Description
No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
Now
we're
ready.
Okay,
I
want
to
welcome
everybody
to
the
May,
2nd
of
actually
the
first
budget
review
hearing
of
the
mayor's
recommended,
FY
18
budget
and
and
we
are
going
to
we're
going
to
operate
the
exact
same
way.
We
have
this
last
several
years,
will
we'll
get
updates
on
certain
departments
and
any
of
the
department
heads
that
want
to
appear
before
the
budget
review
committee
are
certainly
encouraged
to
do
so.
A
A
It's
very
lean
budget,
mare
and
and
the
staff
have
done
a
I
think
of
a
very
good
job,
just
based
on
on
a
30,000
foot
view
of
it
wasn't
a
whole
lot
of
wiggle
room.
So
I
think
this
group
needs
to
be
prepared
to
offer
up
offsetting
cuts
if
there's
any
additional
any
additional
expenditures
being
made.
So
with
that
in
mind,
I'm
not
sure
this
is
not
popping
up
so
I
can
we
turn
Angelica's
mic
on
there?
We
go.
Oh.
B
B
B
The
agenda
for
today
is
the
FY
budget,
FY
18
budget
overview.
The
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
our
benefits
consultant
Shah
hankins.
They
will
provide
us
with
an
Healthcare
update
deputy
city
manager.
Pam
Hyde
will
provide
us
with
the
transportation
project
update
and
the
only
Department
presentation
we
have
on
the
schedule
today
is
for
the
marshal's
office.
Okay,
so
just
getting
into
the
FY
18
recommended
budget
overview
just
the
agenda.
B
B
B
Council
will
have
to
take
a
vote
on
as
I
stated
just
a
second
ago
in
June
we
publish
notices
in
the
newspaper
for
public
comment.
We
advertise
the
public
hearings
for,
as
required
by
state
law
for
the
taxpayer
Bill
of
Rights,
and
then
there
is
the
first
and
second
reading
of
the
budget
and
millage
ordinances.
So.
B
Just
in
totality
here,
the
FY
18
operating
fund
has
a
proposed
revenue
of
267
million
six
hundred
fifty-seven
thousand
and
thirteen
dollars.
Expenditures
are
proposed
of
267
million
six
hundred
ninety
three
thousand
four
hundred
and
fifty
five
dollars
with
the
use
of
fund
balance
in
the
amount
of
thirty
six
thousand
four
hundred
and
forty
two
dollars,
and
this
is
exclusively
in
the
trade
center
fund.
So
there
is
no
use
of
fund
balance
in
the
general
fund.
B
C
C
B
The
use
of
fund
balance
is
in
the
trade
center
fund.
Presently,
the
revenues
that
are
projected
for
FY
18
are
slightly
lower
than
the
expenditures
that
they
have
and
we
will
actually,
as
we
get
further
in
the
presentation,
go
into
that
we'll
go
to
the
summary
for
the
trade
and
a
fine.
If
you
want
to
wait
until
does
this.
C
A
A
B
So
there
is
a
slight
decrease
in
the
millage
from
FY
17
urban
service
district.
One.
The
proposed
millage
is
17
point:
seven,
eight
mill,
an
urban
service
district
number,
two,
its
eleven
point:
eight,
zero,
Mills
and
urban
service
district
number.
Four
is
ten
point:
nine
zero
Mills.
We
are
projecting
the
2.4
percent
increase
in
the
tax
digest
and
that's
at
a
96
percent
collection
rate.
B
B
Other
assumptions
there
is
included
in
the
FY
18
budget
subsidies
to
e-911
and
the
golf
courses.
The
value
of
one
meal
as
it
relates
to
operating
is
four
million.
Eight
hundred
ninety
six
thousand
three
hundred
and
sixty
four
dollars.
The
value
of
one
meal
for
debt
is
five
million.
Two
hundred
ninety
one
thousand
two
hundred
and
forty
three
dollars
included
in
this
recommended
budget
is
a
cola
of
0.5%
for
active
employees
and
0.25%
for
retirees.
Both
are
effective.
January
of
2018
there's
also
included
in
the
recommended
budget.
A
20
hour
bonus
for
active
full-time
employees.
B
Listen
excludes
elected
officials
and
this
bonus
will
be
distributed
in
August
of
2017
attached
to
your
presentations.
I
provided
the
memorandum
that
went
out
to
all
employees
on
regarding
the
bonus
and
just
to
provide
more
information.
As
far
as
the
bonus
is
concerned,
it
is
20
hours
for
weekly,
hourly
employees,
I
guess
you
could
see
it
that
way
from
a
biweekly
standpoint,
which
more
than
I
would
say
about.
Half
of
the
employees
are
bi-weekly
salaried
employees.
It
equates
to
being
1/4
or
1/4
of
your
regular
bi-weekly
salary.
B
So
it
not
being
the
same
thing:
it's
just
murdered
a
little
differently
as
it
relates
to
the
millage.
Here's
a
summary
of
the
millage
that
were
proposing
for
FY
18
in
urban
service
district.
One
eight
point:
one:
eight
Mills
for
the
total
journal
in
urban
area
for
Metro
is
0.82
meals
and
that
is
subject
to
the
nine
meal
cap.
B
One
point:
two:
four
meals
for
stormwater
in
urban
service
district,
one
three
point:
four:
four
meals
for
paving
the
Medical
Center
at
three
meals:
0.5
0
Mills
for
economic
development
and
point
six,
zero
meals
for
debt
service;
and
that's
actually,
the
part
of
the
millage
rate
that
went
down.
It
was
the
service
millage
for
FY
17.
The
debt
service
millage
was
0.7
zero.
So
for
FY,
18,
we're
proposing
point
six:
zero
meals
for
debt
service.
B
So
here's
an
overview
for
the
operating
budget
for
FY
18.
As
you
can
see,
the
general
size
n
over
55%
of
our
overall
operating
budget
from
the
old
loss
is
second
at
twelve
point:
six:
zero
percent,
while
the
paving
and
Medical
Center
funds
rounds
out
the
top
three
at
six
percent
and
five
point
five
percent
respectively.
B
B
B
This
chart
just
shows
the
operating
budget
by
tight
majority
of
our
operating
budget
is
personal
services
and
that
number
for
an
FY
18
recommended
budget
rounds
out
at
56%.
Thirty
nine
point:
three
percent
for
operating
one
point:
seven
percent
for
capital
point:
five
percent
for
colas
and
pay
adjustments
and
CIP
at
2.5%.
B
So,
more
specifically
into
the
operating
fund,
we
have
the
general
fund
here.
The
general
fund
is
balanced
at
one
hundred
forty
seven
million
six
hundred
thirty
six
thousand
four
hundred
and
twenty
seven
dollars.
There
is
no
use
of
Jerome's
fund
reserves
to
balance
the
general
fund.
This
is
the
second
year
in
a
row
that
we've
been
able
to
do
this.
The
general
fund
account
for
normal
day-to-day
activities
such
as
police,
fire,
Public,
Works,
Parks
and
Recreation
and
etc,
and
it's
primarily
funded
as
we've
seen
before
by
self
taxes
on
property
taxes
and
franchise
fees.
B
B
Those
licenses
are
presently
$50
and
we're
proposing
to
increase
the
business
license,
fees
to
$75,
which
is
still
below
or
at
the
same
level
that
other
municipalities
are
charging
I,
just
I
know.
As
far
as
our
some
of
our
neighboring
County,
a
few
new
city
charges,
$100
Harris,
County
charges,
$75
and
so
we're
just
like
I
said
still
below
or
at
the
same
level
as
other
local
governments.
B
The
special
permit
fees
is
a
new
fee.
That's
been
incorporated
into
the
FY
18
budget.
This
is
an
administrative
there's,
a
lot
of
administrative
oversight,
that's
required
to
issue
special
events,
and
so
because
there's
a
significant
amount
of
time
by
multiple
departments
to
issue
these
types
of
permits.
We
are
incorporating
into
the
budget
a
$25
administrative
fee
to
help
offset
some
of
these
associated
administrative
costs
in.
B
B
There
are
also
several
budget-neutral
reclassifications
included
within
the
recommended
budget
listing
here
in
parks
and
recreation.
There's
a
park
maintenance
supervisor
be
reclassified
to
a
parks
manager,
look
in
Parks
and
Recreation
also
to
the
community
school
district
supervisor,
being
reclassified
to
a
recreation
program,
specialist,
three
in
elections
and
I.
What
I
don't
have
on
the
slide
here
is
most
of
the
elections.
B
Reclassification
for
elections
there
reclassifying
in
elections,
take
g9z
an
election
check
take
deep
well,
so
it's
the
same
position,
title
just
requests
on
the
grade
from
a
nine
through
twelve.
The
same
is
for
the
two
election
text
to
our
GTS
reclassifying
those
two
g13
there's
an
election
specialist
g10,
that's
been
reclassified
to
in
elections,
tech
of
g13
and
then
there's
a
registration
coordinator
which
is
presently
a
g15.
B
That's
the
director
is
requesting
a
recess
location
to
an
assistant
director
for
elections
also,
as
far
as
the
reclassifications
are
concerned,
and
the
clerk
of
municipal
court
there's
a
deputy
clerk
to
which
is
a
g12
which
is
being
reclassified
to
a
senior
deputy
clerk
g14
and
in
the
city
manager's
office.
The
citizens
service
center
takes
being
reclassified
to
communications
and
multimedia
specialists
g14
also
in
elections.
There
are
some
pay
adjustments
for
the
board
members
I
believe
this
is
the
only
board
that
actually
receives
compensation
from
the
city.
B
The
board
members
and
the
board
chair
the
board
members
vary
in
elections
is
requesting
that
we
increase
the
biweekly
pay
of
the
board
members
by
$25
and
$30
for
the
board
chair,
and
this
is
bi-weekly.
So
if
every
two
to
offset
these
adjustments
that
elections
is
requesting,
they
are
electing
to
delete
elections,
tech
to
position
that
they
currently
have
vacant
in
the
budget
booths.
B
So
as
it
relates
to
the
general
fund
reserve
that
our
fund
balance,
we
are
projecting
that
will
n
FY
17
at
sixty
point
two
zero
days
and
sorry
FY
18
projections
based
on
the
revenues
that
we
expected
me
expenditures
that
we
budgeted.
We
expect
to
end
with
61
point
four:
five
days
of
fund
balance,
reserve.
B
So
with
the
stormwater
fund,
that
fun
is
balanced
at
five
million
six
hundred
twenty
six
thousand
nine
hundred
and
thirty
five
dollars
the
stormwater
fine
account
for
activities
restricted
for
some
water
and
drainage
and
it's
primarily
funded
from
property
taxes.
The
millage
rate
remains
the
same
in
the
for
the
for
stormwater.
At
one
point,
two
four
four
urban
service
districts
number
one
and
point
two:
zero
for
urban
service
districts
number
two.
B
Capital
and
the
storm
water
fund
equates
to
five
hundred
fifty
seven
thousand
seven
hundred
and
twenty
seven
dollars
out
of
that
figure.
Two
thousand
nine
hundred
and
twenty
dollars
for
engineering
and
five
hundred
fifty-four
thousand
eight
hundred
and
seven
dollars
for
Public
Works,
also
included
in
the
stormwater
fun,
is
CIP
CIP
transfer
of
1
million.
Eighty
seven
thousand
six
hundred
and
forty
two
dollars.
B
The
millage
for
paling
also
remains
the
same
in
urban
service
district
number,
one
at
three
point:
four
for
meals
and
0.55
meals
in
urban
service
district
number:
two:
there
are
no
personnel
adjustments
in
the
paving
phone
capital
in
the
paving
fun
equate
to
roughly
1.4
million,
with
eighty
eight
thousand
of
that
being
for
our
engineering
department
and
1.3
million
of
that
being
for
our
public
works
I'm.
Also,
in
the
pavement
sign,
there
is
a
CIP
which
equates
to
1
million
five
hundred
twenty
five
thousand
five
hundred
and
ninety
six
dollars.
The.
B
Medical
Center
son
here
three
meals
is
projected
at
fourteen
million
one
hundred
one
thousand
five
hundred
and
twenty
nine
dollars.
The
proposed
budget
is
slightly
more
than
that,
because
that
includes
a
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
transfer
from
the
general
fund,
which
is
for
excess,
inmate
medical
expenditures
and
the
Medical
Center
fund
accounts
for
funding
in
urgent
hospital
care
and
it's
funded
exclusively
with
property
taxes
and
that
transfer
from
general
science.
B
The
integrated
waistline
is
balanced
at
12
million
six
hundred
and
two
thousand
dollars.
Young
integrated
ways
account
for
a
refuse
collection
and
disposal.
Recycling
and
landfill
operations
on
the
residential
rate
remains
the
same
at
$17
a
month,
also
within
the
integrated
waste
fund.
There's
a
debt
service
payment
for
capital
Leafs
that
was
approved
in
FY
17
for
twenty
nine
garbage
trucks
to
grab
balls
and
one
bulldozer
that
piles
at
the
landfill,
also
in
the
integrated
waste,
run,
there's
capital
that
equates
to
six
hundred
and
eighty
thousand
dollars
approximately.
B
The
e-911
fund
is
balanced
at
three
hundred,
I'm
sorry,
three
million
nine
hundred
forty
two
thousand
six
hundred
and
twenty
dollars,
that
is,
that
does
include
a
subsidy
from
the
public
safety,
o
loss
of
nine
hundred.
Ninety
five
thousand
six
hundred
and
twenty
dollars,
email
on
one
account
toward
the
telephone,
subscribers
surcharges
and
collection
for
emergency
dispatch,
and
this
is
primarily
funded
with
the
fees
we
receive
for
landline
landline.
Wireless
and
prepaid
phone
charges.
B
The
Economic
Development
Fund
has
a
budget
of
two
million
three
hundred
fifty
thousand
two
hundred
and
fifty
five
dollars.
This
is
their
welfare
point,
five,
zero
meals
that
account
for
economic
development,
and
this
is
used
for
attracting
quality
companies.
Broadening
the
tax
tax
base,
job
creation
and
retention
out
of
the
point:
five
zero
meals,
0.25
meals
is
allocated
to
the
development
authority
that
amounts
to
1
million
one
hundred
seventy
five
thousand
one
hundred
and
twenty
eight
dollars.
B
Discretion
in
the
debt
service
fund,
that's
balanced
at
thirteen
million
four
hundred
eighty
five
thousand
seven
hundred
and
thirty
dollars.
The
debt
service
accounts
for
the
accumulation
and
disbursement
of
principal
and
interest
payments.
Again.
The
marriage
rate
for
service
slightly
decreases
in
FY,
18,
two
point:
six:
zero
meals
and
that's
down
point
one
grow
meals
from
FY,
17.

On
the

is
balanced
at
seven

and
forty
eight

for
the

of
the
public
transportation
system.
It
is
primarily
funded
from
property
taxes,
federal
and
state

and
teeth

Also
within
the
metro
fund,
there
is
one
personnel
adjustment
for
best
teeth,
block
funded,
and
that
is
for
a
correctional

also
included
in
the
Metro.
Sun
is
capital

in
the
amount
of
seven
hundred
seventy
eight

150
dollars.
B
Party
management
sign
is
balanced
at
$321,
700
left
sorry
320
1779
dollars,
which
is
balanced
with
no
subsidies
from
the
general
fund.
The
parking
fees
were
increased
in
FY
17
to
$40.
There
are
no
parking
fee
increases
included
in
the
FY
18
budget
and
the
parking
fund
accounts
for
the
operation
of
the
public
of
the
public
parking
and
parking
garages
and
it's
primarily
funded
by
parking
fees.
B
B
Expenditures
included
in
the
budget
is
two
million
nine
hundred
thirty-eight
thousand
nine
hundred
and
twenty
three
dollars,
which
required
the
use
of
Trade
Center
sign
balance
in
the
amount
of
$36
36,000
442
dollars.
Then
the
trade
center
fund
account
for
the
operation
of
the
facility
and
it's
primarily
funded
from
event,
proceeds
beer,
tax
included
in
the
FY
18
budget
of
seven
hundred
and
thirty
one
thousand
and
the
hotel
motel
packs
of
six
hundred
and
ten
thousand
dollars.
B
There
are
some
personnel
adjustments
in
the
trade
center
fund.
The
trade
center
is
requesting
two
new
part-time
event:
attendance
at
one
part-time
facility
facilities,
maintenance
worker
one.
There
is
also
a

The

at

point:
nine
million

I'm
the
Civic
Center
and
Sun
account
for
the
operations
of
the
facility,
and
it
is
primarily
funded
from
event
proceeds.
It
also
receives
one
point:
two:
two
million
in
hotel-motel
tax
and
there's
one
personnel
adjustment.
That's
a
reclassification
from
you
for
an
event
coordinator,
g15,
two
event:
services
manager,
g17,
and
it
also
requires
no
general

subsidy
and
FY

B
On
the
healthcare
fund,
the
FY
18
budget
is
a
twenty
three
million
six
hundred
forty
seven
thousand
three
hundred
and
eighty
three
dollars
it
does.
Can
we
do
continue
the
70/30
contribution
strategy
for
our
active
employees?
There
are
no
premium
increases
for
F
for
2018,
for
the
health
insurance
cost
to
employees
and
I'm.
Sure
hankins
again
is
here
to
provide
us
with
a
healthcare
update
to
sort
of
talk
about
some
of
the
things
that
are
included
in
the
budget
for
FY
18.
B
In
order
for
us
to
arrive
to
this
number
and
no
premium
increases
to
employees,
the
risk
management
size
budget
is
four
million.
Seven
hundred
fifty
four
thousand
four

seventy

and
the

for

B
The
CDBG
fun
has
a
budget
of
1
million
six
hundred
fifty
thousand
three
hundred
and
fifteen
dollars.
Cdbg
fun
account
for
grant
monies
that
we
received
from
the
Department
of
Housing
and
Urban
Development
under
the
Community
Development
Block
Grant
program,
and
that
program
was
funded
by
the
federal
government
for
FY
18.
B
We're
going
to
agency
appropriations
for
FY
18
minimal
changes
here.
The
only
changes
to
note
as
far
as
the
differences
between
FY
17
and
FY
18
is
the
payment
that
we're
required
to
make
to
the
River
Valley
Regional
Commission.
That
allocation
for
FY
18
is
two
hundred
thousand
five
hundred
and
seventy
nine
dollars
there's
no
change
to
new
horizons
or
health
department
services.
B
The
rent
that
we
are
required
to
pay
for
the
health
department
be
increased
slightly
to
three
hundred
twenty
seven
thousand
five
hundred
and
sixty
dollars
and
there's
no
change
to
the
Department
of
Children
and
Family
Services.
That
remains
at
forty
one
thousand
five
hundred
dollars.
Our
required
contribution
to
the
airport
is
forty
thousand,
and
there
is
no
appropriation
to
Uptown
Columbus
in
the
FY
18
recommended
budget,
so
I'm
not
operating
fund.
These
funds
are
not
for
the
general
operations
of
the
government.
B
They
are
restricted
for
a
specific
purpose
and
must
be
budgeted
annually
and
each
maintain
and
its
own
separate

so
for
the

grant
that
budget
for

The

The

we're

The

2003

a

appropriating

B
Lease

of

be
a
4.2
million
for
the
Columbus

lease

bonds,
series

Our
family

Youth

the
Appropriations

FY

is
47
thousand,
so
the

is
balanced
at
33
million.
Six
hundred
sixty-six
thousand
six
hundred
and
sixty-seven

the
other
local

B
B
So
the
other
local
other
Local
Option
Sales
Tax
Public
Safety,
the
current
personnel
that's
listed
in
that
son
for
the
police

there's
12
sergeants,
fourteen
corporals
84
police

and
nine

one

from

there's

25

for
Muscogee
County

there's
four
correctional

and
one

There's

There
are
13
deputy

two

nine

A
E
C
C
A
B
I'm
also
in
the
Local

Sales

on
for
Public
Safety,
there's
a
crime

director,
one

in
the
Solicitor

There
are

The

and
probate
court
has
one
deputy
clerks
are
best
funded
in
the
other
Local
Option
Sales
Tax
Fund.
B
So
the
addition
to
the
other
Local
Option
Sales
Tax
Fund
for
Public
Safety.
What's
so
what's
new
and
FY
18
is
one
deputy
clerk
to
position
for
the
Superior
Court
Clerk,
also
included
in
the
other
Local
Option
Sales
Tax
on
for
Public
Safety
is
a
Sheriff's
Department
pay
reform
so
requesting
to
advance
and
not
feel
14
detention
positions,
and
that
amounts
to
559
thousand
eight
hundred
and
sixty-seven
dollars
on
the
subsidy
to
the
email.
B
One
one
fund
again
is
that
nine
hundred
fifty-five
thousand
six
hundred
and
twenty
dollars
we
are
in
year,
four
out
of
five
for
the
email
or
one
six
system
upgrade,
which
amounts
three
hundred.
Fifty
two
thousand
four
hundred
and
seventy
eight
dollars
we're
in
year,
three
of
ten
for
the
800
megahertz
radio
system
upgrade,
and
that
amounts
the
Public
Safety
portion
amounts
to
eight
hundred
four
to
two
thousand
four
hundred
and
ninety
dollars
we're
in
year.
Two
of
for
the
warning
siren
maintenance.
B
That's
also
a
part
of
the
radio
system
upgrade
and
that
amounts
to
one
hundred
four
thousand
three
hundred
and
seventy-six
dollars
included
in
the
budget
for
FY
18
is
seven
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
for
crime
prevention
grants
and
and
there's
a
reserve,
that's
placed
in
the
other
Local
Option
Sales,
Tax,
Public,
Safety
side
of
three
hundred
seventy
five
thousand
and
thirty
four
dollars
to
also
included
in
the
loss.
Public
Safety
of
the
transfer
to
CIP
for
the
court
management
system
of
two
hundred
and
fifty
thousand.
B
So
the
transfer
to
debt
service
from
the
old
lost
public
safety
side
is
1
million.
Eighty
one
thousand
nine
hundred
and
ninety
eight
dollars
the
Columbus
Building
Authority
2010
series
a
bond
represents
about
fifty
seven
thousand
of
that
the
series
be
bonds
represents
about
sixty
two
thousand
of
that
and
then
the
remaining
portion
of
the
debt
service
payment
for
from
the
old
lost
public
safety
side
is
for
GM
a
leases
related
to
the
fire
department,
I'm
Jim,
a
lease
number
for
the
amount
of
fifty
one
thousand
eight
hundred
and
forty
two
dollars
for
one
truck.
B
This
was
approved
in
fy16
Jim,
a
leased
under
five
in
the
amount
of
one
hundred.
Seventy
eight
thousand
seven,
fifty
three
for
four
ambulances
also
approved
in
fy16
GM.
A
lease
number.
Nine
is
three
hundred
thirty,
eight
thousand
three
hundred
and
six
dollars
for
five
fire
trucks
that
were
approved
in
FY
17
number.
Ten
is
a
lease
payment
amount
of
two
hundred:
seventy
six
thousand
eight
hundred
and
forty
three
dollars
for
four
fire
trucks,
and
it
says:
refinance
number
six.
B
There
was
a
I,
don't
say
an
issue,
but
the
interest
rate
that
we
received,
we
actual
refinance,
receive
a
better
interest
rate.
It
was
a
least
that
was
originally
approved
in
fy16
and
we
refinance
it
in
FY
17,
and
that
is
the
amount
of
the
annual
debt
service
payment.
Lease
number
11
is
for
two
ambulances
also
approved
in
FY
17,
that
amounts
to
115
thousand
nine
hundred
and
eighty
one
dollars.
B
This
capital
outlay
approved
in
the
I'm
sorry
recommended
in
the
FY
18
budget
of
1
million
75
thousand
four
hundred
and
four
dollars
the
police.
This
equates
for
police.
This
equates
to
eight
pursuit
vehicles
with
technology
packages
in
the
amount
of
four
hundred
twenty-five
dollars.
Twenty
four
hundred
twenty
five
thousand
five
hundred
and
fifty
two
dollars
for
the
fire
department.
B
The
allocation
is
156
thousand-
is
for
sixty-five
protective
clothing
for
MCP.
Their
allocation
is
seventy
four
thousand
eight
hundred
and
two
dollars
for
a
freezer
cooler
replacement
at
the
prison
on
the
marshals.
Department
allocation
is
two
thousand
two
hundred
dollars,
and
this
is
for
a
license
plate
reader
renewal
that
was
requested
by
the
marshal's
office.
The
sheriff
allocation
is
four
hundred
sixteen
thousand
eight
hundred
and
fifty
dollars
and
the
capital
outlay
for
the
sheriff's
department
is
to
be
prioritized
by
the
sheriff.
So
there's
no,
no
listing
of
specific
items.
B
Three
hundred
seventy
six
thousand
nine
hundred
and
sixty
seven
dollars
I'm

We
are

so
that
goes
away.
Fy
Knight

in
the
amount
of
six
million
eight
thousand
two
hundred
and
seventy
two
dollars
for
the
CBA
2010
series,
a
bronze
that
equates
again
about
2.5
million
of
a
CBA
2010
Series
B
buns.
B
That
equates
to
being
about
two
point:
seven
million
and
for
the
CBA
2010
Series
C
buns
of
seventy
three
thousand.
Eighty
nine
dollars
also
included
in
the
Olaf

are
to

The
first
one
is
for
the

eighty
five

eight

and
the
computer
equipment
that's
related
to
that
upgrade
of
forty
four
thousand
and
nine
dollars
we're.
Also
in

B
Out
of
the
seventy
three
million
five
hundred
thousand
that
we're
requesting
for
the
piece
plus
the
FY
18
discretionary
funding,
part
of
that
amount
is
two
point.
Five

I've
listed
provided

concludes
the
FY

overview
and
I'll.
Take
any
questions.
If
you
happen,
you.
B
E
B
E
I
think
they're
my
event
mix
up
with
maybe
the
form
for
the
attorney
of
the
vehicle
request
form
and
looked
like
there
were
at
least
seven
vehicles
that
were
over
the
mileage
count
over
the
years.
Limitations
for
what
we
normally
do
for
vehicle
turn
ends,
but
we
might
address
it
more
with
his
presentation
today,
but
I'm.
B
Not
exactly
sure
if
he
will
address
that
in
his
presentation,
but
there
are
two
forms
that
we
require
for
capital
outlay.
There
is
one
capital
outlay
form
that
ranks
the
capital
outlay
that's
been
requested,
so
we
request
that
departments
if
they
were
requesting
a
vehicle
that
they
lift,
that
on
the
capital
outlay
form,
and
then
they
rank
those
requests
in
addition
to
the
capital
outlay
form
that
has
the
rankings.
B
If
you're
requesting
vehicles
on
that
rank
capital
outlay
form,
we
ask
that
you
complete
a
capital
outlay
vehicle
turn
in
form,
that's
really
more
so
for
informational
purposes,
so
that
we
know,
and
so
that
we
can
also
provide
it
to
Fleet
Management.
What
vehicles
will
be
turned
in
from
what
you're
requesting
turf.
B
Well,
I
have
mentioned
on
several
occasions
in
several
Department
had
meetings
and
I
believe
also
I've
made
mention
to
counsel.
We
did
upgrade
our
finance
system,
but
that
was
phase
one
of
a
three-part
project.
In
addition
to
the
finance
system
upgrade
we
also
upgraded
our
budgeting
system.
That
was
part
two
of
the
project.
Those
two
parts
of
the
project
being
completed
on
the
third
part
of
the
project
is
an
upgrade
to
our
hrs
system.
Currently
we
are
on
a
antiquated
mainframe
system.
B
B
C
B
Ma'am
included
in
the
recommended
budget
is
a
bonus,
a
20
hour
bonus
for
all
active
full-time
weekly
employees
and,
like
I,
said
from
a
biweekly
standpoint.
It
sounds
kind
of
weird
because
we're
not
paid
on
an
hourly
basis
like
the
weekly
employees
are
so
that
equates
us
bi-weekly
folks
as
being
a
25
percent
paid
bonus
or
one-fourth
of
your
regular
bi-weekly
paid
in
the
form
of
a
bonus
which
really
is
a
bonus,
because
our
employees
will
still
be
compensated
for
the
time
that
they've
worked.
B
It's
just
that
in
order
to
for
bi-weekly,
employees
were
paid
up
through
the
current
paycheck
date,
so
we
received
a
paycheck
on
Friday
April,
the
21st
and
that
paid
us
by
wishlist
folks
up
through
April
between
1st,
so
we're.
We
run
payroll
on
Tuesdays,
so
we're
assuming
on
Tuesdays
that
you'll
be
here
Friday
at
5
p.m.
B
In
addition
to
converting
about
the
weekly
employees
to
biweekly
pay
cycle
date,
the
weekly
employees
are
presently
on
a
leg,
which
means
they
have
one
week
in
arrears.
So
they
work
for
the
city
one
week
and
then
receive
a
paycheck
until
the
next
week.
What's
presently
not
that
way
for
the
bi-weekly
employees,
and
so
we
are
also
creating
that
week,
leg
for
the
above
employees
do.
C
B
G
While
she's
coming
counselor
Thomas
I
wanted
her
to
make
the
point
that
she
just
made
I
want
to
be
clear
that
our
current
system,
you
know
today,
is
Tuesday
if
we
are
going
to
pay
people
Friday
and
I'm
here,
Tuesday
and
the
payroll
goes
in.
The
assumption
is
that
I'm
going
to
work
Wednesday
Thursday
Friday.
So
if
something
happens
with
me,
that
I
can't
come
to
work
the
rest
of
the
week,
I
got
paid
for
Wednesday,
Thursday
and
Friday,
although,
although
I
did
not
work
and
so
then
we
at
the
next
pay
period
play
catch-up.
G
C
H
C
C
We
are,
we
are
into
the
third
year
of
t-splines
fourth
year
of
t-splines,
third
or
fourth
year.
Right
and
at
any
rate,
is,
is
the
thought
that
this
person
will
only
be
hired
while
we
are
collecting
teeth.
Plus
money
are
at
the
end
of
the
collection
of
teeth.
Plus
is
the
thought
that
he
or
she
will
be
converted
to
a
general
fund
employee
well,.
B
I
think
that
thought-
and
you
can
no
certainly
speak
more
so
because
it
sort
of
predates
me
but
I-
think
the
intent
for
the
and
the
thought
behind
the
people
that
are
hired
from
the
teeth
gloss.
Is
that
once
the
teeth
floss
end,
unless
we
find
fundings
in
their
positions
with
what
the
city
would
end
at
that
time,
is
that
not
well.
G
G
C
Don't
I
don't
think
that
you
folks
are
going
to
do
this,
but
I
just
want
to
be
clear
that
and
make
sure
and
draw
attention
to
I.
Guess
if
you
will
the
fact
that
if
we
start
off
by
paying
for
this
out
of
T
splice
when
T
splice
is
gone,
then
we're
going
to
need
to
make
a
decision
and
that
decision
may
well
be
that
we
convert
this
position
to
general
fund
or
it
may
well
be
that
we
don't
have
any
money
and
that
person
or
that
person.
C
C
B
Man,
we're
not
receiving
well
I,
won't,
say
we're
not
receiving
any
monies
were
receiving
very
little,
but
they're,
apparently,
people
that
are
still
paying
$19.99
selasa
do
receive
a
a
small
allocation
of
that
on
a
monthly
basis
from
the
state.
We
have
no
idea
of
paying
those
funds,
but
no
we're
not
receiving
seven
twelve
point:
seven
million
dollars
in
1999
lost
money.
B
G
That
would
be
the
Greenway
Trail,
where
we're
connecting
from
10th
to
the
14th
Street
pedestrian
Plaza.
We
had
not
completed
that
portion
and
monies
were
still
in
that
account
and
so
we're
using
those
dollars
to
complete
that
one
point
four
miles
or
whatever
it
is
from
tenth
Avenue
near
the
Medical
Center
up
by
Lynwood
to
the
Frank,
a
Martin
pedestrian
bridge
and.
C
Some
of
those
t-slots
projects
that
you
listed
under
the
discretionary
funding
are
multi-year
projects.
Is
that
correct,
yeah,
okay
and
then
mr.
budget
chair
I,
did
want
to
know
about
how
how
we
will
look
at
our
deal
with
those
personnel
actions
for
those
departments
that
are
not
scheduled
to
make
a
presentation.
For
example,
at
this
point
the
Civic
Center
there
was
a
couple
of
positions
on
citizen
at
this
point:
they're
not
on
our
agenda
for
them
to
come
before
us
so
hi.
You.
A
Can
bring
it
up
for
discussion
really
at
any
time
I
mean
if
they're
not
scheduled
to
appear,
then
we
can
go
ahead
if
there's
something
that
we
you'd
like
to
see
put
on
to
add
or
delete
list
or
even
just
put
on
there
just
for
the
purpose
of
discussion
so
that
we
can
give
more
information,
you
can
do
that
at
any
time.
Well,.
C
I,
don't
I,
don't
know
that
I
want
to
do
that,
they
it
may
or
may
not
be.
You
know
if
there's
someone
else
that
can
tell
us,
you
know
I
well,
the
adding
personnel
or
reclassifying
personnel
to
me
is
a
serious
issue
and
I
don't
want
to
just
do
it
just
do
it.
You
know,
particularly
if
there's
some
questions
about
how
this,
how
this
would
work
so
well.
G
C
G
J
B
G
C
And
then
the
last
one
is
in
the
holas
with
the
the
capital
to
be
prioritized
by
the
sheriff.
At
what
point
will
we
know
what
that
is,
or
will
that
come
back
to
castle
or
well.
G
Actually,
when
they
submitted
a
request
for
capital
like
most
department,
heads
or
elect
officials
would
say
it's
all
important
tonight
and
and
when
you
know,
I
talked
to
staff
and
they
shared
that
it's
all
important
to
them.
Then
you
know
my
directive
was
to
determine
what
we
were
able
to
find
and
that's
what
will
propose
and
then
let
them
figure
it
out,
because
obviously
they're
not
going
to
get
can't
get.
We
don't
have
the
funding
for
all
of
those
things
that
they
asked
for.
How
much
was
it
four.
G
You
pick
your
own
poison
of
a
15.
You
pick
your
four
five
and
we
fund
it.
What
you
told
us
not
what
we
select
it
from
your
menu.
If
that
makes
sense,
and
so
we
can
go
back
to
them
and
say
you
really
need
to
prioritize
of
the
15
things
we
don't
want
to
do
it
for
you
and
here's
what
you
have
to
do
it
you
have
$400,000
would.
C
G
C
A
Right
and
we
could
we
could
just
plan
on
next
next
week
on
the
ninth
there's
some
time
available
after
the
three
o'clock,
we
might
be
able
to
talk
about
some
of
the
classifications
reclassifications
and
some
of
those
things,
yeah
I
think
any
time
you've
got
a
question.
If
you
don't,
if
it's
something,
you
really
need
a
lot
of
additional
or
we
really
need
some
more
information
on
them.
We
can
just
not
you
don't
want
to
put
it
on
the
a
delete
list,
just
request
it
that
they
bring
us.
President
presentation
on
well.
C
It's
been
it's
very
helpful
and
I
know
that
today
is
the
first
opportunity.
You've
had
to
give
us
the
presentations
for
the
next
several
weeks,
and
these
will
change
I
understand
that
there
will
be
additions
and
so
forth,
but
it's
helpful
to
know
who's
coming
up
next
week,
so
that
we
can
look
at,
for
example,
next
week
is
going
to
be
Parks
and
Rec.
So
we
can
look
at
that
information
before
we
get
here
so
I'll.
K
K
G
There,
their
budget
neutral
too,
so
just
so
that
those
are
watching.
In
other
words,
when
we
say
budget
neutral,
you
didn't
take
from
your
operating
funds
to
make
a
position
budget
neutral.
They
had
to
come
from
salaries
for
other
wages
to
make
it
budget
neutral,
so
our
wage
and
salaries
it
not
go
up.
They
remain
where
they
were
in
order
to
make
it
budget
neutral.
Okay,.
G
E
B
E
E
Glad
right,
we
have
you:
okay,
I'm
right
there
with
counselor
Thomas,
you
know
before
we
get
the
add
to
lead.
I
really
need
to
kind
of
know
what
the
sheriff
of
lots,
because
right
now,
if
we're
going
to
get
some
vehicles
for
the
marshal
and
I
do
add
to
Li,
you
know
add
on
those
the
sheriff's
budgets,
the
only
one
right
now
that
we
don't
know
exactly
what
their
priorities
are.
So
yeah
I
think
that's
very
important,
because
I
do
plan
on
making
some
some
ads
on
there
and
we're
going
to
have
some
deletions.
G
G
B
I
can
provide
that
listen
at
the
next
meeting
and
what
I
actually
did
print
that
out
and
I
have
that
listing
for
myself
here,
but
there
are
over
200
public
safety
vehicles
that
are
over
a
hundred
thousand
miles.
Okay,
it's
215
to
be
exact,
a
lot
in
the
police
department
in
fire
and
EMS.
So
it's
just
throughout
Public
Safety,
where
there
are
vehicles
that
have
more
than
100,000
miles,
215
of
them
to
be
exact.
Okay,.
L
And
I
don't
know
if
you
have
that
presentation,
but
I
think
that
would
be
helpful.
I
think
there
were
and
I
can't
remember
at
the
top
of
my
head,
but,
as
you
said,
215
Public
Safety
vehicles
was
over
a
hundred
thousand
miles
that
meet
that
criteria
for
replacement.
The
cost
of
that,
of
course,
is
millions.
L
Millions
and
I
believe
the
police
department
requested
68
replacements,
the
Sheriff's
Department
our
office,
and
so
you
might
want
to
go
through
that
to
whether
now
or
whenever
you
know
but
I
think
that
you
have
that
information
and
councils
clearly
interested
in
it.
I
think
you
should
present
that,
because
it's
it's
very
detailed
information,
the
politte
management
officer
stays
on
top
of,
and
then
reports
to
deputy
city
manager,
Lisa
Goodwin
about
the
priorities
and
they
clip
them
off
because
there's
just
so
many
that
that
are
in
excess
of
that
city
standard.
F
You,
as
the
ring
classes,
come
up
in
the
various
departments
just
up
and
remind
us
which
ones
of
those
are
Enterprise
Zones,
because
those
funds
have
to
pay
for
those
reclass
and
selves.
They
don't
come
out
of
the
general
fund,
so
some
of
the
enterprise
funds
operate
a
little
bit
different.
They
have
to
support
their
own
reclass,
there's
no
danger
but
leaking
over
into
the
general
fund
unless
we
have
to
supplement
so
for
some
reason.
For
that
shouldn't
be
the
case.
F
B
As
far
as
the
Enterprise
Fund,
there
are
only
two
reclassifications
for
enterprise
fund:
there's
a
trade
center
reclassification
for
the
accounting
technician
to
office
manager,
there's
a
civic
center
reclassification
for
the
event
services
coordinator
to
the
event,
services
manager
and
then
new
positions
that
the
enterprise
fund
is
the
chief
loss,
funded
correctional
officer
position.
The
other
reclassifications
that
are
in
the
general
fund
are
the
budget
neutral,
Clapp
reclassifications
that
the
city
manager
spoke
of
and
in
the
other
Local
Option
Sales
Tax
Fund.
F
Asleep
others
for
the
fine
I
say
and
sometimes
in
those
enterprise
fronts,
a
reclass
will
keep
them
from
having
to
hire
another
position,
they'll
replace
somebody
and
not
have
to
hire
right.
You
know
that
consolidate
or
not
to
hire.
Sometimes
it
works
to
an
advantage,
but
it's
still
nice
to
have
them
come
and
explain
how
and
why
this
will
work.
B
F
M
It
looks
like
there
might
be
a
lot
of
requests
for
vehicle
replacement,
I,
think
somewhere.
When
the
mayor
read
or
letters
he
talked
about
there
wasn't
a
lot
of
capital
allocation
to
capital
replacement
this
year.
I
do
know
that
there
that
a
lot
of
departments
do
in
fact
need
vehicle
replacements
and
there's
a
majority,
as
the
mayor
said,
that
has
very
very
high
mileage
on
and
usage.
M
If
someone
requests
vehicle
replacement
capital
replacement
there,
I
would
like
to
see
mr.
budget
chair
I'd
like
to
see
some
kind
of
a
letter
and
that
through
finance
that
it's
confirmed
and
that
the
money
goes
directly
towards
capital
replacement
in
this
case
vehicle
allocation,
where
it
can
be
tracked
and
filed
and
record.
It
I
think
that's
something
that
we
really
need
to
keep
an
eye
on.
B
Do
track
capital
outlay
items
to
be
more
specifically
like
councillor
Thomas
mentioned
with
the
sheriff
and
council
garrett
mentioned
about
the
chair,
lockers,
not
let's
not
having
that
prioritized
list
for
all
other
department.
We
do
not
deviate
from
the
list
that's
approved
in
the
in
the
budget
by
council,
so
when
a
department
request
to,
if
they
have
on
their
list
approved
vehicles,
we
make
sure
that
they
don't
use
that
funding
for
anything
else
with
it.
Besides
that
vehicle,
that's
actually
a
listing,
that's
kept
in
the
purchasing
department.
B
G
Other
thing
in
last
year
also,
they
told
it
before
you
move
on
in
and
what
we
might
do
is
just
in
the
budget
ordinance
as
a
relate
to
vehicles.
Make
that
note?
Okay,
because
you
know
because
we
it
needs
to
apply
across
the
bull,
wait
not
just
for
general
government,
non
public
safety
or
non
elected
official
Department
officials,
Department
personnel.
But
it
needs
to
apply
to
elect
officials
budgets
too,
and
if
you
put
it
in
the
ordinance
in
its
law
and
then
that's
what
we
do.
You
know
and.
G
M
M
Other
thing,
several
months
ago
we
had
a
discussion
about
where
we
made
some
changes,
dealing
with
salary
savings
and
I.
Think
at
that
point
it
all
went
into
the
reserve
and
I
believe
at
that
point
and
I'm.
Just
this
is
off
the
top
of
my
head
I'm
thinking
that
we
say
we
had
63
64
days,
maybe
a
little
more.
It.
B
G
B
One
point
for
five
days
and
what
we're
projecting
to
have
at
the
end
of
FY
18
and
that's
primarily
due
to
you
know,
I've
made
a
presentation
to
Council
a
few
weeks
ago
about
some
of
the
revenue
trends.
We
have
some
revenues
that
we
have
on
a
watch
list
so
just
do
to
those
declining
revenues
that
did
adjust
down
the
projected
fund
balance
days
for
FY
18.
So.
M
G
We
project
that
we
are
going
to
be
1.7
million
dollars
less
than
what
we
are
accustomed
to
and
that
state
legislative,
stuff
and
sales
tax
is
down
1
million
dollars,
1.3
1.3
and
recorders
cool
it
down
$650,000
after
school
before
school
down
for
one
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars.
I
think
it
was
a
total
of
4.2
million
that
we,
if
all,
was
on
track.
We'd
have
in
hand
that
would
support
reserve.
M
G
The
budget
has
been,
we
anticipated,
not
our
revenue
being
reduced
in
those
categories
we've
named
and
that's
why
you
have
a
budget,
that's
not
270
million
dollars,
but
267
million
dollars
it's
less
than
what
the
current
budget
is.
As
we
go
forward
to
the
new
fiscal
year
at
least
a
proposed
budget
and.
M
Then,
in
addition
to
that
kind
of
loan
same
lines,
last
year
we
talked
about
the
increase
in
health
care
costs
across
the
board
and
I.
Think
I
specifically
asked
a
question
why
both
health
care
and
retirement
contributions
went
up
this
year.
It
looks
like
we've
reduced
them
and
that
we're
staying
at
it
even
kill.
Where
did
that
all
that
extra
money
go?
That
was
that
reallocated
or
allocated
into
this
budget
this
year,
the
savings
there
they.
B
Have
well-
and
you
have
to
correct
me-
if
I'm
understood
what
you
just
said,
but
the
healthcare
contributions
per
budgeted
position
may
go
down.
We
are
reducing
that
for
FY
18.
We
had
to
find
the
the
the
city's
contribution
for
healthcare
after
6
to
$100
per
positions
level,
because
two
things,
our
our
health
care,
cost
across
two
fiscal
years,
so
the
amount
that
we
need
it
for
2017
for
healthcare
costs
for
the
calculation.
For
the
city.
We
means
the
$6,100.
B
That
was
the
projection
that
we
received
from
our
benefits
consultant
that
we
needed
for
two
calendar
year,
2017
and
so
going
into
calendar
year
2018
because
of
the
health
and
wellness
center
and
some
of
the
other
plan
design
changes
that
are
being
recommended.
We
don't
need
as
much
for
fiscal
year
18
as
far
as
city's
contributions,
because
the
health
insurance
per
budgeted
employee,
and
so
it's
not
necessarily
that
it
was
a
savings
we
did
meet.
We
needed
that
amount
for
the
city
side,
but
also
the
employees
increases
those
didn't
take
effect
until
January
of
2017.
B
So
for
six
months
the
city
was
I,
don't
say
funding
more
than
their
share,
but
we
were
funding
the
lion's
share
of
what
we
needed
for
for
health
care
for
this
fiscal
year,
because
employee
increases
didn't
actually
kick
in
until
January
of
2017
and
our
benefits
consultant.
But
actually
the
next
topic
on
the
agenda
is
the
healthcare
update
for
Shaw,
Hankins
and
I.
N
M
L
A
It's
a
good
question,
not
the
own
remedy.
Is
it
a
blended
cost,
because
the
healthcare
goes
on
a
calendar
year
and
we
would
have
actually
would
have
covered
the
FY
16
and
17,
but
because
the
cost
per
16
would
have
bled
over
into
the
first
half
of
the
expenditures
on
health
care
and
17,
and
then
when
they,
when
they
identified
that
the
health
and
wellness
center
and
a
few
other
things
that
had
an
impact
that
would
have
been
in
our
fiscal
year
17.
A
Confusing
because
it
doesn't
crosses
here,
it
crosses
three
different
fiscal
years
with
two
calendar
years.
So
I
understand
what
you're,
saying
and
I
agree.
It's
confusing
I'm,
not
sure
that
I
get
it,
but
I
just
know
that.
That's
that's
how
they
came
up
with
that
figure.
It's
blended
over
a
couple
of
fiscal
years,
but
it
should
be
reflected
this
year.
D
M
D
M
N
A
F
O
G
But
I
can
tell
you
we
would
be
certainly
lower
than
60
days
and
and
yet
and
it
would
have
turned
out
it
would
have
been
lower
than
60
days.
We
know
that,
but
women
would
have
been
lower
than
the
60
days.
The
less
than
six
days
work
that
we
projected,
in
other
words,
I,
think
we
were
at
58
days
at
that
time
when
we
walked
the
salary
savings
idea.
G
She
said
in
54.
Why
can't
we
just
before
I
can't
remember
that
we
not
done
anything
and
then
the
revenue
projections
came
in
like
it
did
with
ta,
TV
and
recorders
court
and
after-school
program
in
sales
tax.
We
would
have
been
probably
less
than
50
days.
I
mean
it
would
have
been.
It
would
not
have
been
a
good
live.
B
A
H
Good
afternoon
Council
today,
we
want
to
provide
an
update
on
our
health
care
to
talk
about
where
we
are
and
where
we
are
projecting
to
go
for
calendar
year
2018,
as
we
look
toward
the
budget
for
FY,
18
and
thinking
about
what
we
think
we
need
to
do
with
healthcare.
We
make
sure
that
we
met
with
our
stakeholders,
those
key
stakeholders
be
in
our
employee
benefits
committee.
H
We
have
not
tuned
in
to
meet
with
them
a
couple
of
times
to
talk
about
where
we
were
with
healthcare
and
some
of
the
things
that
we're
going
on
with
healthcare
and
what
we
were
proposing.
We
also
had
an
opportunity
to
meet
with
the
council
healthcare
task
force
and
talk
about
some
of
the
proposals
for
calendar
year
2018
during
healthcare,
so
those
have
been
some
very
I
believe
productive
meetings
that
we've
had
with
our
employee
benefits
committee.
H
Our
the
chairperson
for
the
employee
benefits
committee
is
here
today
seth
brown,
and
he
can
give
you
some
input
from
the
employee
perspective.
If
you
have
questions
about
some
of
the
things
that
have
been
proposed
for
healthcare
for
2018,
a
benefit
consultant
is
here
and
was
at
all
of
those
meetings
with
the
employee
benefits
committee,
as
well
as
the
council
health
task
4
and
share
it
in
detail
about
our
healthcare.
H
And
so
our
consultants
are
here
today
to
provide
an
update,
I
believe
you
haven't
hand
out
already
or
what
they'll
be
reviewing
and
certainly
will
be
able
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
have
Tammy
Starkey
with
our
Shaw
Hankins
this
year.
Of
course,
other
Shaw
Hankins
members
are
here,
but
Tammy
is
going
to
do
the
presentation
today.
J
Good
afternoon
I'm
Tammy
Starkey
vice
president
client
services
with
Shaw
hankins
I
have
Todd
Hooper
and
West
Ross
senior
consultants
with
Sean
Incans
here
today
and
I
also
have
Don
D
Ballard
is
a
pharmacist
and
vice
president,
with
Pharma
Vail.
Our
current
pharmacy
benefit
management
vendor
to
assist
with
any
specific
questions
you
may
have
on
prescription
drugs.
Today,.
J
To
start
off,
I
wanted
to
provide
a
health
plan
overview
of
where
the
plan
currently
stands
compared
to
prior
calendar
years
or
the
plan
year
of
how
our
plan
designs
and
deductibles
currently
run.
So
we
know
from
2014
to
2015,
for
our
medical
claims
expense.
This
excludes
prescription
drugs.
This
is
medical.
Only
on
this
exhibit
we
saw
a
5.9
million
dollar
reduction
in
medical
claims
between
2014
and
2015
and
then
2015
to
2016.
J
Those
claims
are
fairly
flat
at
about
one
point:
eight
percent
increase.
Overall,
we
know
the
majority
of
this
reduction
was
due
to
the
removal
of
the
Muscogee
manner
group.
One
point:
eight
million
dollars
in
claims
were
attributed
to
that
and
then
another
part
of
this
reduction
was
due
to
the
spousal
surcharge
that
was
implemented
in
2015.
We
saw
1.1
million
dollar
reduction
in
claims
due
to
the
removal
of
spouse
claims
from
the
plan.
J
F
J
J
As
far
as
their
prescription
drug
cost,
we
did
see
a
steady
increase
in
the
cost
year-over-year
from
2014
really
2013
to
2016.
This
is
in
a
despite
of
the
reduction
we
saw
in
the
lives
on
the
plan
so
and
despite
seeing
a
reduction
from
the
Muscogee
manner
group
and
the
spouse
is
coming
off
the
plan.
We
continue
to
see
that
study
increase
your
your
honor
prescription
drugs.
The
claims
for
2017
year
today
are
through
February,
stated
on
these
slides
and
then
on
page
five.
J
You
see
total
claims,
medical
and
prescription
drug
claims
where
we
do
see
through
February
we're
at
2.9
million
dollars
for
the
calendar
year.
If
we
annualized
that,
based
off
of
just
two
months
of
experience,
we'd
end
up
at
seventeen
point,
six
million
so
good
below
where
we
ran
for
2016
beginning
but
again
it
is
early
to
identify
a
trend,
but
that
does
assist
us
in
setting
the
budget
by
looking
for
through
the
calendar
year
and
then
on
page
six.
J
So
we
see
that
new,
clean
design
was
implemented.
January
1st
of
2017
and
then
on
slide
9,
you
see
where
we
implemented
the
new
pharmacy
benefit
manager,
January
1st
2017.
When
that
new
pharmacy
benefit
manager
was
implemented.
Nope
changes
were
made
to
plan
design.
It
was
just
a
simple
change
of
the
benefit
manager
and
then
also
the
negotiated
cost
for
those
prescription
drugs.
So
we
were
not
changing
any
benefits
or
coverage
of
prescriptions.
J
January,
1st
2017
and
then
page
10
addresses
where
we
are
running
claims
for
medical
and
prescription
drug
claims
for
the
fiscal
year
compared
to
what
was
budgeted
for
claims
for
fiscal
year,
17
so
you'll
see
paid
claims
currently
are
at
12
million
for
61
329.
The
budgeted
amount
through
February
is
13
million.
Ninety
six
thousand
six,
thirty
five.
So
we're
running
within
three
percent
of
the
budget.
For
this
fiscal
year,
17.
J
So
as
we
look
forward
to
funding
the
plan
for
fiscal
year
18,
we
again
use
true
actuarial
modeling,
looking
at
24
months
of
claims
experience
to
project
the
future
cost
because,
as
it
was
mentioned
earlier,
our
plan
year's
run
calendar
year
and
therefore
straddle
to
fiscal
year.
We
are
projecting
claims
out
through
the
end
of
calendar
year,
18,
so
December
31st
2018
we're
trying
to
set
projections
now
that
will
carry
us
through
that
time
period
so
that
we
can
also
set
employee
contributions
and
plan
designs
that
will
last
through
all
of
2018.
J
And
so,
although
the
plan
has
run
well
over
the
last
12
months,
we're
running
within
3%
of
the
Botta
and
it's
appropriately
funded
for
this
fiscal
year.
Medical
trend
does
impact
our
projections
because
we're
projecting
so
far
out
in
the
future,
currently
with
us,
projecting
with
claims
through
February
of
2017
projecting
through
the
end
of
2018,
that's
22
months
of
unknown
that
we're
trying
to
say
where
do
we
expect
claims
to
come
in
at
during
that
time
period?
C
J
Quite
common,
most
of
the
city
and
county
governments
that
we
work
with
have
the
same
situation
and
it's
normally
because
plan
deductibles
run
calendar
year
and
that's
more
easy
for
employees
to
understand
that.
My
deductible
starts
over
January
1st
with
the
new
calendar
year,
and
so
we
run
the
plan
year
January
to
December.
Well,
I.
J
It
is
possible
to
go
to
a
deductible
that
would
start
over
July
1st
and
run
with
the
fiscal
year,
but
that
would
mean
we
would
need
to
do
a
short
plan
year
so
from
January
through
June
June
and
then
start
over
in
July.
And
so
some
members
would
see
that
as
a
disadvantage
of
their
deductible
starting
over
at
the
seventh
month
of
the
calendar
of
the
calendar
year.
So
they
only
get
seven
months
or
six
months
of
credit
really.
C
H
H
H
Think
I
may
be
wrong,
but
I
think
council
Davis
actually
acts
as
very
sane.
For
instance,
it's
been
two
or
three
years
ago,
but
yes,
it
is
something
that's
within
our
control
but,
as
has
already
been
explained,
it
will
take
us
a
while
to
get
on
the
same
year
during
the
fiscal
year
with
our
health
care,
as
we
do.
Our
budget
is
that
fiscal
year,
so
it
can
be
done,
but
it
would
take
us
a
while
to
do
it
and,
yes,
sometimes
it
sounds
easy
to
do.
C
A
We
can
just
be
a
pretty
lengthy
educational
process.
I
mean
just
talking
to
our
employees,
about
the
healthcare
options
as
it
is
now
is
a
very,
very
tedious
because
it's
just
it's
very
difficult
to
understand.
It's.
It's
no
knock
on
anybody.
It's
just
it's
a
tough
subject
to
really
grasp
all
the
nuances
of,
and
but
you
know
what
I
agree.
I
mean
it's!
A
C
J
Is
a
seasonality
effect
to
claims,
and
so
that
normally
follows
those
flu
seasons
the
winter
fall
month.
So
we've
seen
that
in
this
fiscal
year
by
capturing
those
December
January
February
claims,
that's
normally,
where
we'll
see
a
spike
outside
of
that,
a
spike
would
be
driven
by
a
high
cost
claim
and
those
are
normally
unknown.
Okay,
so.
J
Welcome
so
medical
trend
is
comprised
of
overall
price
inflation.
There
is
some
provider
cost
shipping
shifting
where
providers
shift
cost
from
the
uninsured
or
discount
payers
like
Medicare
and
Medicaid
to
private
employers,
meaning
that
in
their
negotiations
with
what
they're
going
to
pay
towards
private
health
insurance
they're
going
to
ask
for
more
to
offset
for
what
they're
not
getting
from
the
uninsured
or
the
private,
the
discount
payers
there's
a
leveraging
effect
due
to
fixed
deductibles
and
co-pays,
meaning
that
as
the
cost
of
coverage
or
cost
of
claims
does
increase
year
over
year.
J
If
we're
holding,
deductibles
and
co-pays
the
same,
then
naturally
there's
going
to
be
more
responsibility
on
the
plane
and
as
a
members
not
paying
more
of
that
share.
There
is
overall
increased
utilization
it
each
year
that
we
have
to
take
into
account
because
of
an
aging
population,
there's
more
expensive
drug
and
medical
treatments
that
drive
that
in
caught
increase,
cost
to
health
care,
technological
advancements
and
then
also
any
government
mandates
that
are
driving
cost
for
health
care.
So
the
national
average
for
medical
trend
is
eight
to
ten
percent.
J
That's
what
a
plan
can
expect
to
see
if
they're
not
putting
any
cost
saving
measures
in
place?
If
we're
not
changing
the
plan,
design,
we're
not
put
any
Welman
and
wellness
initiative
to
impact
claims
long
term.
Most
plans
will
see
an
eight
to
ten
percent
increase
the
initial
projection
of
the
calendar
year.
Eighteen
increase
for
the
city
was
five
point:
nine
percent
increase,
so
that
would
have
been
a
five
point:
nine
percent
increase
to
the
employees
contribution.
However,
last
week
we
were
able
to
update
that
with
two
more
months
of
favorable
claims
experience.
J
So
clean
claims
continue
to
run
well,
reduce
the
impact
to
that
unknown
medical
trend
by
two
months,
and
so
we
reduced
that
to
four
and
a
half
percent
about
eight
hundred
sixty
nine
thousand
dollars
overall.
So
with
the
proposed
changes
that
we're
showing
would
offset
that
eight
hundred
and
sixty
nine
thousand
dollars
that
would
additional
funding
for
calendar
year
eighteen
to
get
us
to
no
increase,
so
the
proposed
plan
changes
to
accomplish
no
rate
increase
for
calendar
year.
Eighteen.
The
first
includes
an
increase
in
the
cost
for
emergency
room
care.
J
That's
currently
a
flat
copay
on
both
plans,
and
that
would
now
go
to
a
copay
plus
a
coinsurance.
The
coinsurance
on
the
silver
plan
is
currently
twenty
percent
of
the
cost
is
what
the
member
pays
and
on
the
gold
plan
is
ten
percent
of
the
cost.
So
now
they
would
have
their
copay
plus
a
percentage
of
the
emergency
room,
cost.
There's
two
factors
there.
J
One
is
to
have
the
member
understand
the
cost
of
emergency
room
care
versus
going
to
another,
either
retail
option
their
primary
care
physician
when
is
available
and
to
is
just
to
have
that
reduction
in
the
claims
cost.
According
to
our
reporting
from
Blue
Cross
Blue
Shield
in
2016,
we
had
591
avoidable
emergency
room
visits
and
that
was
63%
of
our
overall
emergency
room
utilization
was
avoidable
based
off
of
the
diagnosis
that
was
received
during
that
visit
and
the
top
avoidable
diagnosis
that
were
experienced
were
back
pain,
nausea
and
vomiting
headache
and
then
upper
respiratory
infection.
J
So
these
are
examples
of
we're.
Having
the
member
pay
a
greater
share
of
that
emergency
room
visit
may
impact
their
utilization
and
makes
it
it
will
have
them
think
twice
on
their
decision
to
utilize
the
emergency
room
versus
Urgent
Care
or
their
primary
care
physician
where
that
expense
is
much
lower.
Dennis.
F
J
Based
on
national
benchmarks
from
the
Willis
Towers
Watson
survey
within
the
southeast
employers
of
the
same
size
as
the
city,
41
percent
of
those
employers
have
a
coke
copay
and
20
percent
coinsurance
on
their
emergency
room
visits.
All
BlueCross
BlueShield
standard
plan
designs
have
already
converted
to
having
a
copay
and
coinsurance
on
emergency
room
visits,
so
this
is
within
norms
to
have
this
type
of
cost
share
for
emergency
room
utilization.
The
other
proposed
plan
change
to
the
medical
coverage
is
to
increase
the
Urgent
Care
copay
that
is
currently
$40.00
to
increase
that
to
$60.
J
That's
the
projected
savings
of
seventy
three
thousand
five
hundred
dollars
again.
The
goal
there
is
to
impact
utilization
when
there
is
an
alternative
to
see
a
primary
care
physician
that
cost
is
lower
than
urgent
care.
Urgent
Care
has
a
much
higher
overhead.
It's
staffed
for
the
unexpected,
because
there's
no
appointments
so
going
to
a
primary
care.
Physician
is
going
to
be
a
lower
expense
for
the
plan
and
therefore
the
members
should
see
a
discount
by
going
to
the
primary
care
physician
versus
Urgent
Care.
J
J
The
changes
proposed
to
the
prescription
drug
coverage
to
again
accomplish
no
increase
to
the
employee
contributions
in
calendar
year
18.
The
first
and
I
did
provide
a
detailed
outline
of
the
recommendations
separate
from
your
booklets.
It
has
the
FarmVille
logo
on
the
top,
and
that
provides
some
additional
information
on
the
recommendations
and
why
they
are
recommended
any
recommendations
to
the
prescription.
Drug
coverage.
Any
impacted
member
would
be
directly
contacted
by
farmable
to
indicate
what's
changing
about
their
prescription
drug
coverage.
What's
changing
about
a
medication
they're
currently
taking
and
what
their
alternatives
are.
C
You
speak
to
if,
if
a
an
employee
is
on
one
of
these
medications-
and
we
we
move
to
this,
what
what
impact
will
it
have
on
their
financial
contribution
to
the
drug
I?
Don't
know
how
much,
for
example,
if
you,
if
you
have
a
prescription
for
next
next
time,
I,
don't
know
how
much
the
employee
is
paying
now,
but
if
I
am
paying
something
right.
C
J
We've
seen
it
be
a
bit
less
than
the
actual
copay
for
that
name-brand
drugs,
so
filling
nexium,
that's
a
$40
copay
and
then
so
they'll
have
to
buy
two
supplies
that
over-the-counter
to
equal
their
30
days
and
those
are
normally
$15
apiece.
So
that's
$30
for
their
monthly
supplies.
So
in
the
majority
of
cases
we've
seen
it
be
a
lower
expense
for
those
proton
pump
inhibitors
over
the
counter
versus
filling
it
over
the
plain
on
the
plant
as
a
prescription.
C
J
There
are
some,
where
we'll
see
an
increase
in
all
outline,
what
prescriptions
we're
proposing
a
member
increase
on,
but
it's
only
on
specific
medications.
So
for
that
first
proposal
the
proton
pump
inhibitors,
which
includes
nexium
prilosec
prevacid.
So
that's
proposed
to
cover
those
over-the-counter
now,
because
the
FDA
has
approved
over-the-counter
status
for
all
of
those
medications
and
that's
what
we
indicated
would
be
the
same
cost
and
I'll
go
through
the
other
proposals
grow.
J
Yes,
ma'am,
so
all
of
these
proton
pump
inhibitors
FDA
has
granted
over-the-counter
status
to.
They
are
identical
in
therapeutic
effectiveness
for
the
generic
or
the
over-the-counter
version
versus
these
name-brand
options.
This
currently
makes
up
1.7
percent
of
the
city's
total
drug
spin,
so
it
does
have
a
large
impact
and
savings
by
removing
this
claims.
Expense
from
the
plan,
but
still
having
members
have
the
opportunity
to
continue
the
same
treatment
with
these
medications.
Over-The-Counter.
So
this
projected
savings
for
that
change
is
123
thousand
nine
hundred
and
sixty
dollars.
J
The
next
proposal
is
to
discontinue
what
we
call
specific
MeetMe
to
drugs.
These
are
drugs
that
manufacturers
come
out.
They
have
no
enhanced
clinical
or
therapeutic
superiority
over
drugs
that
they
are
based
upon.
They
come
out,
distribute
them
as
the
new
marketing
effort,
and
they
also
manufacturers
distribute
copay
savings
cards.
So
that
means
that
members
are
incentivized
to
take
this
new
name
brand
drug,
because
with
that
co-pays
savings
card,
it's
a
discount
coupon
card,
they
are
paying
less
for
the
name
brands
and
they
would
be
their
generic
copay
on
the
plan.
J
But
that
does
not
save
the
plan
any
money.
The
claims
expense
is
the
same
to
the
plan,
but
it
is
saving
the
member
and
incentivizing
them
to
take
a
name
brand
drug.
So
these
medications
are
specifically
acts
own
lyrica,
pristiq
or
stasis
that
we
are
proposing
to
eliminate
those
because
they
have
a
generic
or
a
lower-cost
name-brand
option
that
is
therapeutically
and
clinically
the
same.
That
projected
savings
is
two
hundred
eight
thousand
and
seventy-five
dollars.
J
The
next
proposal
is
to
change
specific
medications
to
a
non
preferred
tier,
which
would
mean
a
higher
copay
for
these
drugs.
So
majority
of
these
are
currently
a
forty
dollar
copay
and
they
would
go
to
$60
under
the
plan
design.
All
of
these
prescriptions
have
a
much
less
costly
therapeutic
equivalent
drug
available
and
those
include
bite
or
Inlet
OODA,
rel,
packs,
vyvanse
and
new
vigil
that
projected
savings
is
twenty
three
thousand
nine
hundred
and
sixty
dollars.
J
The
next
proposal
is
to
substitute
certain
hormone
replacement
drugs
like
for
testa
and
Rogell
and
AXIRON
with
lower
cost
compounded
drugs.
Again,
these
drugs
have
no
therapeutic
or
clinical
advantage
over
these
lower-cost,
compounded
drugs
that
can
be
obtained
locally
and
that
projected
savings
is
one
hundred
thousand
one
hundred
dollars.
J
The
next
proposal
is
to
implement
a
higher
cost
share
percentage
cost
share
on
lifestyle
drugs.
These
are
drugs
that
don't
have
an
overall
health
impact
or
impact
a
members
health.
So
that's
going
to
be
viagra
cialis
levitra.
So
if
we
put
in
a
proposal
where
the
members
paid
fifty
percent
of
these
drugs,
that
would
save
the
plan.
Fifty
eight
thousand
eight
hundred
and
ninety
five
dollars
and
then
the
final.
My
recommendation
is
to
increase
the
copay
on
specialty
medications.
Specialty
medications
are
high,
cost
injectable
drugs.
J
You
see
these
often
on
advertisements
with
Humera
embroil
they're,
the
most
common
commonly
advertised
of
medications.
They
are
very
expensive,
so
they're,
normally
two
thousand
five
thousand
dollars
a
month.
Members
are
currently
paying
$60
for
these
medications
and
in
some
scenarios,
there's
no
alternative
for
these
medications.
That
is
what's
needed
to
treat
their
condition,
but
in
other
scenarios
there
is
an
option.
J
J
Movio
similars
as
the
covered
prescription
as
those
are
available
on
the
market
for
those
specialty
drugs
biosimilars
are
going
to
be
the
generic
version
of
those
biologic
expensive,
humor
umbral
medications
that
I
discussed.
However,
the
first
was
approved
in
2015
by
the
fda,
but
has
not
yet
come
to
the
market,
there's
more
to
be
approved
this
year,
but
none
that
have
come
to
the
market.
J
J
Then
the
last
recommendation
to
accomplish
new
increase
for
2018
is
not
within
plan
design,
but
within
the
revenue
driven
into
the
plan,
and
this
is
to
reinstate
the
tobacco
surcharge.
The
tobacco
surcharge
is
proposed
at
$50
a
month
and
that
will
apply
to
all
employees
who
use
tobacco
products.
However,
there
will
be
a
reasonable
alternative
program
available.
Well
aware.
If
members
participate
in
a
tobacco
cessation
program,
they
will
be
able
to
the
surcharge
will
be
waived.
J
So
even
if
they're
not
successful
in
quitting
use
of
tobacco
products,
if
they
complete
that
program
successfully,
then
they
will
not
incur
the
surcharge.
In
the
past
a
surcharge
had
applied
to
about
500
employees
when
this
was
previously
in
place.
We're
estimating
that
about
300
would
end
up
paying
the
surcharge
not
going
through
that
tobacco
cessation
program,
and
that
would
generate
a
hundred
and
eighty
thousand
dollars
in
additional
revenue
to
offset
the
increased
funding
needed
to
the
plan.
J
Next
I
wanted
to
provide
an
update
on
the
health
and
wellness
center
program
and
the
overall
wellness
program
initiative
for
County
or
17.
We
implemented
the
health
and
wellness
center
was
expanded,
availability
to
all
members,
and
we
also
put
in
place
a
new
vendor
that
has
been
very
successful
and
we
received
great
feedback
from
the
employees
and
dependents
that
have
utilized
the
health
and
wellness
center
with
the
new
vendor
and
as
a
part
of
that,
we
implemented
a
wellness
initiative
for
employees
to
have
a
personal
health
assessment.
J
So
to
answer
a
question
on
their
overall
habits,
how
they
eat
their
stress
levels,
just
their
overall
risk
levels
and
then
complete
a
biometric
screening,
so
to
look
at
their
cholesterol,
their
blood
pressure,
their
height
and
weight
and
evaluate
their
overall
health
risk
as
an
incentive
to
participate
in
the
program
we
implemented
a
$500
deductible,
offset
we've
had
so
far.
449
participants
within
this
program,
so
about
20%
of
our
population,
has
had
this
personal
health
assessment.
J
We
know
that
the
20%
is
well
below
ideal
participation
in
the
program.
Ideal
participation
is
more
85
to
90%,
because
this
allows
us
to
touch
the
population-
that's
not
going
in
for
an
annual
physical
that
we
need
to
identify
early
their
their
risk
and
manage
those
conditions
that
have
the
potential
to
increase
in
severity
and
be
a
large
expense
and
claims
cost
to
the
plan
and
also
to
help
our
employees
become
healthier
and
identify
their
unknown
risk.
J
So
our
goal
in
2018
is
to
increase
communication
of
the
wellness
program
of
the
value
of
participating
in
the
program
and
the
value
of
the
health
and
wellness
center,
and
then
it
was
also
proposed
by
the
employee
benefits
committee
that
a
more
valuable
incentive
to
employees
instead
of
the
deductible
offset
credit
would
be
to
provide
to
wellness
days
or
additional
time
off
days
or
leave
days
for
participating
in
the
program
that
employees
would
see.
That
is
more
valuable
as
an
incentive
to
participate.
J
N
Know-
and
we
spoke
about
this-
that
to
me-
you
know
in
the
long
run,
this
is
a
win-win
for
everybody,
so
we
definitely
went
for
each
of
the
employees.
I
mean
something
like
this
would
be
a
fortune
on
the
outside,
and
it's
good
to
know
by
the
way,
what
your
numbers
are
and
then
secondly,
I
think.
If
you
push
the
thought
that,
if
then
continue
this,
it
will
automatically
drive
down
the
premium
cost.
So
it's
a
win-win.
N
Every
way
you
look
at
it
and
I
know
what
talked
to
Lisa
and
I
know
that
you
are
advertising
it
among
employees.
I,
don't
know
exactly
what
the
problem,
because
this
is
really
a
gift,
a
huge
gift
personally
for
the
employees
and
then
in
a
long
run
as
far
as
private
down
the
cost
so
and
I
know,
I
think
we
just
speak
you're,
letting
them
know
that
it's
a
double
gift.
You
are
letting
the
employees
know
that
so
I
just
don't
know,
20
percent
I
mean
or
something
like
this.
There
is
such
a
huge
gift.
N
I'm,
coming
from
the
standpoint
that
that
I
was
more,
the
employees
did
it
because
it's
you
should
know
what
your
numbers
are.
You
should
know
what
your
health
status
is,
and,
secondly,
if
you
look
down
to
everybody's
we're
fortunate
enough
to
not
to
raise
this
year,
but
in
order
to
help
them
in
the
long
run
more,
the
employees
need
to
take
this
here.
Definitely.
P
N
I'm
not
talking
about
the
closeness
this
course
is
a
lot
because
a
lot
of
money
up
there
to
come
out
of
pocket.
So
this
is
free
one
and
then.
Secondly,
it's
huge
to
know
what
your
stat,
what
your
health
stats,
because
there
are
a
lot
of
individuals
that
I
find
in
the
community
I'm
walking
around.
They
don't
even
realize
things
that
are
going
to
be
affecting
them
later.
N
J
Q
Q
J
J
Q
A
Counsel
Baker
speaks
I
just
want
to
ask
about
the
tonight
with
two
quick
things.
One
number
one
I
thought
we
were
still
charged
I
guess
we
dropped
it
last
year.
The
other
question
is:
what
is
what
what
happens
an
employee?
They
find
he,
but
they
put
down
their
nada
tobacco
use.
They
finally
use
tobacco.
What
happens
to
them
when
they
go
to
try
to
file
for
their
health
insurance.
H
A
H
F
Questions
about
the
$500
incentive
program
as
I
was
reading
some
of
the
information
that
came
out
after
we
had
passed.
It
I
didn't
really,
and
it
was
talking
about
the
end
of
the
last
deductible
dollars.
Trank
could
be
used,
explain
that
a
little
bit,
and
would
it
be
any
benefit
moving
up
to?
Let
it
be
the
first
deductible
dollars.
Would
that
encourage
it.
J
Pleases
it
would
encourage
additional
utilization,
but
it
would
have
a
large
impact
to
the
budget,
because
then
we're
going
to
pay
first
dollar
coverage,
which
majority
of
employees
are
accumulating
some
portion
of
their
deductible.
So
it's
put
on
the
back
end
to
be
a
lesser
impact
on
the
overall
budget,
the
expense
of
the
plan,
but
still
be
an
incentive
to
reduce
your
overall
expense.
The
members
over
all
expenses,
okay,.
F
I
was
just
trying
to
for
the
benefit
the
employees
get
the
most
use
of
it,
which
was
our
intent
to
help
them
mitigate
the
cost.
It
seemed
like
moving
up
to
the
front
end,
but
would
help
them
of
course,
this
year,
there's
not
an
increase
but
but
nonetheless,
but
I
haven't
had
time
to
work
with
the
budget
piece
of
that.
Okay.
So.
J
M
H
When
the
rules
regarding
the
Affordable
Care
Act
changed
such
that
we
would
have
the
tobacco
we
had
the
surcharge
in
place
for
tobacco
users,
and
we
would
have
to
have
done
exactly
what's
being
described
now,
offer
a
reasonable
alternative
such
that.
If
the
employee
participated
in
the
reasonable
alternative,
then
they
would
no
longer
have
to
pay
the
surcharge.
So
hindsight
is
20/20.
If
I
had
known
like
I
know
now,
I
think
I
would
not
have
recommended
that
we
do
away
with
it.
M
H
M
A
J
So
we'll
hit
it
briefly
on
page
19,
we
have
the
overall
stratification
of
the
risk,
based
on
the
twenty
percent
of
that
population
that
did
participate
in
the
personal
health
assessment,
so
62
percent
were
moderate
risk.
Ten
percent
high
risk
and
twenty-eight
percent
low
risk
I
did
provide
you
also
a
handout
of
the
personal
health
summary.
This
is
a
brochure
that
members
receive
upon
completing
the
personal
health
assessment.
Again.
J
This
is
a
very
valuable
piece
that
tells
them
in
detail
where
they
stand,
based
on
all
their
numbers
with
blood
pressure,
BMI
cholesterol,
it
gives
them
a
green,
yellow,
red
coding
to
know
what's
in
a
good
range,
what's
at
risk
and
to
know
where
they
should
stand
to
be
in
a
good
range.
It
also
gives
them
a
projection
on
their
risk
for
cardiovascular
disease
based
on
their
numbers.
J
So
out
of
this
population,
449
that
completed
the
personal
health
assessment,
268
were
pre-hypertensive
based
on
their
levels,
and
we
know
that
standards
tell
us
left
unmanaged,
46
percent
those
could
convert
to
being
hypertensive
untreated.
Hypertension
leads
to
a
stroke
in
more
than
25%
of
patients.
Stroke
patients
cost
about
136
thousand
dollars
for
treatment
of
the
stroke
in
follow-up
care,
so
the
potential
increased
risk
cost
of
the
stroke
is
4.2
million
dollars
and
again
that's
based
off
of
just
20%
of
the
population.
J
So
this
is
just
to
show
how
identifying
and
managing
these
types
of
risk
early
on
can
have
a
large
impact
to
the
members
health
into
the
savings
to
the
plan
by
avoiding
these
types
of
high-cost
claimants,
such
as
a
stroke,
high
cholesterol,
77
percent
of
participants
had
elevated
cholesterol
levels.
This
we
know
that
high
cholesterol
leads
to
having
twice
the
risk
of
developing
heart
disease.
The
average
cost
of
treating
a
heart
attack
is
thirty
8501
dollars
for
the
first
90
days
after
the
heart
attack
occurs.
J
So
if
just
10%
of
this
population
had
a
heart
attack,
that's
additional
cost
of
two
hundred
and
sixty-nine
thousand
dollars
to
the
plan
so
again
spread
that
out
over
the
entire
employee
population.
We
capture
much
more
of
that
risk
and
can
impact
that
additional
expense
exposure
for
diabetes,
204
participants
were
pre-diabetic
left
unmanaged.
30%
of
those
could
convert
to
being
diabetic
within
three
years.
Each
diabetic
patient
costs
as
much
as
seven.
Seventy
eight
hundred
dollars
more
than
a
non
diabetic
patient
each
year,
according
to
the
American
Diabetes
Association.
J
So
this
is
a
potential
increased
cost
additional
of
four
hundred.
Seventy
seven
thousand
three
hundred
sixty
dollars,
utilization
with
the
healthy
within
the
health
and
wellness
center
from
just
June
2016
through
March
2017,
when
we
implemented
the
the
new
vendor
of
care
et
Cie,
managing
that
Health
and
Wellness
Center
we've
had
five
hundred
and
five
thousand
visits,
1148
unique,
different
patients,
824
treating
chronic
disease
patients,
5424
labs
were
filled,
twelve
and
400
scripts
filled
and
then
424
injections,
given
75%
of
the
visits
are
employees.
15
percent,
our
spouse
and
10
percent
are
dependent
children.
J
So,
in
addition
to
identifying
early
identification
and
managing
of
these
risk
factors
to
impact
our
claims
expense,
we
know
that
each
visit
in
lab
every
service
done
within
the
health
and
wellness
center
is
a
lower
expense
to
the
plan
versus
a
retail
provider.
So
if
we
analyze
the
average
visits,
we
would
say,
we'd
have
a
little
over
six
thousand
office
visits
for
the
year.
The
average
cost
on
the
BlueCross
BlueShield
plan
for
office
visits
and
any
lab
expenses
that
are
incurred
with
that
office
visit
is
254
dollars.
J
The
average
cost
within
the
health
and
wellness
center
is
184
dollars.
So
every
visit
that's
completed
within
the
health
and
wellness
center
saves
the
plan
$70.
So
that's
four
hundred
and
twenty
thousand
dollars
a
year
in
savings
compared
to
that
member
going
outside
to
a
retail
provider
for
prescription
drugs.
If
we
analyze
that
we
expect
to
fill
almost
$15,000.
J
$15,000
prescription
at
the
health
and
wellness
center
is
11
dollars
and
26
cents.
The
average
cost
on
the
health
plan
is
30
dollars
and
23
cents.
So
again,
that's
$18.97
and
savings
for
every
prescription.
Part
of
that
is
because
prescriptions
are
available
at
a
lower
cost
to
the
health
and
wellness
center
provider,
and
then
part
of
that
is
having
that
member
take
a
lower
cost
prescription
because
it
is
available
at
no
cost
to
them,
so
incentivizing
them
to
use
a
generic
lower
cost
alternative
annual
savings
is
projected
at
two
hundred
and
eighty
two
thousand
nine.
J
Fifty
six
so
overall
projecting
first
year
savings
within
the
health
and
wellness
center
of
a
little
over
seven
hundred
three
thousand
dollars
just
based
off
of
services,
completed
within
the
health
and
wellness
center,
and
then
we
know
the
larger
impact
is
on
our
claims.
Experience
by
having
members
participate
in
the
biometric
in
the
coaching
if
they're,
high-risk
and
improving
their
health.
So
we
talked
about
the
impact,
a
medical
trend
earlier.
J
If
a
plan
or
an
employer
makes
no
changes
to
their
plan
to
impact
cost
in
future
years,
they
can
expect
to
see
an
8
to
10
percent
increase
year-over-year.
So
for
the
city,
it
would
end
up
in
2020
at
26
million
972,
so
every
year,
seeing
an
8
percent
increase
in
cost,
but
by
impacting
those
trend,
increases
and
just
moving
on
8%
to
3%
by
improving
overall
health.
By
focusing
on
these
other
initiatives
with
wellness,
we
can
bend
that
trendline
and
it
would
save
the
plan
overall.
J
4.9
million
dollars
over
the
next
five
years
so
quickly
highlight
some
other
considerations
that
were
brought
up
last
year
after
the
budget
proposal.
First
was
a
proposal
from
an
outside
source
to
look
at
direct
contracting
with
the
local
hospital
and
have
a
narrow
network
for
our
members
to
utilize
one
hospital
with
it
within
the
area
and
have
lower
pricing.
J
This
would
only
be
possible
if
we
do
not
contract
with
Blue
Cross
Blue
Shield
for
our
medical
plans
that
we're
currently
evaluating
a
claims
analysis.
The
repricing
analysis
to
determine
if
we
did
move
our
vendor
to
another
carrier
or
a
party
administrator
for
the
plan.
We
could
look
at
that
type
of
narrow,
restricted
network
with
the
hospital,
but
likely
we're
going
to
see
an
increase
in
our
expenses
for
all
other
providers.
J
So
we're
currently
working
through
that
analysis
to
identify
if
it
would
generate
any
savings
overall
and
then
what
disruption
would
that
provide
the
members
by
having
access
to
only
potentially
one
hospital
in
the
area?
The
other
proposal
was
to
implement
telemedicine
that
was
already
in
the
works
and
was
implemented
for
January
1st
2017
2017
with
tele
doc.
We
had
118
employees
enroll
in
that
program.
21
consultations
have
been
used
so
far
this
year
since
January
projected
savings
about
fifty
eight
hundred
dollars,
because
at
the
end
of
their
consultation,
they
are
asked.
J
J
It
was
also
proposed
to
provide
health
care
counselors
and
advocates.
Shaw
Hankins
does
provide
benefit
counselors
to
insist
employees
with
educating
them
on
their
plan
on
what
their
options
are
and
what
would
be
the
best
option
for
them
and
their
family
and
then
also
to
assist
with
making
their
enrollment
elections.
J
So
we
come
on-site
and
are
available
for
employees
to
sit
one-on-one
with
a
counselor,
and
we
also
have
our
our
service
team
available
telephonically
to
answer
any
questions,
help
complete
the
enrollment
and
then
also
throughout
the
year
to
act
as
their
advocate
to
navigate
the
health
care
system.
Answer
any
questions
about
how
a
claim
may
be
paid
to
work
on
their
behalf
with
a
provider
to
ensure
that
it's
paid
accurately
and
then
also
help
them
just
maximize
the
value
of
their
benefits,
so
that
is
available
year-round
with
our
our
service
team.
J
Another
proposal
is
to
use
data
and
analysis
to
reduce
cost.
We
do
provide
monthly
claims
reporting
to
HR
and
finance
departments
so
that
we're
monitoring
trends
and
cost
changes
in
enrollment.
Any
large
claims
that
may
impact
our
future
costs
the
prognosis
on
those
and
how
long
they
may
impact
the
plan
and
any
spikes
and
utilization
and
identifying
what's
driving
those.
We
also
provide
annual
reporting
through
z-wave.
J
That
shows
us
compared
to
national
benchmarks
for
other
local
governments,
other
employers
within
the
southeast
and
other
employers
within
our
region,
to
identify
how
the
city's
expenses
stack
up
compared
to
these
other
health
plans.
The
next
proposal
was
to
implement,
stop
loss
coverage.
Stuff
loss
would
protect
the
plan
for
any
claims
over
a
specific
amount.
So
normally
we
would
see
that
around
$300,000,
and
that
would
mean
that
if
a
member
incurred
claims
over
$300,000,
then
the
plan
would
no
longer
be
responsible
and
it's
reinsured
through
an
outside
insurance
carrier
that
is
reviewed
annually.
J
As
a
part
of
our
plan
renewal
process
for
2017,
we
did
review
that
and
the
lowest
cost
would
have
been
nine
hundred
and
forty
thousand
dollars
an
annual
premium
for
that
three
hundred
thousand
dollar
specific
deductible
coverage.
We
only
had
one
claim
in
2016
that
went
over
three
hundred
thousand
dollars.
That
was
three
hundred
twenty
eight
thousand
forty
seven.
So
in
that
scenario,
we
would
have
received
twenty
eight
thousand
dollars
in
reimbursement
and
has
expended
nine
hundred
forty
thousand
dollars
for
premium.
J
So
historically,
that
has
not
made
sense
for
the
city
to
carry
that
stop-loss
coverage.
The
next
recommendation
was
to
convert
qualifying
children
to
peach
care.
We
did
provide
some
guidance
there
that
children
must
be
uninsured
for
two
months
prior
to
enrolling
and
that
if
they
are
not
approved
for
peach
care
upon
that
two
month
lag
in
coverage,
then
their
next
qualifying
event
to
come
back
on
to
the
city's
plan
would
be
the
next
open,
enrollment
or
the
next
January
first.
J
It
was
also
recommended
that
the
city
may
want
to
contribute
to
that
peach
care
premium,
that
does
impact
affordability,
calculations
for
the
Affordable
Care
Act,
because
any
additional
contributions
that
the
city
provides
for
an
employee
to
opt
out
of
coverage
that
the
city
is
calculated
into
their
affordability
and
that
would
push
them
over
the
affordability
threshold.
So
again
did
caution
on
that
option
and
then,
finally,
it
was
recommended
to
encourage
and
convert
employees
over
65
to
Medicare.
This
goes
against
Medicare
regulations,
which
we
did
outline.
A
D
A
Well,
thank
you
and
thank
your
team
that
we
appreciate
very
much
he'll
come,
and
this
is
this
is
always
one
of
the
more
difficult
areas
to
grasp
for
us
on
how
to
mitigate
some
of
the
rising
costs,
and
our
goal
is
not
wavering,
that
is,
to
provide
the
absolute
best
health
cost
health
care
that
we
can
in
affordable
manner
to
to
our
employees.
And
it's
getting
harder
and
harder
to
do
in
I.
Don't
want
to
start
a
whole
nother
discussion,
but
it
appears
that
politically
we
may
be
heading
to
reshuffle
the
deck
anyway.
Yes,.
J
It's
something
we
definitely
stay
in
front
of
what
changes
are
being
proposed
and
what
may
be
approved.
So
at
this
point
I
know
there
is
a
different
recommendation
on
the
table.
It
may
affect
pre-existing
conditions,
and
so
we
definitely
keep
the
city
updated
on
what's
changing
and
when
that
may
occur
so.
A
J
Definitely
do
so.
We
take
the
consideration
as
we're
projecting
into
2018
of
what
changes
may
come
into
place,
and
then
our
legal
team
also
sends
here's
what
Rhett
is
what's
recommended
and
what
that
means
for
employers
and
what
we
should
be
considering.
So
that
comes
out
fairly
frequently.
As
anything
new
comes
out
of
all.
A
A
I
Afternoon,
mayor
Thomason
and
Budget
Chairman,
Henderson
councillors,
city
manager,
city
attorney,
I,
want
to
thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
come
out
and
present
my
budget
presentation
and
the
issues
that
are
affecting
the
Marshall's
office.
As
you
know,
we've
had
some
pretty
difficult
times
over
the
past
two
three
years
and
I
know
that,
sometimes
that
they
can
create
differences
differences,
so
I
hope
that
today,
that
we
can
work
through
any
difference
or
any
risks
and
heal
those
to
work
for
what
we're
here
to
do
and
that
is
to
carry
out
the
business
of
the
people.
I
As
you
know,
the
marshal's
office
is
comprised
of
trained
sworn
certified
peace
officers
that
have
full
arrest
powers.
Therefore,
they
must
be
equipped
with
the
vital
tools
needed
and
necessary
for
them
to
carry
out
their
jobs.
We
carry
the
same
ballistic
bulletproof
vests
that
the
Columbus
Police
Department
and
the
Sheriff's
Office
carry.
We
go
through
the
same
yearly
training
and,
if
called
to
back
them
up,
we
have
to
respond.
I
Therefore,
we
have
to
be
trained
in
order
to
do
that,
although
we
serve
out,
although
we
serve
and
carry
out
the
precepts
of
the
Municipal
Court,
we
encounter
things
like
one
at
felons,
drugs,
weapons
and
other
disputes
involving
civil
matters
and
I'm.
Here,
as
an
advocate
for
the
marshal's
office,
as
you
know,
I
have
a
passion
for
what
I
do
and
for
those
that
I
represent
in
the
Marshall's
office,
but
we
enter
into
the
unknowns.
I
Our
job
is
very,
very
dangerous
and
to
enter
into
a
dwelling
that
you
don't
know
what's
on
the
other
side
can
be
a
very
dangerous
yeah,
but
I'll
get
into
my
presentation.
I
just
wanted
to
make
that
I
go
into
the
budget
because
of
time
I'm
here
today
to
discuss
our
FY
18
budget
presentation
in
the
agenda
agenda
items.
What
we're
asking
for
are
two
things
two
things
and
that
is
to
fund
the
three
positions
that
were
defunded
in
the
FY
16
budget
in
vehicle
replacements,
for
the
FY
18
budget.
I
In
the
marshal's
office.
We
we
don't
have
a
large
number
of
deputies
working,
but
if
someone
calls
in
sick
or
if
they're
in
training
vacation,
it
cripples
our
operation.
If
our
dispatcher
is
out
sick,
all
of
our
deputies
across
train,
one
of
the
deputies
would
have
to
come
in
and
dispatch.
It
leaves
one
less
person,
deputies
in
the
field
which
could
which
could
potentially
make
the
other
deputies
job
a
little
bit
dangerous.
I
We
have
a
backlog
of
evictions.
There
used
to
be
a
time
that
we
could
give
a
24-hour
notice
and
the
parties
would
move.
That's
not
happening
anymore.
I,
don't
know
if
that's
due
to
a
lack
of
job
or
they
just
have
absolutely
nowhere
to
go,
but
it's,
but
it's
putting
a
damper
on
what
we
do,
because
when
we
have
to
stay
out
of
eviction
longer
than
we
normally
do,
it
backs
up
everything
else.
I
Want
to
speak
about
our
vehicle
replacement
needs,
the
Columbus
consolidated
government
policy
or
the
protocol
that
they've
always
followed,
has
been
for
turning
in
vehicles
is
seven
years
or
100,000
miles.
We
spoke
with
the
CCD
fleet
manager
yesterday,
just
to
verify
that
he
sent
to
us
what
he
looked
at
and
studied
and
he's
recommending
that
we
turn
in
eight
vehicles
that
are
exceeding
100,000
miles
or
the
age
requirement.
I
We
have
vehicles
that
we
have
to
jump
off
on
a
regular
basis.
We
have
vehicles
that
are
squeaking
and
we've
had
to
change
out
two
engines.
We've
had
to
change
out,
I
believe
two
or
three
transmissions
and
the
older
and
older
those
cars
get
the
more
where
is
put
on
those
vehicles.
It
costs
us
more
in
it
eats
up
our
automotive
parts
budget.
So
we're
just
asking
that
the
council
will
consider
this
in
our
2018.
I
Let's
see
one
out
here:
I
don't
have
a
screen
anymore:
okay,
I'm,
sorry,
I've
covered
that
that
we've
replaced
two
engines
that
should
be
three
transmission.
We've
had
suspension
problems
and
batteries
in
it
and
that's
excluding
routine
maintenance.
You
go
back
to
see
if
I
didn't.
That's
what
I
need
to
cover
I
just
want
to.
Let
you
look
at
that.
I
know
that
the
public
can't
see
it,
but
that
is
the
recommendation
from
the
fleet
manager
on
our
on
our
vehicle.
I
So
I
just
wanted
to
point
that
out
to
you,
I
know
that
we've
been
here
before
about
the
same
thing
and
I
just
wanted
to
bring
it
back
to
your
attention
that
this
is
not
a
wish
list
is
a
neat
list.
Mr.
chairman,
okay
and
you
do
have
that
in
your
packet
too.
Also
that
should
be
page
one
of
six
that
actually
shows
the
vehicles,
the
mouth
and
the
turn
in
replacement
value,
and
if
there
is
any
questions,
that's
the
end
of
my
presentation.
E
Been
kind
of
running
the
math
and
if
the
vehicles
that
you
request,
if
they
have
been
adhere
to
your
capital
outlay
and
I'm,
assuming
they
need
to
build
out,
come
out
about
four
hundred,
fifty
eight
thousand
or
so
on
top
of
what
you
already
requested,
the
big
part
of
those
expenses
is
the
pursuit
build-out.
If
we
were
to
be
able
to
work
some
sort
pursuit
vehicles
in
there,
can
you
take
any
of
the
parts
from
the
old
vehicles
that
are
part
of
a
pursuit
package
to
alleviate
the
27,000
build-out.
I
That
would
be
easy
to
do
for
an
admin
vehicle
because
a
admin
vehicle
doesn't
we
don't
have
to
have
a
pursuit
package
in
it
and
the
pursuit
package
is
the
computer
laptop,
the
tracking
system,
the
front
back
radar
and
I
forget
what
else
comes
in
it.
But
what
I
would
ask
the
council
to
do
is
that,
because
of
the
software
updates,
we
have
to
pay
for
that
now.
Even
our
computers
now
are
outdated,
we're
asking
for
more
computers
and
that's
what
we
have
to
pay
for
now.
I
But
if
the
council
could
allocate
me
a
dollar
amount
and
just
allow
me
to
sit
with
my
command
staff
and
to
allow
us
to
work
it
out,
we
need
vehicles
and
I
would
hate
to
have
to
borrow
parts
from
another
vehicle
in
order
to
work
that
out.
But
if
we
have
to
reduce
because
that
I
would
just
you
know,
rather
the
council
allocate
a
dollar
amount
and
let
me
get
with
my
command
staff,
because
we
do
have
to
have
updated
laptops
and
so
forth.
I
think.
E
I
E
L
E
If
we've
got
just,
let's
say
four
hundred
sixty
thousand
make
the
math
easy
for
your
vehicle
request.
What
are
your
just
so
everybody
knows
I
mean
it
may
not
be
something
gets
proved,
but
just
so
we
know
what
are
the
actual
your
priority
vehicles
you
need
to
replace.
It
looks
like
you've
got
you
2005,
creme
bits
that
are
that's.
I
I
E
I
B
F
A
B
To
make
two
corrections
to
the
marshals:
well,
one
collection
to
the
presentation.
As
far
as
the
allocated
budget
differences
I'm
better
listed
for
FY,
14
and
15,
those
are
actual
expenditures,
not
the
adopted
budget.
The
adopted
budget
for
fy14
was
1
million,
two
hundred
sixty
three
thousand
and
seventy
eight
dollars
and
the
adopted
budget
for
FY
15
was
1
million
two
hundred
fifty
five
dollars
for
55
thousand
four
hundred
and
forty
four
dollars.
So
the
difference
between
the
two
fiscal
years,
as
from
an
adopted
budget
standpoint,
was
seven
thousand
six
hundred
and
thirty-four
dollars.
B
But
I
will
say
the
percent.
The
city's
contribution
for
the
pension
percentages
did
fluctuate
for
those
fiscal
years
as
well.
It
did
decrease
so
from
F,
wise
I'm
14,
the
public
safety
pension
contribution
was
23%.
General
government
was
20%.
That
was
what
was
allocated
in
the
budgets,
but
in
FY
15
that
number
reduced
to
where
we
were
only
allocating
22%
for
public
safety,
pensions
and
17%
for
general
government,
so
some
of
that
difference
would
be
accounted
for
with
our
contribution
rates
changing
from
year
to
year.
B
A
C
O
Try
mm-hmm,
okay,
because
he
said
he's
understaffed,
so
we're
looking
at
he's
asking
for
those
three.
So
if
we
can
get
those
three
or
one
two,
something
then
but
anyway,
my
point
at
this
juncture
in
the
road
is
regardless
of
how
we
all
feel
most.
Our
public
safety
departments
are
usually
taken
care
of
to
the
point
that
they
can
do
their
core
mission
and
his
core
mission
is
to
handle
the
courts
and
evictions
and
things
of
that
nature.
So.
O
Outside
in
like
this,
you
know,
the
council
participated
in
the
budget
cuts
about
three
or
four
years
ago,
what
we
lost
our
travel
budget
and
I've
been
serving
on
a
bullet
representing
the
city
through
all
the
throughout
all
of
this
budget,
cut
situation
and
I've
been
paying
my
own
way
to
represent
Columbus,
Muscogee
and
I
just
rolled
off
of
a
bullet
a
couple
days
ago,
and
it
was
flipping
for
me.
How
can
you
be
from
the
second
largest
city
and
have
to
pay
your
own
way?
O
I
said
well,
I,
don't
know,
but
anyway,
we're
going
through
a
few
things
and
I.
Take
this
seriously
enough
to
be
here
to
represent
Columbus
must
go
again
and
get
the
job
done.
So
what
I'm
saying
all
that
to
say
is
it's
not
a
good
look
for
the
second-largest
city
to
have
their
Marshal
Department,
jumping
off
cars
and
cannibalizing
other
cars
in
order
to
do
their
core
mission,
so
the
pursuit
vehicles
we
talked
about.
O
This
I
think
when
I
first
came
on
board
is
necessary
because
of
the
danger
of
the
people
that
they
sometimes
encounter,
and
they
have
to
arrest
people
from
time
to
time,
and
you
just
don't
want
anybody
sitting
behind
you
that
needs
to
be.
You
need
to
have
a
cage
between
you,
even
after
handcuffing,
an
individual,
because
it's
a
dangerous
job,
but
they
need
new
cars.
My
question
is
with
the
recommendations
of
the
fleet
manager
and
our
policy
that
has
been
in
place
since
I've
been
on
board
since
2011.
O
B
B
B
O
In
that
distribution
of
the
Olaf,
if
I
remember
correctly,
when
the
mayor
did
a
budget
letter,
it
was
30
something
percent
for
the
police
department
and
30-some
percent
for
the
Sheriff
Department,
and
the
marshal
only
got
0.2%
and
just
did
seem
like.
If
that
percentage
was
a
little
higher,
he
was
been
able
to
get
at
least
a
couple
of
pursuit
vehicles
and
at
men,
car.
D
O
But
let
me
let
me
pick
before
we
get
to
that.
If
you
take
those
numbers
that
you
stated
whatever
those
numbers
are
and
you
divide
them
out,
you'll
come
out
at
about
26
point
some
percent.
So
my
question
is
the
same
as
council
Garrett.
If
you
take
the
monies
that
were
available
to
public
safety
and
distribute
them
out
at
about
26
percent,
there's
money
there
for
the
cost.
G
D
A
Of
process
I
mean
if,
if
councillor
huff,
wants
to
place
a
couple
of
vehicles
on
the
ad
list,
we
ought
to
do
it,
because
what
this
is
we're
at
the
very
threshold
of
starting
to
examine
this
budget
and
over
the
next
several
weeks
we'll
be
going
through
it
we'll
have
an
opportunity
to
go
pick
through
on
the
thumb,
drive
and
hear
from
other
other
agencies
as
well
other
departments.
So
that's
the
whole
purpose
of
the
ad
new
league
list.
A
If
councillor
Huff
feels
strongly
about
it
and
I
know,
councillor
Garrett
had
mentioned
the
same
thing
put
them
on
there
and
then
we'll
revisit
them
at
the
end
and
we'll
look
in
the
meantime.
Both
these
gentlemen,
I'm
sure,
will
work
with
staff
to
try
to
identify
funding
to
offset
that,
and
you
know
so
that
process
has
worked
in
the
past.
G
A
So
and
I
just
think,
that's
better
because
if
we
work
in
a
silo,
we're
going
to
end
up
piecemealing
and
what
we
really
desperately
need,
we
just
haven't
had
the
money
to
do
it,
but
what
we
need
is
a
comprehensive
plan
on
how
we're
going
to
try
to
address
the
the
replacement,
the
vehicle
replacement
program,
but
Marshall
needs
he's
over
the
limit.
I
mean
I,
get
it.
If
we
had
the
money
that
I
think
it's
a
no-brainer,
we
put
those
vehicles
in
there,
but
we
need
to
look
at
it
from
a
holistic
viewpoint.
A
O
O
D
G
I
R
1,075,000
404
the
police
department
made
a
request
for
1.5
million,
which
included
the
24
suit
vehicles,
five
Tahoe
pursuit
vehicles,
two
motorcycles
and
three
admin
vehicles
and
what
was
recommended
was
eight
pursuit
vehicles.
They
have
close
to
a
hundred
that
meet
the
requirements,
but
they
put
in
the
request
for
twenty
to
try
to
address
those
that
are
the
oldest
and
we've
recommended
to
fund
eight
for
the
fire
department.
R
Their
request
was
five
million
seven
hundred
ninety
eight
thousand
two
hundred
and
fifty,
which
included
protective
clothing,
thermal
imaging
camera,
relocation
of
the
Cascade
system,
27
mobile
data
terminals,
ten
computers
for
the
ambulances,
imagetrend
hosting
database,
three
ambulances,
three
engines,
three
quints
for
staff
vehicles
and
other
requests
of
over
two
hundred
and
ninety
four
thousand.
What
was
recommended
for
them
was
their
number
one
priority,
which
was
the
protective
clothing
at
one
hundred
and
fifty
six
thousand.
R
So,
as
you
can
see
as
we
go
through
these
requests,
the
request
far
exceed
the
amount
that's
available
to
allocate
to
the
public
safety
departments.
Out
of
a
loss
of
the
next
was
MC
P.
The
to
capital
requests
that
they
had
on
their
list
was
a
freezer
cooler
replacement
and
also
to
do
some
road
paving
out
it
there
facility.
The
item
recommended
was
the
freezer
cooler
replacement.
R
For
the
marshal's
office
was
the
equipment,
generic
listing
for
$10,000
ammunition
for
$10,000
in
the
license
plate
reader
renewal
at
2200
and
that's
the
item
that
was
recommended
for
approval
and
then
on.
The
sheriff
request
was
1
million,
seven
hundred
and
forty
two
thousand,
and
you
can
see
from
the
attachment
their
request
under
their
ranking.
R
So
just
two.
We
look
at
the
amount
that's
available.
After
all,
other
obligations
are
appropriated
to
determine
what's
available
for
capital.
We
go
through
the
requests
that
were
submitted
and
try
to
prioritize
the
recommended
counts
of
capital,
based
on
the
request
from
the
department
or
the
office
and
as
Miss
Alexander
has
stated,
Council
has
the
option
to
reallocate
any
of
that
recommended
capital
between
the
organization's.
R
The
revenue
is
down
about
1.3
million
dollars
for
a
loss,
so
it
did
restrict
the
amount
that's
available
for
capital
to
appropriate
to
Public
Safety
and
we'll
come
back
with
the
report
that
shows
you
the
vehicles
from
Police
Fire,
Marshal
sheriff
that
needs
to
be
replaced.
We
just
don't
have
the
means
to
do
that.
E
E
They
do
have
a
serious
issue.
When
people
are
out
on
vacation
and
when
somebody
calls
out
sick
I
know
we
can't
add
personnel,
everybody
wants,
but
I
would
request.
We
add
one
g14
deputy,
but
so
they
at
least
have
somebody
to
cover
for
them.
And
hopefully,
if
times
are
better,
we
can
do
do
more,
but
anything
we
do
get
more
law
enforcement
on
the
street
as
a
positive
change.
Okay,.
B
O
O
But
at
this
point
our
counsel
Garrett
has
added
everything
back
the
cars
that
we
were
speaking
of,
but
at
some
point
what
is
procedure
for
the
city
in
doing
just?
What's
right,
if
you
have
policy
to
say
their
cars
a
hundred
thousand
miles,
plus
they
are
seven
plus
years
old.
At
what
point
do
we
just
exchange
their
car
when.
R
There's
funding
available
and
that's
an
issue
with
capital
across
the
board
throughout
the
city
is
funding
for
capital.
We
have
the
same
issue
in
the
general
fund.
We
have
the
same
issue
out
of
a
loss.
We've
had
the
same
issue
out
of
integrated
waste
for
garbage
trucks,
we've
replaced
29,
but
they're
still,
you
know
at
a
total
of
71.
So
it's
just
a
funding
issue.
I.
O
It
was
have
to
take
it
the
carpet
any
exception.
Yeah.
We
had
to
go
back
and
find
a
way
to
do
the
garbage
trucks
and
do
things
of
that
nature.
But
what
I'm
saying
is
this
is
year
three
I
think
he
just
stated
that
he's
asking
for
vehicles
at
what
point
do
we
give
him
I
mean
it's
public
safety
and
they're
going
out
putting
their
lives
at
risk
to
do
evictions
and
things
of
this
nature.
So
at
what
point
do
we
look
at
and
say?
C
D
C
Put
that
program
together
and
the
main
part
of
that
program
was
that
seventy
percent
excuse
me
of
the
33
million
dollar-plus
that
we're
collecting
we
anticipate
to
collect
would
go
to
public
safety
and
30
percent
of
that
would
go
to
roads
and
infrastructure
and
all
that
seventy
percent
that
goes
to
public
safety.
There
were
certain
personnel
issues
that
were
to
be
addressed.
C
This
number
of
dollars
is
going
over
here,
and
this
number
of
dollars
is
going
over
here
and
what
we
have
done
is
we
have
said
the
capital
project
money.
Is
this
amount
of
money,
and
we've
got
more
stuff
over
here
that
we're
paying
out
of
that
Olaf
there's
nothing
that
there
was
nothing
in
the
are
lost
presentations
to
the
public
because
I
made
them.
C
C
G
Gentleman,
you
know
what
what
you
have
before.
You
is
the
proposed
method
of
spending
a
million
seventy-five
thousand
dollars.
We
are
guided
by
your
direction
and
we
are
ready
and
willing,
at
your
word,
to
move
that
money
any
way
you
want.
It
moved
and
your
the
legislative
body,
it's
all
in
your
hands
if
you
want
to
take
clam
prevention
money
and
do
something
different
with
it
you're
the
boss,
all
you
got
to
do
is
say
the
word
and
we're
ready
to
move.
So
we
are
got
about
your
direction.
Just
know
that
Thank
You
Chancellor.
P
Want
to
ask
them
the
deputy
city
manager
we're
getting
more
and
more
of
these
problems
when
our
employees
vehicles
are
not
safe
and
we're
having
these
issues
I'm,
not
an
accountant,
so
I
don't
know,
but
I'm.
Just
thinking
couldn't
there
be
like
an
Iowa,
a
line-item
set
aside
that
the
interest
that
the
money
is
being
received
from
the
loss
or
a
percentage
of
the
ticket
be
placed
in
a
line
items
for
real
full
replacement.
P
Just
like
we
do
the
sales
tax
for
a
hotel
motel
how
the
state
does
it
says
once
one
penny
or
one
percent
goes
to
this
or
goes
to.
That
is
that's
something
that
you
can
go
back
and
considered
because
it's
true,
you
know
our
public
safety,
our
public
works
they're
out
there
serving
community
and
they
are
in
danger
and
yes,
we're
in
a
budget
car.
But
sometimes
we
have
to
look
out
of
the
box
like
we
do
on
our
own
financial
budget.
P
M
Miss
budget
chair
and
just
kind
of
look
at
this
we're
just
starting
itself.
Like
the
budget
chair
just
talked
a
little
while
ago,
I'm
sure,
there's
gonna
be
a
lot
of
apartments
that
are
coming
up
here
and
everybody's,
going
to
some
what
lack
of
a
better
term
the
login
for
each
each
Department
and
rightfully
so,
and
certainly
we
can
all
make
the
arguments
that
there's
going
to
be
needed
funds,
but
the
truth
of
the
matter
is
the
facts,
the
facts
in
this
or
that
we've
got
a
budget
that's
been
put
before
us.
M
That's
been
put
right
up
to
the
60-day
mark
and
we've
got
very
delimited,
cushion
right
at
400,000
or
just
a
little
bit
over
400,000
to
work
with.
Okay,
that's
a
fact.
The
other
fact
is
that
that
sales
tax
revenue
has
come
in
lower
we're
not
bringing
in
what
we
used
to
bring
in
the
other
fact.
Along
with
that
is
that
they'd
lost
every
day
every
year
becomes
more
labor-intensive
I'd
that
we
have
to
come
up
with
more
month.
More
money
is
being
used
to
handle
the
labor
cost,
and
that
is
true.
M
Somehow
that's
going
to
have
to
be
addressed
in
the
future,
whether
this
council's
here
and
other
councils
here
that's
going
to
have
to
be
addressed
and
I,
don't
think
the
loss
was
ever
intended
to
be
so
labor-intensive
fied
that
it
has
to
be
supported.
From
that
standpoint,
it
carries
every
year
longer
employee
stays
with
us
and
more
monies
having
to
be
paid
out
every
year
every
year.
Any
new
requests
that
come
in
more
monies
being
paid
out.
That's
less
for
capital
replacement!
That's
a
fact!
That's
just
mathematics!
Now,
really
you've
got
400
thousand.
M
F
M
250
going
on
the
app
so
I
think
the
city
manager
and
others
are
right.
Either
we
got
to
find
somewhere
else,
take
it
from
some
other
department,
another
public
safety
agency,
but
they're.
You
know
they're
going
to
get
territorial
too
and
they're
going
to
make
their
case.
But
if
you
don't
do
that,
then
you've
got
that
little
cushion.
That's
all
we
got
to
make
decisions,
barring
that
there
is
no
emergency
needs
that
come
in
emergency
funding
and
there's
probably
going
to
be
some
departments
going
to
have
a
mergency
request.
M
So
you
know
I
just
want
to
remind
everybody
of
that
is
that's
that's
kind
of
where
we're
beginning
here
we're
beginning
less
than
we
had
last
year,
it's
less
and
bringing
in
and
less
in
the
reserve
and
mayor.
If
I'm
miss
stating
this
please
correct
me,
but
that's
you
know
we
got
to
keep
that
in
consideration,
so
I
mean
I'm
I'm
listening
to
every
request,
that's
coming
in
all
the
needs,
but
we
got
a
old
saying.
M
You
know
we're
put
in
a
position
that
we
got
to
do
more
with
less,
and
you
know
everybody's
going
to
want
some
expedite
in
time
or
needs
here
and
there,
but
you
know
we're
not
going
to
be
able
to
cover
that
that's
correct
and
the
funding
is
not
there
to
cover
that.
So
those
are
my
comments.
Thank
thank.
A
P
D
A
Thank
you,
ma'am
yeah,
I,
guess
anything
else.
We've
got
just
a
few
moments.
Well
marshal.
Please
I
understand
that
I
think
I
speak
for
everybody
up
here
when
I
say
you've
got
the
respect
of
this
council
for
the
job
that
you
do
and
the
job
that
your
your
deputies
do.
We've
been
on
the
opposite
sides
in
the
budget
session
and
even
in
courtrooms,
and
we
still
respect
what
your
folks
do
out
there
and
we
want
to
make
sure
they
have
a
they
have
an
opportunity
to
return
home
without
any
worries.
A
However,
I
will
say
this:
I'll
read
the
tea
leaves
a
little
bit
here
and
I
can
almost
promise
you
that
everybody
that
comes
before
us
and
all
the
public
safety
heads
are
going
to
say.
Their
needs
are
absolutely
critical
and
they
are
going
to
create
situations
where
there
are
safety
issues
if
they
don't
get
them.
So
we're
going
to
hear
this
again
doesn't
minimize
the
need
the
significance
of
what
you're,
requesting
and
I
hope
you
understand.
Doesn't
it
doesn't
diminish
our
desire
to
try
to
provide
it?
It's
simply
a
cold
hard
fact.
A
The
mayor
and
as
a
city
manager
pointed
I,
think
done
their
job.
They
presented
a
recommended
budget
and
now
it's
up
to
this
crew,
and
this
this
group
is
respect
all
these
folks
and
they'll.
Do
the
right
thing
then
go
make
everybody
happy,
but
I
promise
you
whatever
we
do,
will
do
for
the
right
reason.
Thank.
I
You
thank
you
so
much
mr.
chairman,
if
I
can
also
mention
too,
that
oh,
if
I
could
also
mention
too,
that
for
the
record
that
we
did
at
the
eighth
vehicles
onto
the
budget,
we
use
the
same
form
that
we
normally
use
so
I
just
want
to.
Let
the
viewing
audience
know
that
so
that
if
I
happen
to
leave
here
and
they
and
if
they
say
that
you
didn't
ask
for
vehicles,
we
did
ask
for
vehicles.
If,
yes,.
A
B
I'm
just
comment
on
what
the
I
mean
you
have
the
capital
outlay
request
that
the
city
manager
has
provided
that
shows
the
right
vehicle,
the
bright
request.
There
was
no
vehicles
requested
from
the
marshal's
office,
although
they
did
turn
in
the
capital
outlay
for
arm
that
shows
what
vehicles
they
would
be
turning
in,
had
they
requested
vehicles
and,
if
I,
don't
and
I'd
like
to
maybe
get
together
with
the
marshal's
office,
to
make
sure
that
they
understand
how
to
make
those
requests
in
the
budget.
A
I
might
I'm
certain.
The
marshal
would
be
would
welcome
that
that
input,
if
it
helps
make
the
process
smoother,
I,
think
at
this
juncture,
what
we
really
want
to
see
is
the
number
of
vehicles
that
are
over
the
recommended
life
and
and
make
it
so
that
we
can
easily
quantify
the
public
safety
vehicles.
A
And
in
any,
it
would
also
be
interesting,
as
a
mayor
pro-tem
mentioned,
to
see
reflected
in
there
somewhere
a
percentage
of
increase
in
maintenance
due
to
the
aging
fleet
I'm
certain
there's
going
to
be
some
corresponding
increase
in
maintenance.
That's
we
dealt
with
that
when
we
I
know
the
councillor.
Huff
mentioned
the
garbage
trucks
and-
and
that
was
certainly
consideration.
It
offsets
some
of
the
cost
of
providing
all
right
any
other
questions
or
comments
from
the
committee.
