San Bruno City Council Meeting July 13, 2010 8. Public Hearing City Budgets 2010-11
A
B
Good
evening,
mr.
mayor
members
of
the
City
Council,
this
is
a
this
item
is
the
continuation
of
the
review
of
the
2010
20
2010
2011
city
manager
recommended
budget
for
the
city
of
San
Bruno,
and
also
for
the
San
Bruno
redevelopment
agency.
We
started
this
process
back
on
June,
first
and
second,
with
study
sessions
and
staff
took
comments
from
City,
Council
and
tonight.
We're
bringing
back
this
item
for
City
Council's
review
and
adoption
for
the
current
2010-2011
year.
B
When
we
started
the
process,
we
were
looking
at
a
budget
gap
of
1.9
million
dollars,
looking
at
revenues
about
30
point
three
million
dollars
and
expenditures
about
30
2.2
million
dollars.
Therefore,
leaving
that
gap
about
1.9
million
dollars
in
looking
at
the
options
in
closing
the
gap,
we
looked
at
both
revenues
and
expenditures
and
on
the
revenue
side,
we
are
looking
at
nine
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
additional
revenues
from
limited
time
revenues
that
is,
and
these
come
from
excess
erath
and
also
the
RDA
loan
repayment
of
four
thousand
dollars.
B
On
the
expenditure
side,
there
are
predominantly
staff
eliminations
and
reorganizations
within
the
city
and
that
amounted
to
an
aggregated
in
twenty-one
thousand
dollars.
So,
looking
at
the
revised
revenues,
we're
looking
at
thirty
one
point:
three:
eight
million
dollars
and
the
revised
expenditures
of
31.3
82
million
dollars
there
for
coming
up
with
a
balanced
budget
for
the
general
fund
for
this
2010-2011
year.
B
B
Again
in
closing
the
budget
gap,
nine
hundred
thousand
dollars
coming
from
the
limited
time
limited
time
revenues
for
the
upcoming
you
for
the
current
year.
Actually
looking
at
the
operating
expenditures,
as
you
can
tell
it's
relatively
flat
again,
the
2010-11
includes
reductions
of
staff
and
the
reorganization
of
various
departments
and
with
that
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
the
city
manager.
To
talk
about
the
specifics
in
terms
of
the
staff
eliminations
and
the
reorganization,
Thank.
C
You
mr.
mayor
members
of
council,
as
a
council
is
aware,
the
process
to
develop
this
budget
actually
began
soon
after
four
June
first
in
June.
Second,
as
the
finance
director
indicated,
that
was
the
time
at
which
the
council
conducted
your
initial
detailed
review
of
the
budget
itself,
but
the
identification
of
the
revenue
to
expenditure
shortfall
particularly
related
to
the
decline,
a
continuing
decline
in
normal
revenues
that
fund
city
operations
was
first
identified
back
in
February
as
part
of
our
mid-year
budget
review.
C
At
that
time,
we
identified
the
shortfall
and
initiated
actions
to
eliminate
that
gay
app
and
to
produce
a
balanced
budget.
City
Council
has
conducted
a
great
deal
of
discussion
regarding
use
of
limited
term
revenues
and
we've
also
conducted
a
great
deal
of
time.
Time
and
discussion
devoted
to
evaluation
of
changes
in
our
organization.
I
will
note
again,
as
I
said
before,
that,
although
we've
been
at
this
for
a
number
of
years
and
in
total
have
reduced
approximately
fifteen
percent
of
our
total
general
fund
workforce
over
the
past
several
years.
C
In
fact,
the
effort
does
not
become
any
easier.
What
you
see
before
you
tonight,
in
a
way
of
additional
staff
reductions,
builds
on
reductions
which
have
occurred
in
previous
years
and
over
the
past
approximate,
seven
and
a
half
years,
that
we
have
continued
to
experience,
declines
in
revenues
and
budget
shortfalls.
As
I
said,
we've
reduced
a
significant
proportion
of
our
general
fund
workforce
and
have
made
changes
to
the
way
that
we
do
business
and
the
amount
of
service
that
we
provide
to
our
residents.
I
like
to
think
and
I.
C
Think
we've
done
a
good
job
that
many,
if
not
most,
of
the
changes
we
have
already
made
they've
been
intended
to
be
relatively
seamless
as
it
relates
to
the
perspective
of
the
public.
In
other
words,
we've
worked
very
hard
to
avoid
impacts
to
critical
programs
and
services
that
result
in
diminishment
of
the
quality
of
life
in
the
community
or
the
direct
services.
That
residents
specifically
need
I
believe
that
this
additional
reduction
continues,
but
probably
begins
in
a
more
deliberate
way,
changes
to
buy
our
services
that
will
be
more
readily
visible
to
members
of
our
community.
C
We
have
reduced
with
this
budget
in
additional
eight
point.
Six
positions
in
the
city's
general
fund
service,
those
are
listed
on
the
slide
in
front
of
you.
They
move
across
all
departments
in
our
organization
and
they
represent
changes
not
only
to
how
we
deliver
services,
as
I
mentioned
before,
but
some
tangible
eliminations
in
some
of
the
services
that
we
provide
in
particular
and
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
all
of
the
service
anticipated
service
impacts
that
are
listed
in
this
brief
summary
or
that
we
have
previously
discussed
with
the
City
Council.
C
But
just
will
mention
a
few
of
those.
We
anticipate
eliminating
the
police
response
to
non
injury
traffic
accidents,
a
level
of
service
that
we
have
historically
provided.
In
addition,
perhaps
to
the
more
intangible
increase
in
response
time.
In
certain
response
situations,
particularly
to
non-emergency
police
calls,
we
anticipate
a
reduction
in
the
amount
of
time
and
attention
that
can
be
devoted
to
preventative
Public,
Safety,
both
police
and
fire
activities
and,
in
particular,
preventive
activities
through
our
fire
department.
In
our
our
prevention
Bureau.
C
We
anticipate
with
a
significant
twenty
percent
reduction
to
our
landscape
maintenance
work
force
in
our
parks,
division.
That
is
two
out
of
our
ten
landscape
and
parks,
maintenance,
work,
staff,
workers
staff.
We
anticipate
a
significant
reduction
in
the
time
and
attention
that
our
staff
will
be
able
to
provide
both
to
park
maintenance,
although
that
will
continue
to
be
a
priority,
but
also
to
public
open
space
landscaped
areas
in
the
in
the
public
rights-of-way
in
a
particular
potentially
to
our
median
islands.
C
We
anticipate
transferring
the
maintenance,
or
rather
the
lining,
of
ball
fields
to
youth
sports
organization
user
groups,
as
opposed
to
being
able
to
provide
those
ourselves
and
with
the
reduction
in
our
custodial
staff.
Again,
a
twenty
percent
reduction
or
one
out
of
our
five
custodians
has
that
position
has
been
eliminated.
We
will
experience
a
decrease
in
the
frequency,
the
amount
and
the
level
of
service
that's
provided
to
routine
maintenance
of
our
facilities.
C
In
particular,
we
anticipate
at
our
library
with
a
substantial
reduction
in
the
part
time
hours
that
are
allocated
to
operating
the
library
and
supporting
our
relatively
limited
full-time
staff.
We
anticipate
needing
to
close
the
library
additional
hours
and
additional
eight
hours
per
week,
which
will
result
in
the
library
being
closed,
not
just
during
the
morning
hours
on
Fridays,
as
has
been
the
case
over
the
past
year,
but
for
the
entire
day
on
Friday
so
again,
I'm
just
attempting
to
highlight
primarily
for
the
members
of
the
public
who
may
not
have
followed
this
process
in
detail.
C
Some
of
the
changes
and
the
reductions
that
that
we
anticipate
residents
will
see
as
we
move
through
the
implementation
of
these
budget
reductions.
You
can
expect
that
there
may
be
additional
changes
that
need
to
be
made
and,
as
we
are
continuing
to
experience
of
revenue
constraints
to
fund
normal
operating
requirements
necessary
services
to
the
public.
We
do
anticipate
that
the
coming
year
will
require
careful,
vigorous
maintenance
of
oversight
to
the
budget,
as
well
as
the
regular
quarterly
reporting
to
the
City
Council.
C
And
we
would
anticipate
making
adjustments
as
necessary
to
assure
that
the
budget
that
we
are
delivering
over
the
course
of
the
next
12
months
continues
to
meet
the
council's
priority
direction
for
the
maintenance
of
a
balanced
budget.
That
I
asked
mr.
suen
to
finish
the
presentation,
and
then
this
is
a
public
hearing.
Item
is
mary
indicated.
The
public
hearing
remains
open
and
this
is
the
opportunity
for
any
additional
discussion,
questions
or
comments
by
the
city
council
before
we
produce
your
final
budget,
any.
B
As
you
can
tell
each
one
of
these
funds
do
have
a
balanced
budget
and
incorporates
three
you're
a
great
programs
for
the
primary,
the
free
primary
funds
order
to
find
Mary
funds
that
being
the
water
and
wastewater
find
the
other
funds
that
are
of
significance
are
the
other
funds
that
are
within
the
city,
included
in
internal
service
funds
and
then,
finally,
within
the
San
Bruno
redevelopment
agency,
we
have
an
operating
fund,
the
low
and
moderate
income
housing
fund
that
also
has
budgets
and
for
the
operating
fund
that
includes
a
seer
aft.
Take
away.
B
That's
your
number
two
expected
to
be
about
four
hundred
ten
thousand
dollars.
Just
as
a
reminder.
Last
year
we
paid
almost
one
point:
almost
two
million
dollars
in
Syria
take
away
that
the
state
imposed
on
us
as
part
of
their
budget
process
that
their
budget
balancing
process.
So
you
two
is
smaller,
but
obviously
it's
the
significant
number
four
redevelopment
agency
and
finally,
the
low
and
moderate
income
housing
fund.
Is
that
really
the
twenty
percent
set
aside?
That's
required
under
redevelopment
law.
So
with
that
this
is
a
public
hearing
as
indicated.
B
So
the
recommendation
for
the
City
Council
is
to
approve
the
recommended
2010-11
budget
for
the
city,
as
well
as
the
2010-11
budget
for
development
agency
and
then
fouling
finally,
making
the
determination
that
the
planning
administrative
expenses
funded
by
the
low
and
Mott
income
fund
are
necessary
for
the
production,
improvement
and
preservation
of
affordable
housing
for
low
and
moderate
income.
Households
with
that
I'll
take
any
questions
from
the
City
Council
any
questions
at
this
time,
not.
D
B
E
F
This
chair
re,
thank
you.
I
have
a
couple
of
things
I'd
like
us
to
consider.
First,
divide
like
this
thing:
staff
for
all
their
hard
work
on
this.
It's
not
easy,
taking
a
little
bit
that
we
have
taking
some
more
away
from
it
and
still
doing
all
the
services
that
people
expect
from
us.
So
I
compliment
you
on
how
you've
done
what
you've
done
and
all
the
different
choices
we
have
before
us.
You've
made
it
very
clear
what
they
are.
F
So
thank
you
for
that
I'd
like
us
to
consider
two
items,
one
we
had
in
the
past
a
leadership
program
that
has
been
eliminated.
It
was
a
ten-thousand-dollar
budget
item
I'd
like
to
suggest
that
we
include
a
some
amount
of
that
back
into
the
budget,
perhaps
up
to
five
thousand
dollars.
One
of
the
reasons
is
we
have
no
backup
for
anybody.
F
We
have
no
assistant
city
manager,
where
many
cities
of
our
size
have
at
least
one,
if
not
two,
we
have
no
assistant
anybody
per
se,
and
the
leadership
program
that
was
developed
in
the
past
gave
opportunity
for
mid-management
to
kind
of
exercise
their
leadership
abilities
and
learn
what
it
would
be
to
take
on
the
department
head
responsibilities
or
different
things
like
that.
So
I
think
it's
crucial
for
the
city
and
the
city
organization
to
continue
some
kind
of
program.
F
I,
don't
think
it
has
to
be
what
was
in
the
past,
but
I
would
like
us
to
consider
adding
that
to
our
budget.
The
other
thing
I'd
like
us
to
really
consider
is
adding
some
money
back
into
the
library
fund.
They
are
taking
seventy
thousand
dollars
out
I'd
like
us
to
consider
adding
twenty-two
thousand
dollars
back.
That
would
enable
some
flexibility
with
more
part-time
people.
It
would
allow
opening
on
friday,
where
now
it
was
closed
and
think
about
the
library
when
your
own
income
is
reduced
or
eliminated.
It
means
you
don't
go
to
the
movies.
F
You
don't
go
to
barnes
and
nobles
and
buy
books.
You
don't
do
a
lot
of
those
things
and
in
from
2005
till
now
the
library,
the
circulation
has
increased
forty-seven
percent.
That
means
people
go
to
the
library
and
take
out
40
/,
seven
percent,
more
things,
books,
CDs
movies,
all
those
things
it
also
in
that
same
time
period,
we've
increased
patronage
by
hundred
people
a
day
so
from
800
people
five
years
ago
to
900
people
a
day
use
our
library,
it's
not
any
bigger.
F
We
don't
have
many
new
things,
but
they
can't
go
anywhere
else
and
that's
kind
of
the
last
line
of
for
entertainment
for
research,
for
children's
books
and
different
programs
like
that.
So
I'd
like
us
to
consider
adding
back
twenty
two
thousand
dollars
for
the
library.
So
those
are
my
two
comments.
Anyone.
E
F
E
Well,
my
only
concern
is
a
we're
going
to
reserves
again
to
we're
going
to
be
laying
as
somebody
go
off,
and
that
is
a
concern
and
obviously
we
can
even
argue
the
enterprise
fund,
a
cable
we
shouldn't
furlough
them.
We
should
keep
them
open
because
they're
providing
a
service
and
we're
trying
to
now
a
recruit
individuals
to
come
and
join
our
organization
within
Samuel,
cable
family
shall
we
say,
and
yet
we're
furloughing
them
so
in
essence,
they're,
a
customer
service
provider
and
so
six
days
a
year,
they're
going
to
be
closed.
I'm
also
concerned.
E
If
all
the
bargaining
units
do
not
accept
what
we
are
hoping
for,
then
obviously
we're
going
to
be
back
to
the
drawing
board
here,
I
believe
and
staff.
Please
correct
me
and
if
that's
the
case,
then
what
do
we
do?
They
are
we
going
to
go
back
into
reserves?
So
to
me
this
opens
up
some
questions
of
concerns
that
I
have
because
I,
even
if
we
did
do
the
27,000
now
to
reserve
what
happens
if
what
happens
if
the
economy
still
doesn't
flourish
as
we
hope
what
happens
if
the
bargaining
is?
E
D
Yeah,
I
agree.
I
really,
I
really
appreciate
you
know
the
passion
that
councilman
o'connor's
and
I
and
I
agree
with
those
with
those
assessments,
but
yes,
we're
dealing
with
other
people's
lives.
Now
so-
and
I
believe,
were,
we
are
totally
laying
off
about
44
individuals
where
we're
adjusting
the
employment
of
others
and
and
yet
there
are
still
some
unanswered
questions.
D
We
meet
every
meeting
just
to
just
to
talk
about
these
negotiations,
so
I
think
those
things
are
going
to
be
in
the
back
of
our
mind,
you
know
and
we've
been
dealing
with
this
budget
on
a
monthly
basis.
You
know
for
the
last
eight
years
and
so
I
think
we'll
we'll
deal
with
that
and
if
things
start
picking
up
then
I'm
sure
one
of
us,
including
a
missile,
mrs.
G
One
question
to
staff:
if,
after
we've
done
we're
done
going
through
this
and
we
approved
the
budget-
and
we
did
have
an
opportunity
at
some
point
to
maybe
find
another
source
of
revenue,
would
we
be
able
then
to
come
back
and
maybe
amend
some
of
these
lines?
I
think
that's
still
an
option
for
us.
Isn't
it
it.
C
You
have
the
opportunity
at
any
time
to
amend
the
budget,
including
at
those
times
when
you
have
the
opportunity
to
see
what
the
trends
are
and
and
if
it
were
the
case,
that
revenues
were
trending
ahead
of
projections
or
if
there
were
some
reason
to
anticipate
that
certain
expenditures
might
not
need
to
be.
Budget
expenditures
might
not
be
needed
in
the
light
of
new
information
in
the
at
some
point
down
the
road
here,
you
would
have
the
ability
to
make
changes
at
any
time.
Thank.
E
You
to
that
you're,
the
only
other
one
thing
I
was
going
to
start
off
with
was
that
I
think
the
public
needs
to
understand
too
we're
using
500,000
of
erath
we're
using
400,000
of
redevelopment
agency
loan
equipment,
but
would
have
gone
back
into
the
equipment
reserve
so
in
essence,
there's
nine
hundred
thousand
dollars
that
is
being
used
as
one
time
we'll
call
it
again
so
that
we
can
balance
this
budget.
So
we
don't
decimate
the
services
more
and
we
don't
have
to
reduce
services
as
well
as
lay
off
individuals
on
our
city
payroll.
E
So
in
essence
we
still
are
taking,
because
these
things
could
be
replenished
to
maybe
go
infrastructure
and
our
facility
maintenance
and
other
things
that
are
also
lacking,
and
we
have
not
really
a
great
plan
for
the
future
as
far
as
some
of
our
current
buildings
and
that
there
are
50
years
plus
as
a
library,
the
pool
the
fire
station,
all
those
things
need
attention.
So
I
think
the
community
needs
to
understand
too
I
think
had
we
really
live
within
our
means,
as
I
will
call
it,
which
means
we
don't
touch
any
of
these
monies.
E
It
would
estimate
I
believe
the
services
that
we
currently
and
what
the
community
expect
and
I
think
we
need
to
understand
we're
not
out
of
the
tough
waters
yet,
and
it
is
still
going
to
be
a
tough
year
and
a
tough
to
10
to
11.
So
when
the
services
are
a
noticed
or
the
calls
aren't
responded
to
in
a
timely
fashion,
I
don't
mean
emergency
services.
The
puddle
means
understand,
what's
happening,
it's
happening
everywhere
and
in
their
homes
and
in
their
own
personal
lives.
A
Well,
there's
good
points
made
in
both
sides,
I'm
not
really
in
favor
getting
into
reserves.
We,
you
know
thank
God.
We
have
some
reserve
some
cities,
don't
the
leadership
program
I
mean
I
point
well
taken.
I
think
the
that's
something
we
can
look
at
if,
in
fact,
as
a
way
and
then
in
the
not-too-distant
future,
to
put
5,000
in,
I
do
agree
with
irene
on
the
library
believe
it
or
not.
Not
everybody
has
a
computer
believe
it
or
not.
Not
everybody
can
go
to.
A
You
know
a
place
in
rent
a
movie
where
they
can
go
to
the
library.
Believe
it
or
not.
You
know
a
lot
of
people
don't
have
the
things
that
the
day-to-day
things
that
a
lot
of
us
take
for
granted
like
Park
and
Rec.
You
know
if
you
can't
go
to
a
giants
game
because
the
budgets
really
tight
or
whatever
you
can
go
to
the
park,
and
so
it
like.
I
said
if
you,
if
you
don't
have
a
computer
at
home,
you
can
go
to
the
library
and
to
cut
that
down.
A
They
even
the
smallest
amount,
given
the
fact
that
the
use
of
the
library
has
increased.
So
dramatically
and
that's
a
sign
of
the
times
2,
I'm
in
favor
of
finding
22
thousand
dollars
in
place
and
if,
in
fact
it
has
to
come
for
reserves
I'm
for
that
and
if,
in
fact,
the
next
five
six
months,
two
months
eight
months,
we
can
find
a
little
increase
someplace
to
put
back
in
reserve
side
before
that.
A
But
it's
the
little
things
that
people
appreciate
the
most
when
times
get
tough
it
they
use
things
like
the
library
and
the
park.
Those
are
those
are
things
you
know
we
have
to
think
about
budgets.
We
have
to
talk
about
bargaining
units.
You
know
the
bargaining
in
this
city
is
just
like
any
of
anyplace
else.
It's
give
and
take.
We
sit
at
the
table.
A
We
work
together,
but
we
have
an
opportunity
here
to
say
yes
or
no,
and
so
I
I
am
for
funding
22
thousand
dollars
more
formal
into
the
library
to
do
is
what
Irene
said
we
can
keep
it
open
a
little
bit
longer,
because
that's
one
of
the
things
that
people
we
have
to
take
care
of
this
whole
city,
but
we
have
to
take
care
of
the
of
the
people
that
really
need
that
service.
So
that's
my
little
spiel
yeah
can.
F
Would
give
staff
flexibility
to
have
the
part-time
people
just
salary,
some
of
the
part-time
people
that
would
keep
the
library
open
on
fridays
now
that
it?
If
we
pass
the
current
budget,
the
library
would
have
to
close
on
friday.
This
would
keep
the
library
open
on
fridays.
They
would
keep
the
program
such
as
story
time
this
summer
reading
program,
school
visits
would
remain
at
their
current
service
level,
and
we
would
continue
to
have
the
book
claim.
F
D
F
C
The
seventy
thousand
dollar
cut-
that's
proposed
almost
entirely
eliminates
it,
because
it's
it's
compounding
cuts
that
have
been
made
in
previous
years
to
the
part-time
hours.
It
makes
a
substantial
reduction
to
as
council
member
indicated,
the
flexibility
and
capacity
of
staff
to
cover
operational
requirements.
Twenty-Two
thousand
dollars
would
allow
us
to
if
it
is
the
council's
priority
preference
to
maintain
the
operating
hours,
it's
it
still
would
require
reconfiguring
the
way
that
we
staffed
the
library,
in
other
words,
who's
what
components
are
being
staffed
and
how
many
people
are
present.
C
There
would
still
be
a
substantial
change,
obviously,
but
that
a
little
bit
of
flexibility
would
allow
us
to
maintain
operating
hours.
If
that
was
the
service,
that
was
the
priority
expressed
by
the
council,
which
I'm
hearing
we
I'm,
not
remembering
the
precise
amount
of
part-time
hours
that
are
currently
proposed
to
be
maintained
in
the
budget.
But
it's
a
very,
very
looking
for
right.
Now,
it's
a
very
small
amount
compared
to
what's
historically
has
been
available.
C
We're
cutting
in
half,
essentially
one
hundred
forty
eight
thousand
dollars
is
regular
part-time
budget
in
the
library
right
now
we
cut
it
in
half.
Would
that
that's
a
pretty
dramatic
change
to
the
staffing
profile
that
the
part
time
I
hourly
staff
is
substantive,
a
very
significant
component
of
the
of
the
way
that
the
library
is
staffed
with.
C
That
is
correct.
That
is
correct.
Just
a
comment
on
the
council's
previous
conversation
about:
where
would
the
money
come
from?
We
would
be
happy
if
it
is
countless
direction
in
acting
on
the
budget
tonight
to
come
back
to
you
at
the
next
meeting,
with
a
specific
proposal
about
how
that
could
be
managed
and
if
possible,
if
there's
a
another
reduction,
we
could
identify.
That
would
take
the
place
of
that
it's.
This
is
a
very
tight
budget.
C
C
C
No
actually,
what
it
is
he's
reminding
me
that
the
hours
on
other
days
of
the
week,
Monday
through
Thursday
would
still
be
reduced
and
I
did
not
mention
this
before.
Currently,
those
hours
monday
through
thursday
are
ten
a.m.
to
nine
p.m.
and
the
ad
back
of
a
limited
amount
of
part-time
hours
would
not
fully
restore
those
hours.
The
hours
that
we're
anticipating
monday
through
thursday
would
still
be
cut
to
11
am-2,
8pm,
I
I.
C
Think
that
that
is
still
within
the
parameters
of
the
type
of
access,
though,
that
the
council
is
talking
about
the
idea
of
being
not
available
on
an
entire
day
is
kind
of
a
different
thing
than
being
available
on
fewer
hours.
During
the
day
and
the
evening
again,
we
we
could,
we
can
come
back
to
you.
You
can
approve
the
budget
with
the
with
it,
either
with
an
increase
in
the
allocation
or
direct
us
to
come
back
to
you
with
a
specific
additional
compensating
decrease
somewhere
else.
My.
D
C
This
coming
Friday
dress.
That's
that's
an
interesting
question.
It
would
not
necessarily
the
answer
is
no.
We
have
not
noticed
the
public
and
my
specific
direction
to
staff.
Is
you
understand
that
you
have
a
budget
that
reduces
your
part-time
hours
by
seventy
thousand
dollars,
so
you
will
make
it
work.
You
will
provide
notice
to
the
public
before
you
close
the
hours
on
Friday
or
any
other
time,
and
so
the
operations
of
the
library
are
being
managed
with
within
the
parameters
of
that
direction.
E
My
position
would
be
that
you
can
bring
it
back,
but
I
want
to
see
how
it's
going
to
get
paid
for
it,
not
out
of
reserves.
Again,
it's
tight
budget,
everyone's
feeling
it
we're
asking
for
sacrifices,
were
laying
off
people
and
I.
Think
I
can
go
almost
to
every
department
and
say
why
we
need
more
somewhere
and
yes,
library
has
a
huge
service
level
that
it
provides
them
the
councilman's,
not
exaggerating,
buyer
or
the
stats
and
the
numbers
of
people
that
do
utilize.
E
That
service,
even
though
you
know
thank
God,
that
the
kids
from
Park
site
were
here,
because
they
were
making
this
budget
a
little
more
pleasant
to
deal
with
this
evening,
because
there
are
nice
stories
but
I'm
prepared
at
this
moment
to
approve
the
budget,
and
we
can
bring
back
that
item.
This
is
my
thought
to
review,
but
I'm
not
prepared
to
increase
it
tonight.
D
G
F
I
I
wouldn't
want
eliminate
limit
staff
from
saying:
don't
you
use
reserves
at
all,
maybe
there's
5,000
here
and
5,000
there
and
five
dozen
from
reserves,
so
I'd
like
to
say
to
them,
bring
us
something
back.
How
are
ya
and
it
sounds
like
the
council
is
willing
to
look
at
increasing
the
library
amount
by
twenty-two
thousand
dollars.
So
with
that
caveat,
I
moved
to
approve
all
the
recommendations
that
are
on
the
board.
