A

Hello to all the public that have tuned in um this is thursday november 12 2020.

A

um This is the committee of the whole, which is the first of three committee meetings this evening.

A

um All we have on the agenda tonight, we have one item and it is appropriation ordinance, 20-07.

A

Asked controller jeff underwood to attend this evening. Mr underwood, are you ready to present? I am.

B

Ready to present good evening council members and public I'm going to try and share my screen here.

B

Can you see that all right, yes, okay, uh appropriation, ordinance 2007? This is our.

B

Comprehensive uh 2020 year-end appropriation, we know for those of you, who've been around for a.

B

While we come to you in the fall and those new ones and kind of true up, as I call it, uh the.

B

Different departments and different funds that may need transfers or may need additional funds.

B

uh For items that weren't anticipated, uh the total additional appropriation request is one million.

B

Five hundred and thirty thousand four hundred this request covers eleven different funds.

B

Of which only four are needing additional funds, uh the other seven funds uh are only requesting.

B

To move uh monies between uh major categories, uh this can be broken down into four major components.

B

uh The first relates to covet 19 uh expenditures, totaling 549 thousand dollars.

B

uh This is further broken down into uh you'll, hear tonight of 154 thousand dollar request from.

B

Community and family resources, department, 240 000 from information technology and then a hundred and.

B

Fifty five thousand dollars in various requests among all different departments, uh as you know,.

B

The uh federal government through the state has allocated covet 19 funding. uh We have submitted.

B

Applications for those funds and I'll talk a little bit about the initial.

B

Request tonight and then uh probably in the first quarter of next year, we'll come back.

B

For an appropriation of the remainder of the funds, uh the second relates to the need to appropriate.

B

Move funds from the general fund to the risk management fund, totaling, 694 thousand dollars.

B

This is one of those stranges where uh the request is coming from the general fund to risk management.

B

So you see a 397 thousand dollar request in the office of the controller uh and then you'll see.

B

Later, on a request from risk management for those funds, so it kind of doubles up when we.

B

Total the additional appropriation- uh the third replaces uh relates the housing inspection funds.

B

And this is related to our annual appropriation and transfer into the general fund state statute.

B

Requires that we accumulate all revenues from rental inspections into the rental inspection fund.

B

And then we're allowed at the end of the year to transfer those funds back into the general fund.

B

Specifically for the housing and neighborhood development, where those funds, the expenditures.

B

For that program has been expended, so it just appropriates that money moves it over and we.

B

Basically are reimbursing ourselves for those. The fourth one is a small one. uh This is an.

B

Appropriation from the general fund and that'll be out of the controller's office. That will be.

B

Transferred to the parks general fund, if you remember early this year when we did recover.

B

Forward funds uh there was a fifty thousand dollar allocation from the parks department and.

B

We neglected to include that in the appropriation to move over to them, so that cleans this up.

B

One other issue uh was related to an unforeseen issue, every four or five years we end up. We pay.

B

Bi-Weekly, typically, there are 26 pays in a year and because of the calendar and leap year you end.

B

Up with a year where there's 27 pays, we followed the guidance from our software company on how to.

B

Calculate those amounts and how to put them into the system. uh We did that and then, after.

B

The budget was passed and we were beginning to um get ready to start the year and pay those.

B

First, payrolls out, we realized that it had not in fact calculated that correctly, the software.

B

Company did contact us and the air was identified and corrected. However, it was too late for us to.

B

Correct from a funding standpoint, so you'll see a lot of references to funds being transferred.

B

In to cover that 27th pay, uh starting out with the general fund- and this is- uh is the big one.

B

uh As far as all the informations, uh that's uh in there, uh the majority of this ordinance.

B

Transfers between departments and categories, to cover changes between the initial budget.

B

And the actual opera uh operational results uh for those of you that have been around. We typically.

B

This uh request typically ends up being a net of zero, but due to some uh unusual circumstances,.

B

We're actually asking for an appropriation of 871 400 uh into the general fund, uh the fiscal.

B

Impact, however, is that um there will be 549 000 in covet 19 funding that we'll be able to transfer in.

B

uh For that, in addition, we're transferring 232 000 from the rental inspection funds uh for a.

B

Total of 781, so the actual net impact uh will be a negative 90 dollars from the general fund balance.

B

uh The ordinance will have no fiscal impact on the city's property tax rates.

B

uh We'll get into the uh individual departments now uh real quickly, I'm going to read the synopsis.

B

And then I'll go through these individually, uh the animal shelter, uh animal care and.

B

Control is just requesting a transfer so that it's a net of zero. The public works.

B

Administration department is returning 38 000. uh The clerk's office is transferring money so.

B

In that of zero uh community and family relations is uh doing a fifty thousand dollar transfer.

B

B

Dollars from classification, three services, this release of fund is mainly due to reduction in.

B

The use of supplies, along with travel and training due to restrictions by covet 19, so people didn't.

B

Travel, they were doing online, so they're releasing a total of 31 000, uh so that covers all of the.

B

General fund again uh total additional uh request of 871 400. jumping into the other funds.

B

uh In the public safety, local income tax fund- and this is for central dispatch.

B

As you remember, we have three departments that get funding from that uh police, fire and central.

B

Dispatch uh they're requesting an eleven thousand and fifty dollar transfer from classification to.

B

Supplies to classification, three services- and this was needed for unanticipated repairs to.

B

Hvac and related systems, there is no fiscal impact to this request, as the net impact is.

B

Zero uh non-reverting telecommunications fund information technology services, department.

B

Is requesting a transfer of three thousand dollars from uh classification? Three services.

B

To classification for capital and again this is associated with their general fund request.

B

To cover equipment being purchased for staff working remotely due to covet 19.

B

Again, this is a net transfer of zero, so there is no fiscal impact. Due to this request, alternative.

B

Transportation fund uh the police department is requesting a transfer of fifteen thousand dollars.

B

uh From classification, three services to classification, one personnel services.

B

And forty five hundred of which forty five hundred dollars will use, be used to cover the 27th pay.

B

And another 10 000 declassification to supplies to cover higher than expected uh credit card fees.

B

From the payments for permits, we've tried to go completely online with those uh so more people.

B

Were using um credit and debit cards, their fees went up. uh There is no fiscal impact uh on this.

B

Through this request, because again it's a a net transfer of zero uh parking meter fund, the parking.

B

Services division is requesting a transfer of fifty one thousand eight hundred dollars from.

B

Classification to supplies to classification, three services: uh this will cover costs associated with.

B

Transitioning staff and equipment from the police department uh to the parking services division.

B

Requesting an additional appropriation of thirty thousand dollars, uh increasing classification, one.

B

Personnel services uh combination of uh need to cover additional temporary employees uh due to.

B

Absences related to um coven 19 and the 27th pay uh they're, also requesting a transfer of 20 000.

B

From classification to supplies, the classification, 3 services- and this will be used to cover uh fees.

B

Related to increase in solid waste and recycling tonnages related to shelter in place, so people.

B

Were staying home and so it increased the amount of trash and recyclables that we were picking up.

B

There's no fiscal impact due to this request, as the additional funds have previously been budgeted.

B

Or in the general fund, as you remember, uh fees cover a portion of that.

B

Budget and then we appropriate funds in the general fund to transfer over as needed to.

B

Supplement that department risk management. The legal department is requesting the transfer of.

B

Two thousand dollars from classification to supplies: classification, one personnel.

B

Services to cover costs related to the 27th pay period, they're also requesting um a transfer of.

B

Seven thousand dollars from classification to supplies and an additional appropriation of.

B

397 000 transferred into classification three for services cover the settlement of two long-standing.

B

Serious worker compensation uh cases uh there's no uh fiscal impact uh due to this request, as.

B

The funds will be transferred in from the general fund and that's where I imagine that it's a double.

B

You'll see it twice, it gets appropriated in the general fund controller's office and then it'll.

B

Get transferred down into risk management, we have to appropriate it uh for those expenditures, fleet.

B

Maintenance fund, the public works department is requesting a transfer of ten thousand dollars from.

B

Classification: three services classification, one personnel services to cover costs related.

B

To the need for additional uh temporary employee to cover increases in repair maintenance services.

B

And transfer five thousand dollars uh from classification, uh three classification to.

B

Supplies to cover costs related to uh purchase of additional small tools and equipment again.

B

There's no fiscal impact. uh This request is it's a zero transfer, the cumulative capital development.

B

Fund the public works department is requesting a transfer of one hundred thousand dollars from.

B

Classification to supplies to classification, three services- uh and this is to accommodate the.

B

Contracting of companies to provide services related to the neighborhood sidewalk repair.

B

Program so addition, it basically allows us to do an additional hundred thousand dollars of.

B

Of um sidewalk repairs and again since it's a net transfer of zero there's, no fiscal impact.

B

uh And then, finally, the police pension fund, the comptroller's office, is requesting a transfer.

B

Two hundred dollars from classification three to uh services, to classification, one.

B

um The personnel services to cover the cost.

B

Related to the 27th pay period and against net of zero, so there is no fiscal impact due.

B

To this request, finally, as I've noted the rental inspection program in 2012, the state legislature.

B

Created new rules regarding rental inspection programs: uh this requires the city to deposit.

B

uh Receipts from the program in the designated fund as of september 30th, that funded collect.

B

Approximately 232 thousand dollars for the 11th uh prior months, uh although the revenue is accounted.

B

For in the new fund, expenditures uh for the program are still appropriate in the general fund.

B

As such, we'll be creating an invoice to reimburse the general fund from the rental inspection fund.

B

There's no uh fiscal impact of this fund is. This is simply a transfer of revenues collected in this.

B

Fund to the general fund to cover those expenses where they were budgeted. This has a positive.

B

Fiscal impact to the general fund of 232 000 dollars and thank you for your consideration.

B

Of this request and I'm happy to try and answer any questions that you might have uh on this.

A

Thank you, mr underwood. um We'll now go to our council, my council colleagues, for questions.

A

um And I'll answer or get to you, as as I can see, and I see council member vola. Thank you, mr.

D

Chair, can you everybody hear me? Okay, yes, okay, mr underwood, thanks for the presentation, uh one thing.

D

I'd like to clarify is um how much uh what is the the gross expense of the 27th pay period and.

D

What is the net impact on the proposal? Because what portion of this is.

D

The 27th pay period, I will have to double check those numbers for you.

B

Council member, I don't know exactly what the gross payroll is, because we pay them.

B

Different boards and commissions yeah, the number okay, it's it's, it's not a big portion of it.

B

Because departments were able to save money during the year with vacancies and things.

B

That's what I figured so I mean in your rough estimation, without.

D

Doing any actual math, um you know hard math. um What portion of the 871 000 is due to 27th payroll.

B

uh The net on category one in the uh general fund was uh just under 380 000.

D

Okay, so it's a maybe half of this right, yeah, okay, thanks that helps. I appreciate it.

A

Thank you. Any further questions come to members gambellary.

E

Thank you. um One just request to correct. I think I'm I'm assuming it's a typo in the.

E

Ordinance general fund economic and sustainable development. The department is listed incorrectly.

E

It's listed as sustainability development, I'm guessing. That was just a spell check.

E

So if we could correct that- and also you mentioned check me if I, if I got these numbers correctly, you.

E

Said that we had 549 000 in covet expenses, for which we were anticipating being reimbursed, did I.

E

Understand that correctly and what two questions for that one: what's the timetable for that and.

E

Two, how confident are we that it'll come in at 5.49? uh I the request we we will receive.

B

More than this 549 and we have submitted three applications for payment. I believe we received.

B

Notice today that those had been certified and the checks would be cut, those funds are required to.

B

Go into a special fund and then you appropriate the funds out of that. So the first request from.

B

The administration is 549, 000 out of that, and then we'll come back to you uh in some time. In.

B

The first quarter of next year after meeting with council leadership on the timing of the additional.

B

Monies but I'm very confident that we're going to get those funds great. Thank you very much.

A

Thank you, council members, ken blurry council, member piedmont, smith.

C

Yes, um I guess my biggest question is uh so this has a fiscal impact of.

C

Ninety thousand dollars, when we take into account um the money we're going to get from uh to cover.

C

Covered 19 expenses, where does that 90 000 come from it'll, come from the general fund balance.

C

So it's it's sort of dipping into our extra money at this point in time, yeah then obviously we'll.

B

We'll come back in the spring and report how we actually ended up the year, so it could well be.

B

That it doesn't have any any fiscal impact due to other reversions, but right now the nets 90.

C

Okay, thank you. I have another question. um Should I save this uh vice president sims.

A

I'm sorry, I don't see anyone else waiting so go ahead. Please.

C

In the public works facilities, maintenance budget in the text and also in your presentation, this.

C

Evening it says that um uh ten thousand dollars will be transferred from classification to and.

C

Twenty thousand from classification, four, both of those sums, will go into classification, two.

C

That's correct: first of all, it doesn't make sense to transfer something from category 2 to category.

C

2., secondly, in the in the actual ordinance, it says that those two sums go into category three, so I.

B

Just wanna make sure yeah it's a typo in the in my memo and in this it's that should have say into.

B

Classification, three services, it's the services, is right: the number's wrong. Okay, thank you.

A

Hey thank you. Do we have any other councilmemberallo thanks, uh mr underwood,.

F

Are the coveted expenses? Are they to date and we're going to be anticipating further expenses.

F

Could you could you speak on that a bit uh yeah? This is why I think that what departments have.

B

Done is they've tried to uh one we, we track the actual numbers uh we we've inside of our software.

B

We created codes to track actual expenditures so that we could easily account for those.

B

And then uh in the request, obviously this is through the end of the year.

B

So they would anticipate any other expenditures they might have had.

B

uh Through the year, so they would have been accounted for in the overall request.

F

I see so we'll probably be revisiting this in the in january or february. Absolutely yes,.

A

So remember rallo, um you have any further questions from council members.

A

Council, member pete, mont smith.

C

Yes, um for the sanitation fund, um so they're requesting an additional appropriation of thirty.

C

Thousand dollars right um and but it says, there's no fiscal impact. Could you explain that please.

B

Yes, if, if you'll remember, when we do the budget, this is one of those strange ones where.

B

We calculate the we do the budget and see what the total is and then we we estimate what we believe.

B

The revenues uh for the department will be. The revenues are never sufficient to cover the entire.

B

Budget so we have an additional appropriation inside of the general fund under the sanitation, so.

B

What we do is we will spend out of the sanitation fund itself uh and collect the revenues into that.

B

And then, as we get towards the end of the year, whatever the net needed is, we transfer from the.

B

General fund into the sanitation fund, so this just increases the the appropriation inside of.

B

The sanitation fund, but there are sufficient funds already budgeted in the general fund.

B

To cover that 30 000, so the net impact is zero. Do you know how this compares with previous years.

C

As far as uh the amount of general fund money that has to subsidize sanitation uh I'll know.

B

That we'll report that, after the end of the year, I don't know what it is right now. But when we get.

B

Down to the end, we always true it up and we'll be able to tell you how much okay! Thank you.

A

Thank you any further questions.

A

Okay, mr underwood, I can we go to um the legal request from general fund legal um and I just.

A

Try to follow the numbers that I have, and it seems like. Your presentation is a little bit different.

A

And it's probably my misunderstanding, but can we go over that just one more time.

A

Yes, if you look in the controller's office, we're appropriating 390 000, but we're releasing 50.

B

Thousand dollars from our no I'm sorry, I'm sorry, just the legal department, legal department, okay,.

B

Sorry about that, oh that's, okay! Everything else checked out. I just maybe I miss her. um uh The.

A

Police department is they're asking uh to increase their category one by five thousand dollars. Yes,.

B

They're gonna they're gonna reduce their category two by a thousand and reduce their category. Three.

B

By fifteen thousand, the net is a negative eleven thousand dollars that they're releasing back okay.

A

I thought on your presentation. I saw ten thousand in category three, so okay, that that corrects it.

A

Okay, thank you that clarifies it um any further questions from my colleagues.

A

Okay, um now we'll go to public comment on appropriation, ordinance 20-7, um please use.

A

Yeah, I just want to thank the controller's office for doing all the number crunching.

C

This time I put all the numbers in an excel spreadsheet and made sure all the.

C

Numbers came out right. That was just my way of processing this mega ordinance. So I'm sure you.

C

Have many yes, many excel sheets yourself, but that really helped me to make sure everything was.

C

Was coming out right, so um I don't have any any further uh hesitation about this. I.

C

Actually, council member scandal larry mentioned, um and uh I I found several typos so.

C

I'll I'll email you about that, and we can just do one little amendment to fix those. I think.

A

Okay, thank you, um council, member of olin.

D

Yes, hello, um thanks for the presentation- and uh I just like as uh the person who.

D

Scheduled this, I wanted to uh make it clear to members what our options are here. It's been.

D

A

Frozen steve, okay: well, we wait for council, member volun um and we'll come you you froze throughout.

A

Most of your presentation, we didn't really hear anything yeah, I'm sorry! um I don't know where.

D

I left off, but uh neither do we okay. Well, let me try it again. Can you hear me now? Yes, okay,.

D

um This is just sort of a scheduling issue, so the reason that we're on the agenda we are is because.

D

Any amendments to this appropriation ordinance that consumers want to make that would increase.

D

A line item would need to be approved by december 2nd, so the ordinance could be re-advertised.

D

So tonight is an excellent opportunity for anyone to express.

D

Their intent to bring an amendment that would increase a lot uh that would still have to be.

D

The have the cooperation of the administration, but it would need to be filed by next wednesday.

D

uh And it would probably be taking up taken up next week because of the thanksgiving holiday.

D

So I just wanted to let members know that uh you know this is why we're on the schedule that.

D

We're on and uh it's important to indicate your intent tonight to uh file an amendment that might.

D

Increase a line item all right to to otherwise change the ordinance so that it would have to be.

D

Re-Advertised anyway, I just wanted to make sure that that opportunity was clear to everybody.

D

I think it's probably unlikely based on what I've heard tonight.

D

That's. Thank you. Okay. Thank you very very much. Any further final comments from my colleagues.

A

Council member councilmemberallo I've got a follow-up question may ask.

F

Thousand dollars for the winter women's winter shelter. What is how long does that uh funding.

F

B

Know specifically, but I know it's a temporary shelter, it's our portion, there's additional.

B

Funding that will come in from other entities to fund it. I believe, through the winter months.

B

Won't return to the full council until december, the second now so that the uh controller's office.

Has time to uh publish the uh statutorily required notice uh in the newspaper, so um there won't be.

That's the member of alden. Yes, mr lucas, just to confirm so uh at this point.
