Minneapolis Budget Committee - Budget Overview

A
Good
afternoon
welcome
to
our
Budget
Committee
meeting
for
September
9th
I'm
joined
by
my
colleagues,
council
members,
Andrew
Johnson,
Phillipe,
Cunningham,
Jeremy,
Schrader,
Steve,
Fletcher,
Andrea,
Jenkins
and
Kevin
Reich.
We
are
a
quorum
of
the
Budget
Committee
and
our
tasked
with
its
business.
Our
only
business
today
is
to
start
off
our
conversation
post
mayor's
budget
address,
with
with
a
presentation
from
our
budget
director
mica
interim
ill.
A
A
So
things
like
how
our
levy
came
to
the
percentage
point
that
it
is
and
the
different
levers
and
things
that
affect
it
and
I
think
it
will
give
a
good
framework
for
starting
our
department
by
department
budget
presentations
that
follow
I
believe
our
first
set
of
them
is
on
September
12th,
so
this
week,
so
I
think
I'll
just
get
right
to
it
and
invite
director
interval
up.
Thank
you
for
being
here
and
thank
you
for
putting
together
this
presentation.
I'm
excited
to
you.
B
Madam
chair
and
council
members,
thank
you
for
having
me
mica
interment
of
the
city's
budget,
director
and
I,
think
we're
I
to
characterize
the
point
of
this
presentation
a
little
bit
differently
as
the
father
of
an
18
month
old.
This
is
the
the
vegetable
eating
portion
of
our
budget
calendar
and
when
the
department's
come
later,
you'll
get
to
eat
your
macaroni
and
cheese
so
and
to
council.
B
Vice
president's
question:
I'm,
not
sure
if
there's
dessert,
that
probably
comes
with
with
markup
at
the
end,
we'll
start
out
just
as
I
always
do
acknowledging
that
while
I
stand
here
every
year
and
let
you
know
what's
gone
into
the
mayor's
recommendation,
there
are
a
whole
host
of
people
standing
behind
me
so,
first
and
foremost
mark
ruff
and
Laurie
Johnson.
Our
CFO
and
deputy
CFO
continue
their
expert
leadership
of
the
city's
finance
and
property
services
department.
B
Our
budget
office,
in
particular
this
year,
took
on
a
little
bit
more
than
they're,
used
to,
as
we
launched
a
new
budget
system
had
some
turnover
in
our
staff.
As
you
know,
Geena
Powell
is
no
longer
with
us.
In
the
budget
office,
she's
joined
the
City
Clerk's
office
and
James
Essenza
has
joined
us
in
in
Gina's
place
and
picked
up
right
along
with
the
team
and
we're
we're
very
excited
about
her
and
her
work.
B
In
total,
the
the
mayor's
recommended
budget,
excluding
the
independent
boards
and
as
we
go
through
the
presentation
I'll
highlight
where
the
independent
boards
are
included
and
excluded
from
the
graphs,
because
it
does
bounce
back
and
forth
a
little
bit,
but
excluding
the
independent
boards.
The
city's
budget
will
grow
under
the
mayor's
recommendation
by
70
million
dollars.
Now,
when
you
look
at
the
two
budgets
side-by-side
in
the
the
bar
graphs
here,
the
2019
budget
has
adopted
is
on
the
left,
and
that
shows
the
the
bulk
of
the
budget
in
the
lighter
blue
is
the
ongoing
spending.
B
The
the
gray
bar
that
you
see
shows
one-time
spending
and
then
the
dark
blue
is
our
capital
budget
moving
to
the
right
there's
an
additional
bar
that
is
in
sort
of
that
lightest,
blue
color,
and
that
is
just
shows
for
the
first
time
this
year.
So,
two
years
ago
we
moved
to
self-insuring
for
medical,
and
so
that
was
a
change
that
had
happened
in
in
budget
cycle,
and
so
it
wasn't
picked
up
in
the
budget
book
last
year
as
we
were
continuing
to
implement.
B
We
also
didn't
include
it,
but
this
year,
for
the
first
time
we're
showing
that
revenue
and
expense,
and
so
that's
that
seventy
million
dollar
difference
absent
that
bar
most
of
the
almost
entirely
the
ongoing
change.
That's
added
this
year
in
the
mayor's
budget
just
takes
the
place
of
one-time
capital
and
operating
spending
from
last
year.
B
So
looking
at
the
general
fund,
specifically
the
general
fund
and
I
see
an
error
there
on
my
slide
should
say:
2020
general
fund
expense
budget
grows
by
about
twenty
six
million
or
7.4
percent.
A
third
of
that
is
shown
on
the
right-hand
side
of
this
pie.
Chart
about
10.1
million
dollars
is
just
current
service
level
growth
discounted
for
additional
additional
revenues
that
offset
it.
B
B
And
the
mayor's
change
items
that
he's
recommending
total
about
eight
point:
eight
million
dollars
in
the
general
fund.
Those
alone
would
increase
the
general
fund
budget
by
about
2.5
percent.
And
finally,
you
may
remember:
last
year
was
the
first
year
of
policy
change
enacted
by
the
legislature
to
increase
the
employer
contribution
for
para
for
police
and
fire,
so
that
added
nine
hundred
thousand
dollars
last
year
adds
another
nine
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
2020
or
about
three
tenths
of
a
percent
to
the
general
fund
budget.
B
B
C
You,
madam
chair
Thank,
You
mr.
edge
Janelle
I,
was
just
wanting
to
get
some
clarification
around
the
increase
due
to
the
self
insurance
with
the
medical
benefits.
What
I
have
read
thus
far
in
the
budget
is
that
those
expenditures
have
actually
been
significantly
less
than
what
were
projected.
So
why
do
we
see
such
an
increase
as
a
result
of
that
transplant?.
B
We
Cunningham
thank
you
for
the
the
questions
that
a
good
one
and
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
clarify
so
the
when
the
city
moved
to
medical
self
insurance.
We
did
so
with
the
hope
that
we
would
be
spending
less
on
medical
insurance
costs,
because
that's
the
experience
that
we've
seen
of
other
large
employers
that
has
born
to
be
true,
and
so
we
are
spending
less
on
medical
insurance
as
an
employer
than
we
otherwise
would
have
had
we
not
gone
to
that
self-insurance
model.
B
B
There's
cost
growth
across
not
only
the
general
fund
levy,
but
also
the
levy
for
the
park
board
levy
for
MBC,
the
Municipal
Building
Commission
of
thirteen
point:
zero,
nine
million
that
police,
para
police
and
fire
increase
that
I
had
mentioned
of
about
nine
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
then
the
Park
Board
increase
beyond
what
was
included
in
the
five-year
financial
direction.
So
when
departments
were
coming
to
speak
with
the
mayor
about
the
budget,
the
park
board
also
came
and
spoke
with
him
and
identified
these
that
their
current
service
level
costs
growth
had
outpaced.
B
The
four
percent
levy
increase
that
was
included
in
the
five-year
financial
direction
by
this
one
point:
two:
three
million
dollars,
and
so
the
mayor
included
that
current
service
level
growth
in
in
the
budget.
In
total
these
this
current
services
costs
of
fifteen
point,
two
million
dollars
would
increase
the
levy
by
four
point.
Three
five
percent.
B
Beyond
that,
there
were
a
few
other
planned
increases
that
were
included
in
the
five-year
financial
direction,
so
the
first
relates
to
the
the
city's
contingency
general
fund.
Contingency
that
we
carry
and
the
contingency
is
the
kitchen
table
equivalent
is
the
city's.
You
know
emergency
savings
fund.
So
if
you
know
your
need
to
repair
to
your
home
or
your
car,
you
know
financial
planner,
so
it
suggests
to
keep
a
certain
amount
of
money
saved
in
an
emergency
fund.
B
City
financial
policy
requires
that
we
keep
one
percent
of
general
fund
expenditures
in
that
rainy
day
fund
in
prior
years,
that
fund
had
been
replenished
annually,
using
one-time
funding
and
so
again
going
back
to
our
our
kitchen
table
equivalent,
that's
sort
of
like
banking
on
getting
a
bonus
at
the
end
of
the
year
in
order
to
pay
for
next
year's
emergency
fund.
So
not
necessarily
the
best
thing
we
could
be
doing
from
a
financial
planning
standpoint.
B
B
D
Thank
you
very
much.
I
just
wanted
to
get
a
clarification
with
regards
to
the
park
board,
funding
that
the
the
prior
page,
if
you
can
go
to
one
point,
two:
three
million
beyond
the
two
point,
three
five
that
would
give
every
year
I
mean
what
was
it
last
year.
Did
we
give
them
any
extra
money
last
year
over
the
years
before
to
speak
today,
madam.
B
Chair
council,
member
or
something
yes
last
year,
the
mayor
included
off
the
top,
my
head,
which
was
always
dangerous
about
$800,000
in
his
recommended
budget,
and
then
the
park
board
asked
the
board
of
estimate
and
Taxation
to
increase
that
by
another
hundred
thousand
dollars,
which
they
did
so
last
year.
It
would
have
been
about
I
believe
$900,000
beyond
current
service
level.
This
year,
one
point
two:
three
million
dollars
beyond
current
services.
C
B
B
Madam
chair,
certainly
so
on
this,
the
other
planned
increases
slide
here.
The
20-year
parks
and
streets
deal
certainly
benefits
the
the
park
board,
as
well
as
the
city
in
terms
of
the
helping
to
take
care
of
some
of
that
ongoing
deferred
maintenance,
so
that
would
be
supportive
of
the
park
board.
The
our
pension
levies
that
take
care
of
our
closed
pension
obligations
to
the
state
also
help
support
the
program.
I
also.
A
B
Madam
chair
and
I
would
encourage
you
to
ask
this
question
of
the
park
board
when
they
come
later
in
October
as
well.
But
when
my
memory
is
that
when
they
present
it
to
the
mayor,
they
did
raise
that
issue.
That
I
believe
there
are
four
positions
that
were
added
through
their
budget
markup
process
that
are
the
were
supported
with
one-time
funding
in
2019
that
this
current
service
level,
then
is
also
helping
to
cover
ongoing.
Thank.
B
Great,
so
back
to
the
the
state
legislative
impact.
So
three,
there
were
four
major
legislative
changes
in
this
year's
session.
The
the
first
is
the
increase
to
local
government
aid,
which
is
being
felt
all
across
the
state
here
in
Minneapolis
in
particular,
that
increase
comes
to
about
two
million
dollars.
However,
there
was
at
the
same
time,
so
the
second
big
change
is
the
Sun
setting
of
a
provision
Peres
aides
that
were
shared
again
by
many
jurisdictions
across
the
the
state.
B
The
city
of
Minneapolis
saw
half
a
million
dollar
decrease
in
state
aids,
because
that
para
aid
sunsetted.
So
in
taking
those
two
changes
together,
there
was
an
increase
of
1.5
million
dollars
coming
from
the
state
to
help
you
know,
local
government
aid
is
seen
as
maytime
seen
as
buying
down
the
levy.
Impacts
of
those
two
together
helped
buy
down
the
levy
impact
by
1.5
million
dollars.
The
pension
levy
savings
here
is
a
result
of
two
separate
items
related
to
the
city's
close
pension,
so
the
first
is
related
to
our
the
general
Murph
general
fund.
B
So
when
the
City
pensions
merged
into
the
state
and
MuRF
merged
into
parama,
the
city
and
state
forged
an
agreement
of
how
to
get
to
fully
funding
those
pensions
over
the
long
term,
the
the
state
over
the
past
two
by
enniaa
was
reducing
the
amount
that
they
were
planning
to
contribute
in
the
out
years,
which
would
have
increased
the
city's
required
contribution
in
the
future.
So
because
of
that,
we
had
been
gradually
increasing
our
levy,
foreclosed
pensions,
so
that
we
could
eventually
pay
for
those
additional
costs
if
they
were
to
come
to
fruition.
B
At
the
same
time,
our
legislative
team
and
intergovernmental
relations
continued
to
work
to
make
sure
that
the
state
kept
that
bargain
and
restored
that
funding
in
those
out
years,
the
tails
years
as
they're
referred
to
at
the
state,
and
they
did
this
year.
So
with
governor
Wallace
budget,
he
proposed
fully
funding
that
agreement
in
the
out
years.
The
legislature
maintained
that,
through
their
markup
of
the
governor's
recommendation-
and
so
this
the
city
now
has
certainty
relative
certainty
that
this
the
state
will
continue.
B
That
original
bargain
that
was
met,
which
results
in
which
had
they
not
I.
Should
say
had
they
not
kept
their
bargain?
The
city
would
have
seen
an
additional
six
million
dollar
payment
out
of
the
general
fund
each
year
for
the
close
pensions,
and
so
six
million
dollars
was
saved
in
future
pension
levies
because
that
deal
was
kept.
The
fourth
and
final
impact
that
I'll
mention
is
related
to
the
the
closed
Minneapolis
police
relief,
Association
minneapolis,
fire
relief
association.
B
Those
state
legislative
changes
reduce
the
need
for
a
property
tax
levied
by
about
eleven
million
dollars
and
so
they're
buying
back
the
previous
increase
that
had
shown
by
just
over
three
percent.
So
adding
all
of
these
things.
Together,
the
maintaining
current
services
supporting
the
plan
increases
and
with
state
support.
We
would
now
be
at
a
two
point,
one
seven
percent
levy
increase,
but
the
mayor
also
made
some
changes
related
to
some
financial
policy
choices,
so
the
first
is
recognizing
there.
B
The
city
myself,
but
I,
understand
from
those
who
have
that
that
happens,
that's
the
leading
indicator,
so
there's
no
warning
that
it's
going
to
come,
but
given
the
signs
that
we're
seeing
more
broadly
in
the
economy,
what
the
mayor
has
done
here
is
pull
back
on
the
assumption
for
what
we
will
be
receiving
in
in
permanent
revenues.
Construction
permit
revenues
next
year
by
about
three
and
a
half
million
dollars,
which
itself
adds
a
percent
to
the
levy.
B
I
think
the
the
important
piece
to
recognize
when
we're
talking
about
construction
permits
is
that
because
of
the
construction
that
occurs
in
the
city,
these
in
many
times
very
complex,
very
large-scale
construction
projects.
The
activity
of
inspecting
the
construction
often
lags
the
payment
of
the
permit
by
one
to
up
to
three
years
and
so
will
be
having
work
to
do
after
the
revenue
starts
to
slow,
and
so
that's
what
this
increased
property
tax
levy
intends
to
do
is
to
help
pay
for
that
activity
once
the
less
money
start
coming
in.
B
Staff
took
a
look
at
the
fund,
balance
that
exists
in
the
board
of
estimate
and
taxations
fund
that
they
operate
out
of
and
because
they're
sufficient.
There
is
sufficient
fund
balance
to
pay
for
next
year.
The
mayor's
are
recommending
no
levy
for
the
b8e
in
2020,
but
then
restoring
a
levy
in
future
years.
B
The
third
and
fourth
bullets
here,
affordable,
housing
and
neighborhood
/nc,
are
I'm
sure
peaking
a
few
eyebrows.
I
will
talk
about
those
in
depth
in
later
slides,
but
what
I
can
say
here
is
that
in
the
five-year
financial
direction
and
during
markup
last
year,
you
may
recall
that
council
member
Gordon
added
an
increase
of
three
and
a
half
million
dollars
to
begin
to
plan
for
paying
for
neighborhoods
and
NCR
through
the
property
tax
levy
once
the
consolidated
TIF
expires
at
the
end
of
2020.
B
So
mayor
hodges
started
a
plan
in
the
2017
budget
and
it
was
to
go
through
the
2021
budget.
What
mayor
Frey
is
recommending
here
is
to
go
ahead
and
accelerate
that
and
fully
fund
that
contingency
this
year,
so
that
adds
1.6
million
and
then
some
just
utilized
some
additional
one-time
transfers
of
funds
from
other
funds
into
the
general
fund
of
four
hundred
and
thirty
thousand
dollars.
So
those
things
all
told
combined
to
eight
million
dollars
of
additional
expense.
B
So
with
all
right.
So
if
we
add
all
the
things
that
we've
been
talking
about,
so
the
current
services
maintenance
of
current
services
supporting
the
plan
increases
that
were
in
the
five-year
financial
direction,
discounting
for
the
state
support
and
adding
these
financial
policy
choices,
we
would
be
at
an
increase
of
four
point:
four
four
percent.
B
So
finally,
the
mayor's
change
items
in
the
general
fund
net
of
additional
revenues
and
this
year
departments
were
challenged
to
if
they
were
going
to
ask
for
additional
funding
through
a
change
item,
also
bring
some
thoughts
on
how
either
existing
budget
could
be
repurposed
or
new
monies
could
be
brought
to
the
table.
A
good
example
of
this
is
actually
in
in
the
property,
finance
and
property
services
department.
B
The
department
had
suggested
we
bring
some
investment
management
in-house
which
would
reduce
our
investment
management
fees
by
about
two
hundred
thousand
dollars.
The
expense
of
that
FTE
is
a
hundred
and
twenty
thousand
dollars
so
on
net.
That
change
item
benefits
the
general
fund
by
about
eighty
thousand
dollars.
So
these
figures
here
are
net
of
any
revenues.
E
B
A
Think
that's
a
very
fair
question:
is
people
come
to
get
their
departmental
presentations
also,
if
there's
time
in
the
departmental
presentations,
I've
asked
all
department
heads
to
be
prepared
to
talk
about
what
they
received
last
year
and
what
they
were
doing
with
it,
so
there
are
30
million,
roughly
thousand
thirty
million
dollars
worth
of
changes
from
last
year,
and
how
is
that
going
if
they
got
an
FTE
in
last
year's
budget
and
they
filled
it?
If
not,
what
are
the
barriers
to
them
using
last
year's
allocation
accordingly,
councilmember
Cunningham
thank.
C
B
Madam
chair
and
council
member
that's
correct
through
the
2020
recommended
budget,
the
mayor's
suggesting
we
would
add
2.6
million
dollars
to
the
levy
to
pay
for
the
contingency
in
total.
The
amount
that
we're
getting
to
is
it
varies
from
year
to
year,
because
the
contingency
requirement
is
a
percentage
of
the
total
general
fund
spend
for
2020,
it's
5.1
million,
and
so
in
successive
years
a
little
bit
will
need
to
be
added
each
year,
but
not
five
million.
Instead,
it
would
be
fifty
to
a
hundred
thousand
okay.
B
Madam
chair
and
councilmember
Cunningham,
absolutely
if
you'll
indulge
me,
we
do
have
section
later
on
specifically
related
to
those
items.
I
think
that,
but
I
would
say
generally
is
the
the
market
value
continues
to
increase
this
year.
The
increase
in
market
value
was
about
equal
is
about
seven
percent,
so
almost
equal
to
the
increase
in
the
levy,
which
is
different
than
we've.
Seen
over
the
past
few
years.
The
past
few
years,
it's
the
market
value,
has
outpaced
the
growth
in
the
levy,
but
we'll
talk
about
that
item
more
a
little
bit
later.
Great.
Thank
you.
B
Our
long-term
liabilities
proceeds
again
is
down
we're
taking
on
less
debt
to
pay
for
the
new
office
building
in
2020
than
we
did
in
2019,
and
then
the
last
bullet
point
that
I
have
here
is
related
to
franchise
fee
revenues.
So
in
our
budget,
we
in
our
general
fund
we
receive
about
thirty
five
million
dollars
of
revenue
related
to
the
city's
franchise
fees
on
gas
and
electric,
as
well
as
cable
in
both
areas
were
seeing
some
instability
related
to
decisions
that
are
being
made
at
the
federal
level.
B
B
Corporate
earnings
or
corporate
tax
rate
went
down,
and
so
Excel
and
Centrepointe
saw
their
revenues
go
up
because
they
were
paying
less
out
in
taxes,
and
so
at
the
time,
Centrepointe
was
in
front
of
the
Public
Utilities
Commission,
with
a
rate
change,
and
so
that
that
was
factored
into
the
rate
change.
And
so
we
didn't
see
an
impact
here
at
the
city,
Excel
had
already
gone
with
a
rate
change,
and
so
the
PUC,
the
Public
Utilities
Commission,
said
we'll
wait
a
minute.
B
That
meant
that
they
notified
us
that
they
would
be
reducing
their
payment
of
franchise
fees
by
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
2018
and
again
for
2019,
we're
still
trying
to
understand
how
that
will
continue
to
evolve
over
time.
The
second
item
here,
the
cable
franchise
fees-
there's
been
a
decision
through
the
Federal
Communications
Commission
FCC
to
reevaluate
what
is
considered
a
payment
of
franchise
fees
and
and
how
that's
calculated
and
so
now.
B
Cable
companies
can
include
in-kind
contributions
such
as
the
services
that
they
provide
to
government
buildings
as
that
payment,
and
so
that
has
the
potential
to
reduce
our
cable
franchise
fees
as
well.
We're
still
working
with
outside
counsel
to
understand
exactly
how
much
that'll
be,
but
I
did
want
to
raise
it,
because
there
is
some
instability
there
in
a
line
item
that
is
not
insignificant.
In
our
general
fund
revenue
picture.
E
Think
you
trip
almost
on
a
little.
Can
you
tell
us
roughly
how
much
the
cable
portion
of
the
franchise
fee
is?
I
I
feel
like
there's
significant
instability
there
beyond
even
that
ruling
in
how
we
define
what
a
cable
company
is,
as
everybody
moves
to
broadband
and
other
kinds
of
ways
of
distributing
information.
So,
if
we're
relying
too
heavily
on
that
revenue
source,
that
seems
like
something
that
we
want
to
probably
be
more
active
in
that
conversation
and
also
give
ourselves
a
little
bit
of
cushion
for
if
that
conversation
goes
badly.
B
Councilmember
but
monitoring,
council
member,
it's
a
it's
a
good
question
and
as
as
a
core
cutter
myself,
it
is
something
that
I've
thought,
but
that
sort
of
impact
is
because
franchise
fees
so,
rather
than
using
traditional
cable
provider
and
Comcast
I,
receive
Internet
service
through
USI
fiber
and
so
I.
Don't
pay
for
ancho's
fees,
even
though
on
that
service,
even
though
I
live
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis
and
I'm,
able
to
stream
that
same
programming,
I,
don't
have
the
number
off
the
top
of
my
head,
but
I
can
get
it
to
you.
A
B
B
You
know,
though,
the
city
is
made
up
of
24
different
departments,
the
the
three
three
largest
chunks
of
funding,
so
Public
Works,
Public
Safety,
which
I'm
defining
here
as
police
and
fire
and
our
capital
expenditures.
Those
three
big
chunks
alone
make
up
two-thirds
or
66%
of
our
city's
spending
beyond
that.
The
coordinator
departments,
which
are
all
looped
together
here,
so
not
only
the
city
coordinator
itself,
but
the
internal
services
that
report
up
to
it
as
well
as
see
ped
and
the
Convention
Center.
B
B
B
Madam
chair
and
councilmember
Cunningham,
so
the
what
were
that
decrease
that
we're
seeing
is
just
less
spending
and
we're
still
spending
on
the
new
building
in
2020
just
at
a
lower
rate
than
in
2019.
So
yes,
no
no
cut
to
our
planned
spending
on
roads,
bridges
and
that
other
infrastructure.
Great.
Thank
you
so
I'll
briefly
talk
through
the
major
changes
in
the
mayor's
budget
in
terms
of
change
items
and
I.
I.
B
Think
that
it's
better
for
you
to
hear
from
departments
themselves
what
the
mayor
has
recommended
for
them,
but
by
and
large
they're
three
three
big
pillars
to
the
budget.
Here:
the
change
items.
The
first
excuse
me
before
I
get
there
just
some
context,
so
the
the
what
the
mayor's
added
in
change
items
in
total
is
8
point
or
8
million
ongoing
21
million
one-time
that
compares
to
over
22
million
ongoing
requested
in
over
thirty
four
million
one-time.
B
So
certainly
the
there
were
more
asks
than
there
was
capacity
to
give
it
yes
and
beyond
that
three
major
pillars:
the
first
being
affordable
housing.
Much
like
last
year,
we
see
31
million
dollars
in
local
resources
going
to
affordable
housing
following
across
the
housing,
affordable
housing
trust
fund
naturally
occurring
affordable
housing,
the
stable
home,
stable
Schools
program,
which
is
budgeted
for
year,
2
of
3
and
2020,
and
the
host
of
other
strategies
to
help
tackle
that
problem.
B
B
These
these
items
will
be
discussed
in
the
public
works
presentation
and
the
CPD
Community
Planning
and
Economic
Development
presentation
and
the
city
coordinators
office.
That
I
believe
the
other
economic
inclusion
items
include
additional
investment
in
the
MSP
techhire
job
training
program
for
folks
who
are
entering
the
tech
sector,
the
great
streets,
real
estate
gap,
financing
program
and
additional
staffing
for
the
city's
small
business
team
out
of
C
ped.
A
As
we
go
forward,
I
do
want
to
point
out
to
my
colleagues
that
we
just
restarted
speaker
management,
so
that
is
another
way
to
put
yourself
in
queue,
but
I'll
be
looking
for
people's
flags
as
well.
I,
don't
think
that's
going
to
be
super
important
today,
but
it
might
as
we
go
into
further
departmental
presentation,
so
I
just
want
to
let
you
know
there's
both
of
those.
Please.
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
So
the
third
pillar
is
relating
to
public
safety
and
police
community
relations.
The
mayor's
included
150,000
dollars
for
the
group,
violence,
intervention,
Southside
expansion,
the
the
GBI
group,
violence
intervention
program
in
total
is
budgeted
at
seven
hundred
and
forty
thousand
dollars
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
continued
mental
health
care.
Responder
program.
It's
worth
noting
here
that
the
county
is
concerned
contributing
additional
funds
in
2020
beyond
what
they
had
contributed
in
2019.
B
Finally,
just
some
other
highlights
related
to
conversations
that
I've
had
with
either
one
or
many
of
you
over
the
last
few
weeks.
There
is
a
four
million
dollar
one-time
change
item
for
the
2020
elections.
Generally,
so
as
a
reminder,
we
will
have
three
elections
in
2020,
a
presidential
nominating
primary,
the
regular
primary
and
then
the
general
election.
The
city
clerk
is
working
closely
with
the
state
to
secure
additional
funding
for
that.
B
This
will
be
your
one
of
two
of
a
plan
to
to
move
staff
from
a
fund
whose
revenues
are
starting
or
have
been
declining
for
a
few
years
on
to
the
general
fund,
so
that
we
can
continue
the
activity
which
is
mostly
related
to
rental
property
inspections.
Also,
some
work
related
to
nuisance
abatement
related
to
the
long
grass
and
other
items
so
I
had
mentioned
earlier.
That
I
would
be
talking
in
more
depth
about
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund
finance
plan,
and
this
is
that
time.
B
So,
with
this
plan,
the
what
the
mayor
has
said
is
that
he
intends
to
set
a
new
floor
for
the
annual
investments
in
the
affordable
housing.
Trust
fund
and
I've
met
with
many
of
you,
along
with
Peter
Edmund
of
the
mayor
staff,
and
the
way
that
Peter
has
described.
It
is
that
the
goal
here
is
to
provide
clarity
and
reasonable
assurance
that
to
the
development
community,
that
funds
will
be
available.
B
It's
it's
hard
when
you
don't
know
how
much
will
be
there
to
know
what
to
plan
for
in
your
mix
of
sources
for
your
development,
and
so
this
in
in
laying
out
this
plan,
the
mayor's
intent
is
to
provide
that
additional
clarity
and,
by
extension,
increase
that
that
production
occurring
through
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund.
What
you'll
see
is
a
mix
of
the
property
tax
levy
as
well
as
use
of
tax,
increment
financing
and
the
federal
Community
Development
Block,
Grant,
CDBG
and
home
programs,
and
just
for
context,
the
prior
baseline
that
had
been
understood.
B
So
this
this
is
the
plan
in
graphic
form,
so
where
each
of
these
bars
represents
an
annual
funding
amount
from
2020
to
2027
and
working
from
the
bottom.
The
light
blue
is
excess.
Tax
increment
financing
that
comes
from
outside
of
the
consolidated
TIF
district
and
outside
of
the
consolidated
TIF
district
is
important
for
the
conversation
and
will
be
important
for
the
neighborhoods.
An
NCR
financing
plan
that
you'll
see
next.
C
B
So,
madam
chairing
councilmember,
I
think
the
city
in
prior
years
has
talked
about
an
affordable
housing
trust
fund
and
what
that
fund
that
was
referred
to
was
a
mix
of
individual
funds.
Some
of
it
would
come
from
general
fund
one-time
sources.
Some
of
it
would
come
from
this
excess
monies
and
TIF
funds.
We
have
tried
to.
B
Pare
that
back
into
a
smaller
mix
of
funds,
but
for
various
accounting
reasons
we
we
keep
these
monies
in
the
funds
where
the
dollars
originated
at
the
city.
If
we
would
have
an
individual
trust
fund,
that
would
just
mean
all
of
the
monies
were
pooled
in
one
fund
and
that
interest
would
return
to
that
fund.
You
know
look
to
the
CFO
to
see
if
we,
if
the
interest
that's
earned
on
the
TIF
funds,
goes
back
to
those
funds,
so.
F
C
Well,
if
I
may
just
add
real
quick
before
mr.
ruff
dives
in
I
know
that,
for
example,
in
Chicago-
and
this
is
a
partly
a
policy
as
well,
but
if
developers
do
not
include
a
certain
amount
of
affordability
within
the
development,
their
housing
development
that
they
are
charged
in
a
fee
that
goes
into
it
and
so
I'm.
Just
curious
as
to
whether
or
not
like
that
has
been
discussed
from
you
know,
a
finance
office
perspective
sure.
F
Madam
chair
councilmember,
Cunningham
I,
think
to
add
the
makers
comments.
We
have
made
some
changes
to
the
financial
policies
and
practices
that
make
this
funding
mechanism
more,
like
a
trust
fund.
So,
for
example,
previously
it
took
staff
and
council
authorization
to
roll
that
money
over
from
your
year
and
now
it's
that
money
when
I
say
that
money.
It's
all
the
sources
that
might
convention
that,
if
the
federal
funding
the
general
fund
stays
within
that
fund
and
was
there
available
in
case,
one
project
falls
out.
F
They
can
immediately
repurpose
that
money,
they
being
seep
ed
staff
into
another
project,
and
so
there
are
some
elements
that
we're
trying
to
get
closer
to
a
trust
fund.
I.
Think,
ultimately,
you
know
a
u.s.
Council
have
the
authority
to
decide
how
to
leave
money
in
one
fund
or
not,
and
so
that
trust
is
really
the
public
trust,
as
opposed
to
a
formal
document
that
says
we
will,
you
know,
never
ever
use
this
money
for
anything
else.
The
answer
your
question
about
developer
payments.
F
Certainly
the
council,
you
know-
is
a
part
of
inclusionary
zoning
and
all
of
the
discussions
going
on
around
different
options.
If
one
of
the
options
that
emerges
from
that
is
a
potential
for
payments,
then
clearly,
yes,
you
could
put
that
money
into
a
this
particular
fund.
So
I
think
what
we've
developed
is
now
developers
and
staff
all
know
this
money
for
rental
housing
as
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund.
So
it's
taking
on
a
life
of
its
own
to
some
extent.
So
that's
the
comment
I
would
make
as
well
great.
Thank
you.
G
To
follow
up
on
that
V
councilmember
Cunningham
talked
about
all.
This
is
not
a
traditional
trust
fund,
one
of
the
biggest
barriers
being
that
we
didn't
have
a
dedicated
source
of
funding,
and
my
concern
is
that
at
the
state
level,
there's
been
incentives
for
cities
to
set
up
a
trust
fund
and
under
the
ones
we've
seen
Minneapolis
wouldn't
qualify.
Would
these
changes
allow
us
to
take
advantage
of
any
would
to
qualify
more.
B
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
council
member,
so
this
with
this
plan,
this
doesn't
dedicate
funds,
but
it
identifies
them
and
designates
them
and
sort
of
designates
that
plan.
You
know
once
once
lot
of
dollars
are
appropriated,
then
they're
dedicated.
But
you
know
if
this
plan
is
adopted,
then
years
21
through
27
are
still
just
a
plan
and
there's
no
direct
tie
between
the
dollars
coming
in
and
the
dollars
that
would
then
be
going
out.
Okay,
thank
you.
B
So
the
each
each
bar
represents
one
year
2020
through
2027.
The
light
blue
that
you
see
at
the
bottom
is
the
previous
baseline,
so
that
previously
established
minimum
TIF
level.
The
darkest
blue
that
you
see
is
the
the
federal
funds
that
we
talked
about
the
top
two
sections,
so
the
medium
color,
blue
and
the
light
gray.
Those
would
be
the
sort
of
new
commitment
or
new
planned
commitment.
B
The
medium
color
blue
being
additional
TIF
monies
that
could
be
pooled
that
are
coming
from
outside
of
that
consolidated
district
again
and
then
the
gray
bar
at
the
top
is
1.5
million
dollars
a
property
tax
levy
that
would
be
identified
annually
recurring.
Unless
a
future
council
chose
to
change
that
to
be
spent
for
the
Affordable
Housing
Trust
Fund.
So
in
total,
this
plan
represents
sort
of
a
planned
commitment,
82
million
dollars
over
eight
years.
B
B
So
then,
the
next
plan
is
neighborhoods
and
NCR.
So
the
the
important
point
again
that
I've
heard
Peter
stress
in
several
meetings
is
that
this
plan
represents
a
financial
framework
and
not
a
set
of
policy
decisions
related
to
neighborhoods
or
future
funding
of
neighborhoods
or
NCR
council.
You
all
will
make
those
choices
later
this
year.
B
You'll
see
here
that
this
plan
would
be
over
five
neighborhoods
under
this
plan
would
be
funded
for
three
years,
with
the
excess
TIF
coming
from
the
consolidated
district.
So
when
the
district
expires,
there
will
be
an
amount
of
excess
TIF,
that's
been
collected
that
would
be
used
for
the
first
well
for
21
through
24,
for
funding
neighborhoods
and
then
would
move
to
the
property
tax
levy
beginning
in
2024,
and
NCR
operations
would
be
funded
in
2021
and
beyond
through
the
property
tax
levy.
B
So
this
is
a
little
bit
of
a
messy
graph
and
I'll
try
and
walk
you
through
it.
The
lines
represent
you
sources
of
funding,
so
dollars
coming
in
the
bars
represent,
uses
or
dollars
going
out.
So
there's
no
bar
in
2020,
because
the
approximate
seven
million
dollars
that's
budgeted
for
neighborhoods
and
NCR
is
still
on
the
consolidated
TIF
district.
So
that's
just
why
it's
not
showing
up
in
this
plan
that
talks
about
what
do
we
do
in
the
future
after
the
consolidated
TIF
goes
away,
the
gray
line
is
showing
the
excess
consolidated
TIF.
B
So
I
had
mentioned
11
million
dollars
in
excess
that
will
be
available
once
the
district
expires
the
end
of
next
year.
The
blue
line
represents
a
new
property
tax
levy,
beginning
in
2020
that
money
that's
levied
in
2020
will
be
saved
to
be
used
in
future
years
and
then
that
increases
I
had
mentioned
is
phased
in
over
five
years
up
to
seven
million
dollars,
as
opposed
to
phasing
it
in
over
two,
so
not
creating
as
much
of
an
impact
on
the
property
tax
levy.
B
In
those
first
two
years,
the
gray
bars
represent
the
the
spending
on
neighborhoods
in
those
first
three
years.
So
it's
the
money.
The
gray
bar
corresponds
to
the
gray
line,
so
the
the
excess
consolidated
TIF
is
being
spent
in
over
three
years
on
neighborhood
funding.
The
blue,
solid
bar
beginning
in
2024,
then,
is
the
property
tax
levy
supported
spending
on
neighborhoods.
H
C
C
B
B
B
When
we
look
at
how
much
is
for
the
city
versus
how
much
is
for
other
entities
about
78%
supports
in
Minneapolis
directly,
and
so
that's
a
combination
of
the
general
fund
levy,
bond,
Redemption
levy,
pensions
and
NBC,
but
I
think
again,
City
as
a
councilmember
Palmisano
called
out
chair,
Palmisano
called
out
earlier.
Some
of
the
those
levies
also
benefit
the
park
board
and
NBC
as
well.
So
just
a
few
highlights
from
that
slide.
B
The
the
general
fund
levy,
if
you
remember
the
beginning
of
the
presentation,
general
fund
spending
is
only
up
by
about
seven
percent,
but
the
Leddy's
up
by
13
percent.
What's
the
difference?
Well,
it's
two
things:
it's
the
financial
policy
choices
that
the
mayor
has
is
recommending
here,
as
well
as
relatively
flat
non
general
fund
revenues,
and
so,
as
our
our
costs
are
growing
by
about
4%.
Those
non
general
fund.
B
So
these
are
just
all
sort
of
part
of
the
mix
when
we
look
at
those
individual
levies
line
by
line
overall
we're
seeing
all
major
property
classifications
growing,
with
the
largest
growth
being
seen
in
apartments
next
largest
in
residential
over,
and
it's
always
hard
when
we
provide
this
historical
look
to
decide
how
far
back
to
go
this
year,
I
thought
15
years
will
be
a
good
good
benchmark.
So
we
have
seen
that
property
tax
levy
grow
over
the
past
15
years.
B
Over
the
same
time
horizon
we
see
the
the
median
value
trend
doesn't
grow
in
that
same
straight
line
and
so
home
values
dipped
in
2011,
12,
13,
well,
I,
guess,
starting
back
as
early
as
2008
through
2013
bottoming
out
at
that
point
and
have
a
return
since
then,
what's
important
here
and
I
should
say
again
the
it
says:
10%
increase
in
2019.
That's
true!
What
it
should
also
say
is
it's
a
7%
increase
in
2020,
so
you
know
when
let
me
hold
that
thought.
B
B
They
see
a
lot
of
construction
and
they
assume
that,
because
there's
a
lot
of
construction,
you
know
their
property
taxes
should
be
going
down,
but
really
what's
driving.
The
change
in
market
value
is
inflation
on
the
existing
property
stock,
and
so
that's
the
counterbalance
there.
There
are
other
factors
too
councilmember
Cunningham's
question
earlier
that
influence
what
the
what
the
property
tax
levy
changed
feels
like
for
an
individual
property
owner.
One
of
those
is
the
the
market
value
exclusion
program
for
homesteads
as
the
city's
median
residential
value
is
growing.
B
It's
getting
closer
to
the
point
where
that
market
value
exclusion
phases
out.
So
if
you,
if
your
property
is
less
than
four
hundred
and
thirteen
thousand
dollars
you're,
not
your
your
taxable
market
value
is
less
than
your
estimated
market
value
and
that's
intended
to
give
people
a
little
bit
of
break
on
their
property
taxes
on
that
property
that
they
both
own
and
live
in
as
we
as
we're
aging
out
of
that
program.
So
to
speak,
we
are
seeing
bigger
increase
impacts
on
individual
property
tax
payers,
the
next
bullet
here,
the
fiscal
disparities
program.
B
We,
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
shares
that
stack
its
tax
base
with
other
metro
jurisdictions.
We
are
a
net
contributor
to
that
program.
Not
too
many
years
ago,
we
were
in
net
recipient
of
that
program,
meaning
we
used
to
get
more
back
in
fiscal
disparities
distribution.
Then
we
gave
into
the
pool
as
a
contribution
in
2020
we
will
be
giving
back
about
thirty
million
dollars
more
than
we're
receiving,
and
so
that
30
million
is
a
big
number
to
think
about
in
the
absolute
when
you're
thinking
about
an
overall
tax
base
of
about.
B
Also,
tax
increment
financing
impacts
that
feels,
like
you
know,
for
those
parcels
that
are
located
in
a
TIF
district.
What
their
impact
will
feel
much
different
because
they're
in
that
district
than
those
who
are
outside
of
one
off
the
top
of
my
head,
the
tax
increment
value.
That's
then
excluded
from
the
general
pool
is
about
eighty.
Eighty
to
ninety
million.
I
B
Madam
chair
and
council,
vice
president,
we
we
do
know
we
have
that
information
from
the
county.
I,
don't
remember
it
off.
The
top
of
my
head.
I
can
share
it
with
you.
We
are
you
know.
Thirty
million
dollars
is
a
we're
on
the
high
end
of
the
contributors.
I
think
we're
the
second
largest
contributor.
There
isn't
a
30
million
dollar
recipient
I.
Don't
believe.
I
do
know
that
st.
Paul
does
receive
quite
a
bit.
I
And
then
I
guess
you
know
I'm
looking
at
a
couple
of
slides
back
change
in
value,
the
2020
text
is
payable
and
the
commercial
property
tax
is
less
than
half
sort
of
winters
property
tax
as
it
were,
and
we
had
a
presentation
last
week
that
showed
the
significant
rise
in
our
greenhouse
gases
are
coming
from
our
commercial
properties
and
I
think
you
may
have
mentioned
it
earlier,
but
you
did
not
mention
it
on
this
slide,
but
I'm.
This
is
the
federal
taxes,
the
driver
in
this
sort
of
disparity
between
commercial
and
apartment
property
tax.
So.
B
Madam
cheering
council
vice-president,
the
this
slide
is
showing
that
the
percentages
are
the
percentage
increase
in
each
category.
It's
not
the
absolute
value
of
each
category,
so
there
there
is
more
commercial
property
value
than
apartment
property
value.
It's
just
that,
given
all
of
the
construction
in
of
apartments.
There's
this
large
spike
in
values
and
then.
B
Madam
chair
Ian's,
council,
vice-president
I,
would
encourage
you'd
ask
that
question
of
the
HR
department
as
they're
the
ones
who
do
the
most
direct
work
with
the
plan.
I
think
that
it's
fair
to
say
that
largely
the
plan
is
unchanged
and
to
to
qualify
a
little
bit.
The
savings
comment.
It's
we
are,
we
are
seeing.
Perhaps
more
costs
avoided
as
opposed
to
hard
savings.
So
there
is
an
increase
in
our
total
spending
on
medical
self
insurance,
but
it's
just
not
as
high
as
it
would
have
been.
B
E
Thank
you,
Jeff
Palmisano,
just
one
quick
question
on
market
value
exclusion
program
because
I'm
a
little
surprised
to
see
that
in
here
as
significant
influence
and
so
I
just
want
to
clarify
in
case.
My
understanding
is
incorrect.
If
your
home
is
valued
at
four
hundred
and
ten
thousand
dollars
one
year
so
you're
under
that
four
hundred
thirteen
thousand
dollar
cap,
and
then
it
goes
up
five
thousand
dollars
to
four
hundred
fifteen
thousand
dollars,
you're
still
eligible
for
the
homeowner,
the
homestead
rate
on
your
first
four
hundred
thirteen
thousand
correct.
B
Man
sharing
councilmember,
that's
correct,
I
think
that
what
you'll
see
in
a
future
slide
is
that
are
it
used
to
be
that
the
the
percentage
tax
change
on
a
non
homesteaded
property
was
several
percentage
points
higher
than
a
percentage
tax
change
on
a
homesteaded
property?
Now,
because
the
median
median
home
site
value
is
approaching
the
four
hundred
and
thirteen
mark,
the
the
tax
impacts
are
largely
similar,
but
it's
a
very
good
point
and
one
well
taken.
B
So
the
the
last
point
I
wanted
to
make
here
is
that
again
a
common
question
that
I
receive
when
I'm
talking
with
the
public
and
one
that
you
receive
as
well.
Is
you
know
if
my
market
value
is
going
up?
Why
do
you
have
to
increase
the
levy
and
I?
Think
that
rooted
in
that
question
is
a
belief
that
the
property
tax,
the
way
we
tax
properties,
is
similar
to
the
way
that
we
tax
incomes
and,
unfortunately,
that's
not
correct.
B
Unfortunately,
just
by
way
of
comparisons,
it's
not
correct
and
the
way
the
property
tax
works.
If
you
make
more
money,
you're
gonna
pay
more
tax,
because
that
rate
is
fixed.
Now
it
changes
depending
on
how
high
your
tax
or
how
high
your
income
is,
but
the
rate
is
fixed
from
year
to
year,
unless
there's
a
law
change
the
way
property
taxes
work.
B
Is
that
a
different
rate,
the
way
property
taxes
work
in
Minnesota,
that
a
different
rate
is
calculated
every
year
based
on
two
things:
one:
what's
the
levy
and
two:
what's
the
total
market
value,
and
so
because
of
those
two
factors
can
change
independent
of
each
other.
The
rate
can
vary
from
the
rate
does
vary
from
year
to
year
again
very
much
unlike
property
or
income
taxes
over
the
past
few
years,
and
the
increases
we're
seeing
in
the
levy
in
2018-2019
were
around
five
and
a
half
percent.
B
The
increases
that
we're
seeing
in
the
median
value
were
ten
percent,
and
so
the
the
median
value
increase
has
far
outpaced
the
the
increase
in
the
levy.
You
know
just
for
comparison.
Over
the
last
five
years,
the
levy
has
increased
thirty
percent,
whereas
market
values
have
increased
fifty
eight
percent,
and
so
when
you
put
those
two
things
together,
the
city's
property
tax
rate
has
actually
dropped.
B
B
So
specific
to
the
the
mayor's
recommendation
for
2020
again,
the
recommended
levy
increases
6.95
percent,
and
you
know
each
individual
parcel
will
feel
different.
But
if
you
live
in
the
home
that
you
own-
and
it
grew
by
the
median
of
six
percent,
your
property
tax
increase
would
feel
like
a
7.9
percent
increase
and
that
that
right
there
is
the
effect
of
reaching
the
the
phase
out
for
the
market
value
exclusion
program.
So
that
increase
would
be
about
one
hundred
and
eleven
dollars
in
in
2020.
You
know
the
the
change
for
our
apartments
is
higher.
B
So,
madam
chair
and
councilmember,
so
looking
at
that
the
median
the
median
valued
property
when
comparison,
comparing
the
non
homestead
residential
to
the
homestead
residential,
the
because
the
non
homesteaded
property
is
a
tax
at
a
hundred
percent
of
capacity
and
homesteaded
properties,
have
that
exclusion
they're
paying
less
tax
to
begin
with,
and
so
they
that's
why.
The
change
isn't
quite
as
great
thank
you,
Thank
You,
councilmember
and,
if
I
may
add
on.
B
So
then,
putting
it
all
together,
we
we
have
a
slide
that
we'd
like
to
share
that
shows
the
distribution
of
the
impacts
of
the
of
the
tax
impacts,
and
so
the
way
to
read
this
graph
is
so
in
the
first
bar.
On
the
left
hand,
side
three
percents
of
residential
parcels
will
see
a
decline
or
an
increase
of
less
than
zero
percent,
so
a
decline
in
their
property
taxes
in
2020
as
compared
to
2019,
23
percent
of
parcels
will
see
no
change,
and
then
it
goes
on
from
there.
B
And
you
know
every
time
we
talk
about
property
taxes,
we
like
to
stress
the
the
property
tax
refund
programs
that
are
offered
by
the
state.
These
are
available
both
to
homeowners
and
renters.
There
are
income
phase
outs
for
the
renters
tax
credit
and
the
homeowners
credit.
There
is
a
special
homestead
credit
refund,
for
that
is
exclusive
of
an
individual
homeowners
income.
If
a
property
sees
a
tax
increase
of
more
than
12
percent,
that's
also
greater
than
$100,
then
they're
eligible
for
this
special
credit.
B
So,
looking
back
at
this
slide,
the
you
know,
when
you
see
13
percent
or
more
in
almost
all
cases,
those
will
be
more
than
$100,
and
so
those
property
owners
are
eligible
for
credit
through
the
state
program,
and
so
that's
just
something
important
for
Minneapolis
property
owners
to
keep
in
mind
as
its
state
money.
That's
available
exactly
for
this
purpose.
B
B
B
The
addition
of
planned
spending
on
the
regulatory
services
revolving
fund
that
I'd
mention
earlier,
so
the
mayor's
included
you're
one
of
two
of
a
phased
move
away
from
that
fund
and
has
plans
for
or
at
least
recommending,
we
program
in
room.
Four
completely.
Solving
and
I'll
put
solving
in
air
quotes
that
problem
next
year.
The
last
three
items
are
a
continuation
of
serve
planned
spending
items
that
have
existed
in
prior
five-year
financial
direction,
so
the
first
is
additional
staffing
for
Public
Safety.
B
There's
a
six-year
plan
that
mayor
hodges
had
put
in
place
to
increase
the
number
of
sworn
officers
to
901
that
has
been
included
in
the
last
few
budgets,
and
this
five-year
financial
direction
continues
that
for
years,
four
five
and
six
of
the
plan.
The
second
item
is
increased
to
the
elections
budget
base
election
base
budget.
B
So
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
change
that
we've
just
talked
through,
but
this
is
at
the
end
of
the
day,
given
what
we
know
today
and
based
on
the
those
plans
spending
items
that
I
had
just
mentioned,
along
with
continuing
to
find
current
service
levels.
This
is
what
those
future
property
tax
levies
would
look
like.
H
Thank
you
very
much.
I
just
want
to
ask
about
the
public
safety
projection
there
that
looks
very
different
than
the
last
budget,
the
five-year
projection
which
I
think
had
been
recalling
it
correctly
about
700,000
under
each
year.
So
and
then
we
my
understanding
of
the
last
time
we
that
that
was
780
like
in
2021.
It
was
700,000
and
then
we'd
be
adding
another
$700,000
after
that.
H
So
when
we
look
at
the
750,000
in
2021,
are
you
saying,
on
top
of
that
we're
gonna
add
another
1.5
million
in
2022
and
then
another
2.3
million
in
2023
in
2.8
million
in
24
and
then
2.4
million
in
25?
So
we
need
to
add
all
those
figures
together
and
we
ma'am
two
four
six:
seven,
eight
nine
million
dollars
total
so.
B
Madam
chair
and
council
member
so
I
appreciate
the
good
memory.
Last
year
we
had
talked
about
this
very
issue
and
you
had
pointed
out
that
the
presentation
of
that
item
was
a
little
bit
inconsistent
with
the
rest
of
the
presentation
of
the
five-year
financial
direction.
I
thought
it
was
a
good
point,
and
so
we
changed
the
presentation
this
year,
which
I
think
has
added
confusion
as
opposed
to
solving
for
that
problem.
So
last
year
the
the
presentation
was
additive.
B
So,
as
you
were
saying,
it
was
750
in
the
first
year
750
in
the
second
year
so
for
the
year
to
impact
he
would
have
to
add
those
two
together
and
it
would
be
14.5
million
this
year.
What
we're
showing
is
cumulative
and
so
we're
showing
750
in
the
first
year
1.5
in
the
second
year,
and
you
can
interpret
those
two
numbers
independent
of
each
other,
so
1.5
means
1.5.
It
doesn't
mean
1.5,
plus
750,
so.
B
C
About
I'm
chair,
adding
through
the
public
safety
question
so
mayor,
mayor
Hodges
had
put
the
money
in
for
increasing
the
amount
of
officers.
So
how
is
that
reflected
in
this
year's
budget,
as
that
was
included
in
the
projections
like
just?
Is
that
included
with
the
14
new
officers?
How
is
that
reflected
so.
B
I'm
not
I'm,
chairing
council
members,
the
council
member
yeah.
Yes,
it
is
included
in
the
14
once
once
we
move
into
a
year
and
the
plan
spending
is
there
it's.
You
know
this.
This
isn't
prescribing
that
that
happened.
It's
just
creating
the
room.
So
in
a
sense
as
that
room
for
six
additional
officers
was
created
and
the
mayor
is
adding
proposing
adding
14
it's
being
used
for,
you
can
think
of
it
as
used
for
the
the
plan
is
being
executed
as
planned.
Okay,.
B
Madam
chair
and
members
just
talking
through
next
steps,
briefly,
the
board
of
estimate
and
Taxation
is
responsible
for
setting
the
maximum
property
tax
levy.
There
will
be
a
hearing
public
hearing
on
this
Wednesday
night
September
11th,
starting
at
5:05
and
I'll,
be
giving
a
overview
about
those
individual
levies
that
the
mayor
is
proposing,
and
then
there
will
be
opportunity
for
public
comment,
though,
that
maximum
levy
will
then
be
set.
B
We
do
have
about
a
month
gap
in
our
budget
here
in
calendar,
and
that
just
has
to
do
with
how
the
calendar
lined
up
this
year
and,
in
particular
the
High
Holy
Day,
is
kind
of
a
monkey
our
schedule
around
a
little
bit
the
as
with
last
year,
the
council
will
be
holding
a
I
really
like
the
term
that
was
coined
last
year,
a
half-time
check
in
to
see
what
the
public's
reaction
is
to
the
mayor's
recommendation.
That'll
happen
on
November
7th
and
then
the
traditional
truth
and
taxation
hearing
occurs.
B
If
there
are
no
other
questions,
I
just
again
encourage
you
to
send
your
constituents
to
our
city's
website
or
hold
the
budget
book
and
some
additional
analysis.
We
also
have
a
series
of
videos
that
we
started
building
last
year
and
I've
had
it
to
this
year:
sort
of
explainers
on
budget
process
on
property
taxes
on
many
of
the
things
that
I've
discussed
today
that
I
encourage
you
to
point
your
constituents
to
as
well.
A
