charter amendment in November. A supplemental appropriation would be needed if there were more charter amendments or more that one run-off. Supplemental Budget Memo #11 dealt with the funding for a part- time position for the Records Management Program. Staff was reconwnending that discussion of the position be deferred until the public hearing. There was an RFP out l~r an optical disk system and depending on how the proposals came in, staff felt there could be extra money in the CIP to pay for the part-time hours. Councilmember Rindone questioned if overtime or comp time was paid to staff attending the Council meetings. Mr. Goss responded that staff was paid a flat salary. Councilmember Moore questioned what woold happen to the program if filnding was not available for the part-time position. Mr. Goss responded there were some part time hours in the Clerk's office and what he tried to do for the coming year was to work it within the CIP budget in order to avoid paying $7,000 from operations. He felt the need for the person to work on the optical disk system was absolutely necessary, but he was looking at a budget technique in order to accomplish that. Whether or not that would work depended on the bids received next week. Councilmember Moore questioned whether the City Manager could guarantee that no matter what happened the system that was started would be finished. Mr. Goss stated he could not guarantee it as it was the responsibility of the Clerk's office, but he could guarantee that the money would be there. He was supportive of having the hours, it was just a matter of technique and not impacting the operating budget. He recommended that Council approve the Clerk's budget contingent upon the issue being brought back at the public hearing. Councilmember Rindone stated the past practice of Council had been to create a Wish List and Cut List. He agreed with Councilmember Moore and he recommended that the request be added to the Wish List which would give the Minutes May 2:3, 1994 Page 3 Council the opportunity to look at the bottom line. He supparted the request, but fi:lt procedurally it should be put on the Wish List. Mayor Nader stated he agreed, the motions made were tentative with all items presented again at the public hearing. MSC (Nader/Rindone) to conceptually apprnve the City Clerk's budget and place the request for part-time personnel for the records program on the Wish List. Apprnved 4-0-1 with Horton absent. Administration: Mayor Nader stated Council had previously eliminated a one-half time position in last years budget and questioned how it was a reduction in the proposed budget compared to last years budget. Mr. Goss stated it was a reduction of $26,760. Dawn Herring, Budget Manager, stated it was basically the same as last year, last year Council took the position and froze it and it was filled with half-time personnel and that was what was being recommended again. Each year the budget was started with a whole and then redneed where necessary. Mr. Goss stated when talking about freezing positions, there were only two positions that staff recommended to be eliminated and about 15.3 that were to be frozen. There was a reduction of what the actual counts would be due to the frozen position, but it was not a permanent reduction of those positions. The City had always been understaffed compared to other cities and positions were added reluctantly. Mayor Nader stated he felt a reduction or an increase should be compared to what was actually budgeted the previous year and not as compared to what might have been. If the economy improved he wanted to take those frozen positions and look at them from a zero base philosophy, i.e. did the City benefit most from unfreezing those positions or were there other areas that the public would benefit more. Mr. Goss stated he agreed with that approach. Councilmember Moore requested an explanation nf the Administrative Secretary position. Ms. Herring responded that it was a position that was reclassified to the Secretary to the City Manager's Office. It was included in the budget for historical infi~rmation in terms of expenditures. MSC (Moore/Nader) to conceptually apprnve Administration's budget. Approved 4-0-1 with Horton absent. Management Services: Mr. Goss stated staff recommended that the two positions in the Word Processing Center be eliminated with staff being moved to other vacancies. It was t~lt that $50,000 would be saved by moving one of the employees to Community Development to fill a vacancy and moving the other empk>yee, on an interim basis, to Engineering and ultimately to a vacant position. The overall savings of that move would be $88,000. The Systems and Programmer Manager position had been frozen which had been back filled. Staff did not t~el that the backfilling of the position was satisfactory and recommended that a fi. dl time programmer analyst be included. MS (Moore/Fox) to conceptually appruve Management Services' budget. Approved 4-0-1 with Horton absent. Personnel: Mr. Goss stated the Department Head was ont of town and requested that the budget be trailed until the 5/26/94 budget meeting. Minutes May 23, 1994 Page 4 Mayor Nader requested a supplemental budget memo on the ratio of personnel in the Personnel Department to the total personnel in the City and 1) functions included in the Personnel Department that were not typically in the Personnel Departments of a private sector concern: and 2) how did the City compare in an "apples to apples" comparison with the staffing ratios of the private sector personnel departments. Councilmember Fox questioned whether the Mayor wanted a comparison of public sector also. Mayor Nader responded that should be included. Mr. Goss questioned the definition of private sector, i.e. financial institutions, manufacturing, etc. Mayor Nader stated a private sector service institution that had a roughly comparable number of total employees. Finance: Mr. Goss stated staff recommended that a parking meter position be frozen which was currently vacant. It was also recommended that the downtown parking meters be replaced over a four to five year period. Mayor Nader questioned where the budget would show the savings due to contracting out the mail. Ms. Herring responded that it would be reflected throughout all department budgets. Mayor Nader questioned whether there was a savings from contracting out the service versus having it done in- house. Susan Merrill, Interim Finance Director, responded that she had submitted a Supplemental Budget Request for a one-half time mail clerk in case the contracting out did not work. The projected cost was $18,000. Ms. Herring stated there were no contract costs, the business was charging a small percentage more for postage only. Mayor Nader questioned if there was a specific position that dealt with library collections. Ms. Merrill responded that there was a Revenue & Recovery unit that dealt with collections. There was a Customer Service Supervisor position that they were in the final stages of filling along with a Customer Service position. David Palmet, Library Director, informed Council that library fines were paid at the library. The collection agency type of work to recoup long term losses would be handled in the fim~re by the Finance Department. Councilmember Moore questioned what part the Finance Department played in the parking meter enforcement. Ms. Merrill responded that the two positions that actoally picked up the money from the meters reported to the Police Department. The other two positions in the Parking Meter fund were the ones that gave citations and they were assigned to the Police Department and the Finance Department did not deal with those individuals. Councilmember Moore felt the City should review the system of where the one or two hour parking restrictions were and the distances the electric cars were being sent. MS (Moore/Rindone) to conceptually approve the Finance Department~s budget. Mayor Nader stated a number of the City's meters were being emptied before the City collected them. He questioned if there would be enhanced security for the older meters. Ms. Merrill responded that she was uncertain as to whether there would be enhanced security. The new meters would be state-of-the-art. Minutes May 23, 1994 Page 5 Mayor Nader questioned if the Collections Supervisor position was currently filled and if it was the position that had controversy due to reclassification. Ms. Merrill responded that the position was filled and it was the position the Mayor was referring to. Mayor Nader questioned how much in revenues the position brought into the City. Ms. Merrill stated she did not have an exact figure. The individual that was underfilling the position did not have all the duties transferred to her. There were approxilnately six functions and program enhancements that the position would be doing to generate even more revenue. Mayor Nader stated he wanted a Supplemental Budget Memo which would include what the City expected to gain by having the position at all and by reclassit~'ing it as cnmpared to keeping it what it was. It should also include the costs as well as the income from those activities. Councilmember Moore requested a memo as to the gains and benefits to the City of the Revenue Manager. He also requested infornmtion on how frequently the City audited the TOT tax, if it was unannounced, how done, etc. Mayor Nader requested that the supplemental inti>rmation nn the Revenue Manager's production include a comparison as to what the City had in the past. It was his understanding that some of the functions of that position were formed to some extent by other people in the organization and that by creating the position it would enhance revenue collections under one manager. He wanted to see what enhancement actually resulted. VOTE ON MOTION: approved 4-0-1 wilh Hnrtm~ absent. Debt Service: Councilmember Rindone requested that Debt Service be trailed until after the Redevelopment Agency meeting. Mr. Goss stated that Supplemental Budget Memo #13 gave background inIbrmation on the possibility of increasing the funds for public liability insurance and Worker's Compensation. Mayor Nader questioned what the proposed $700,000 covered. Terri McFarland, Risk Manager, responded that it included amuunts ~br the purchase of property, fire, public liability, employee surety bonds, and claims. Unemployment insurance was on page 76and Workers' Compensation was detailed throughout the budget as it was charged as a personnel expenditure in each department. Mayor Nader questioned why the City was purchasing public liability insurance. Ms. McFarland responded the City was selt-insured up to $250,O00/case and above that the City belonged to a municipal insurance pool for up to $2 million and above $2 million the City .jointly purchased liability insurance up to $10 million/case. Councilmember Moore requested a Supplemental Budget M~mo addressing Workers' Compensation to show what was going on as it pertained to City staff. He was concerned about injuries within the City, i.e. personal, equipment, or property. He questioned whether Ms. McFarland had been able to get involved in a safety committee. Ms. McFarland responded there was a sat~ty cnmmittee that met each month. They were also in the process of developing a new procedure to review accidents, starting on facility inspections, and reinstituting defensive driver Minutes May 23, 1994 Page 6 Ms. Herring clarified that the Risk Manager was asking fi~r an additional $340,000 for Workers' Compensation insurance. MSC (Moore/Fox) to conceptually approve the Insurance budget. Approved 4-0-1 with Horton absent. Library: Mayor Nader questioned the withdrawal of the Serra Cooperative Library System. David Palmet, Library Director, responded the City paid Serra $9,000 currently to process a portion of the inter- library loan requests. The City was the last library in the Serra System to do so. When costing it out it was discovered that by adding a few additional hours to an already existing clerk there would be a cost savings to the City. It pertained only to the inter-library loans. Mayor Nader questioned whether the budget had been reviewed by the Library Board. Mr. Palmer responded that staff had met with the Library Board and reviewed the budget item by item. Changes were made in the final proposal due to their input. The Library Board recommended approval of the budget. Mayor Nader requested more information regarding the cost benefit analysis, i.e. cost savings actually experienced by other cities utilizing self-checkout. Mr. Goss stated staff recommended no change in the number of hours the Main Library was open (64 hours) and start the South Chula Vista Library at 44 hours per week. _ Mr. Palmer stated the Library staff had proposed 50 hours per week fi>r the South Chula Vista Library. Mayor Nader stated any time the City Manager's recommendation was not consistent with the board/commission recommendation it should be brought to Council's attention. He questioned if there was a cost savings in opening and closing two hours earlier on Wednesdays. Mr. Goss responded the reason that was done was to ensure that there were two mornings in the week that the library was open for elementary school children. The libraries were greatly used by the elementary schools for field trips. Mayor Nader stated if it was determined for bodgetary reasons that the library could only be open 44 hours/week he questioned whether it would be better to open later on Saturdays, i.e. noon and add another week night for the library to remain open. He felt closing at 6:00 p.m. woald reduce availability. Mr. Palmer stated one of the advantages of the 44 hour schedule was that it was a single shift. In changing the hours staff had to carefully look at the number of staff required to staff each desk, etc. Councilmember Rindone stated he understood there would be a perception of the new library that there were not enough books and that it was inadequately staffed. He did not ~el the South Chula Vista Library being closed on Sundays was acceptable. It needed to be open from at least 1:00 - 5:00 p.m. If the use patterns proved that the facility was not being utilized during those hours it cotlid then be reviewed by Council. Mr. Goss stated the Sunday issue was not ignored, atler review the Library Board, staff and the City Manager had recommended against it. Most systems of a comparable size usually only had one library open on Sundays. Councilmember Rindone stated it may not be utilized, but he wanted to give that segment of the comn~unity the opportunity to use the library on Sunday. He also f~lt the Sonth Chula Vista Library should close at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday rather than 4:00 p.m. That would be in line with the hours at the main library. He concurred with the -- opening of the library on two mornings and the later hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays. His recommendations would result in the addition of five hours per week at the South Chula Vista Library. Minutes May 23, 1994 Page 7 Mr. Goss stated staff could not immediately give Council the cost impacts of the recommendation, but would return with a Supplemental Budget Memo regarding those costs. Councilmember Moore stated he would be looking at where the money would be taken from in order to expand the hours. Councilmember Fox stated he wanted to see the intbrmation regarding the Sunday hours. He felt the Library Board was correct regarding the fifty hours per week. He l~lt they should start at that level, even though it was not on par with the main library. Additional hours could be added if the demand was there. He would be reluctant to support any recommendation that did not include three nights per week. Councilmember Moore stated if the hours were lower and increased people accepted that, but if the hours started out higher and then decreased people would get upset. MS (Moore/Nader) to conceptually apprnve the Library's budget with the request for five additional hours of service being added to the Wish List. Councilmember Moore stated if Council was serious about naming the libraries the Council should vote on it and allow the community to have some type of contest. He t~lt the Castle Park and Woodlawn Park branch libraries should be closed. Staff should work with Woodlawn in order to convert that into recreational space. Councilmember Fox questioned if the Library Board agreed to closing both branch libraries. Mr. Palmet responded that the Board did agree. It had always been planned to close the Castle Park Library, the Woodlawn Park Library was an issue that had been discussed and the Board had not vocally opposed the closure. He did not believe they had ever taken a "yes or nu" vote on the issue. Mayor Nader requested that the Library Board's position be checked with the response back to Council. Councilmember Fox stated he would be reluctant to close the Woodlawn Park Library without a public hearing and notification to the residents. He limit it was the center of tile community. Mr. Goss stated alternatives for the thcility were listed in the budget. He t~lt there was a conflict between a branch library system of the County and an area library system ot'the City. lt was his perspective that if there was going to be an area library system it should be done at the present time. Councilmember Moore stated that when a large library was opened the smaller branch libraries in the area were not kept open. He felt the only reason to keep it open would be political. A recreation rnom could be set up with a City subsidy rather than staffing. Mayor Nader stated there were a number of schouls where the City had joint use and after school programs and questioned if use of the library at the nearest school would be t~asible. Mr. Palmet stated most schools had libraries hot did not have librarians. He thought the school district would want the City to pay for the staff hours as was done at EastLake with the high school district. Councilmember Rindone stated he favored naming facilities after places, in particular the city, and not after people. Mayor Nader stated he was comtbrtable in tbllowing the recommendation of the Library Board which was South Chula Vista Library. He recommended Downtnwn Chula Vista Library rather than the Civic Center Library. Councilmember Moore stated Civic Center Library was not his choice either. -- Councilmember Rindone claritied the motion as conceptually approving the budget with the addition of the extension of hours at the South Chula Vista Library being added to the Wish List. Minutes May 23, 1994 Page 8 Mayor Nader stated Councilmember Fox had expressed interest in keeping the library open three nights a week. He felt a recommendation should come back on the Wish List that addressed all the additional hours and costs involved. Councilmember Rindone stated a 50 hour schedule should be placed on the Wish List with at least four hours of that on Sunday. Councilmember Fox stated he was reluctant to vote on the budget until Council heard from the Woodlawn community. Councilmember Moore questioned how long it would take tu get a response from the community and if there was a problem in talking to them about recreational space. He telt the community needed to be offered something in lieu of the library. Mr. Goss responded that four alternatives were offered to Mrs. Gillespie, the option of a recreational facility was not discussed. Mr. Palmet stated Mrs. Gillespie indicated that rather than any of the proposals that were outlined in the memo she preferred to have the space back. She felt anything else was a step backward. VOTE ON MOTION: approved 3-1-1 with Fux opposed aud Hurton absent. Parks & Recreation: Mr. Goss stated Supplemental Budget Memo #4 dealt with part-time park ranger staffing and Supplemental Budget Memo #12 dealt with funding for 7/4/95 Community Pride Fair and a 1995 Cultural Arts Festival. He recommended trailing the reclassification issues until they were discussed as a whole. Supplemental Budget Memo #3 and #18 dealt with the proposed joint use of EastLake High School Performing Arts Center and request from the Cultural Arts Conumssion for additional budget ti. lnds. He linked those together because there was a certain amount of money that would be available fur Cultural Arts and there was a great opportunity to coordinate and partner with the Sweetwater High School District. There coold be difficult choices to be made on how the cultural arts money would be spent. Councilmember Rindone recommended that Council visit the Performing Arts Center on the 7/11/94 tour. Councilmember Fox questioned how the City would expand the Youth Action Program knowing that some high schools did not want it. Jess Valenzuela, Director of Parks & Recreation, responded that staff would look at existing non-school facilities in the eastern end of the City. Staff had been talking to Southbay Community Services regarding the use of Rohr Manor. Councilmember Fox questioned if there was a program that specifically targeted gang members. Mr. Valenzuela responded that the late night program could target some of the at-risk youth. The programs did not target the gang members per se. Councilmember Fox stated he was concerned that the City was not serving part of the community and he was uncertain as to how that would be solved. He wanted to see the Youth Action Program expanded as he felt it was extremely effective. Councilmember Moore questioned where the total costs were included in the budget. Mr. Goss stated the total costs for the program were not listed as the budget was a policy budget rather than a line item budget. Minutes May 23, 1994 Page 9 Councilmember Moore felt the total costs of the programs should be included in the budget. Mr. Goss stated the structure used was a line item structure, but in order to get the full picture the entire budget needed to be reviewed because many programs were fragmented throughout the whole budget. Councilmember Rindone stated the budget was not consistent as some program totals were included and some were not. Program totals should be identified. Mayor Nader questioned if the primary cost of the Youth Action Program and the increase to the program in staffing. Mr. Goss responded that was correct, i.e. direct staffing and contracting with other agencies that provided staffing as well as additional resources to support that staffing. Councilmember Fox questioned whether staff had experimented with fee based program. Mr. Valenzuela responded they had in the Battle of the Bands program which was very successful. Councilmember Fox stated when he proposed the expansion of the program he did not mean that the City should bear the full cost. MSC (Fox/Rindone) to conceptually approve the Parks & Recreation Department's budget. Approved 4-0-1 with Horton absent. MSC (Nader/Moore) to continue the meeting und hear Building & Housing, Public Works, and #4 of the Redevelopment Agency agenda with the balance of the agendas being trailed. Approved 4-0-1 with Horton absent. Building & Housing: Councilmember Moore questioned whether there was any controversy with the City Manager's recommendations. Ken Larsen, Director of Building & Housing responded that staff supported the City Manager's recommendation. MSC (Fox/Moore) to conceptually approve the Building & Housing Department's budget. Approved 4-0-1 with Horton absent. Public Works: Mr. Goss stated that Supplemental Budget Memo #7 dealt with possible reductions in street sweeping levels. * * * Councilmember Rindm~e left tbe dais at 9:19 p.m. * * * MS (Moore/Nader) to amend the palicy on street sweeping tu approve the staff recommendation and have quarterly and bi-annual status reports and directiun tn pursue an in-depth report and recommendatlons on removal of parking for street sweeping. Mr. Goss stated the recommendation in the budget was to reduce the sweeping to once a week except for Third Avenue and Broadway. He questioned whether Broadway was to be included. Mayor Nader felt the motion was to approve the staff recommendation on those issues as they were, but to ask for the report to come back to Council tbr inli~rmational lmrposes. Minutes May 23, 1994 Page 10 Mr. Goss recommended that the City sweep once per week except tk>r Broadway and Third Avenue. Staff would return with the additional information. VOTE ON MOTION: approved 3-0-2 with Hortnn and Rindnne ubsenl. Councilmember Moore referred to the audit on buses and qnestioned the dift~rence between an audit and inspection. William Gustarson, Transit Coordinator, responded that under an audit a consultant would look at the City's procedures for monitoring maintenance and the condition of the buses themselves and recommend any changes to the actual maintenance program. Maintenance was monitored through a paperwork trail. The fleet manager did periodic inspections of the buses, but not on a comprehensive detailed basis. He felt that as the age of the buses increased it would be appropriate to have a third party review the system and equipment. He suggested that it be done next fiscal year and review the results of the audit and then consider whether to have it done again and if so, the frequency. * * * Councilmember Rindone returned to the dais at 9:25 p.m. * * * Mayor Nader questioned if the reductions in HandyTrans costs came froIn any service reductions. Mr. Gustarson responded the reductions were a result of the bid process, i.e. a less expensive operator for the same level of service. MS (Moore/Fox) to conceptually approve the Public Works Department's budget. Mayor Nader questioned if custodial service was nnder the Public Works Department. John Lippitt, Director of Public Works, responded that it was basically under public works although there were some contracts in certain buildings which would be under the individnal departments. Mayor Nader questioned if a recent study had been done on in-honse versus contracts for custodial services. Mr. Goss responded the staff recommendation was a result {1~ a study that had just been completed. He stated he would attach the report to a Supplemental Budget Memo. Mayor Nader stated there did not appear to be any increase in custodial positions in the Public Works budget for the new library. Mr. Lippitt responded the study recommended the City contract out maintenance for other facilities with full-time personnel at the library. Mr. Goss stated there were also vacant positions that would be filled. VOTE ON MOTION: approved 4-0-1 with Horton absent. Council heard item #4 of the Redevelopment Agency Agenda at 9:32 p.m. John Goss, Director/City Manager, stated the Planning, BCT, Open Space, Non-Departmental budgets could be folded into the budget hearing on 5/26/94 as the main tbcus of that ~neeting would be the GMOC recommendations. He felt the CIP and Community Development budgets could be heard on 6/1/94. Chairman/Mayor Nader stated the Agency/Council agreed with the Director's/City Manager's recommendation.
