Description
San Bruno City Council Meeting June 26, 2012
8 Approve 2012-13 Fiscal Budget and
Approve Gann Limit for 2012-13 Fiscal Year
B
Mr.
mayor
members
of
the
City
Council
part
of
our
presentation
tonight,
although
abbreviated
will
be
repetitious
of
the
two
study
sessions
that
the
City
Council
conducted
on
june
sixth
and
june
thirteenth,
we
want
to
provide
an
opportunity
for
members
of
the
public
who
might
not
have
been
able
to
either
view
or
attend
the
study
session
meetings
to
have
a
general
idea
of
about
the
organizing
principles
that
are
incorporated
into
this
budget.
Before
I
moved
to
the
actual
detailed
budget
comments.
B
I
wanted
to
make
a
couple
of
comments
on
items
that
were
discussed
by
members
of
the
public
who
did
take
the
opportunity
to
attend
the
study
sessions
on
june
sixth
and
june
thirteenth.
Particularly.
There
were
two
comments
that
I
wanted
to
respond
to
tonight
and
provide
additional
information
for
the
city
council
and
for
the
public.
B
24
hour
shifts
the
concern
that
was
articulated
by
a
member
of
the
public
had
to
do
with
whether
there
was
a
safety
album
when
apparatus
and
firefighters
are
out
of
their
normal
assigned
district
or
territory,
and
although
the
police
I'm
sorry,
the
fire
chief
answered
that
question
that
night
I
don't
want
to
answer
it
again
and
to
make
sure
that
that
information
is
not
left
unresponsive
to
in
in
the
public
domain.
The
short
answer
to
that
issue
of
that
question.
B
That
comment
is
that
the
firefighters
are
allowed
to
take
care
of
that
normal
business
during
their
assigned
work
shift,
in
addition
to
shopping
for
groceries,
as
as
they
do
very
quickly.
They
are
also
taking
the
opportunity
of
being
in
the
in
the
public
arena
to
discuss
and
disseminate
fire
prevention
information
to
members
of
the
public,
and
they
do
that
routinely
as
part
of
their
assigned
responsibilities.
B
But
beyond
that
in
terms
of
responding
to
calls
as
the
council
as
well
aware,
we
operate
under
a
boundary
dot
and
joint
deployment
program
countywide
within
San
Mateo
County.
Under
this
system,
fire
apparatus
are
dispatched
from
the
nearest
location,
whether
or
not
they
are
assigned
specifically
to
that
particular
locale
or
district,
and
the
public
safety
is
not
compromised
by
a
particular
apparatus
being
either
out
of
district
or
out
of
service.
B
Typically,
what
is
what
happens
when
a
fire
apparatus
is
not
in
its
assigned
location
for
any
reason,
and
that
could
include,
because
firefighters
are
on
mandated
training
or
they
are
performing
other
assigned
functions.
The
next
available
apparatus
may
be
required,
whether
it
not
it's
in
the
same
jurisdiction
or
not.
For
example,
in
our
case
apparatus,
out
of
South
City
might
need
to
move
up
and
be
positioned
in
order
to
take
that
next
call.
B
So
again,
there
is
no
deficit
to
public
safety,
and
the
regional
deployment
program
is
deliberately
intended
to
provide
for
those
kinds
of
situations
that
may
arise
for
a
variety
of
different
reasons
when
apparatus
and
firefighters
are
out
of
their
of
their
normal
territory.
The
second
issue,
and
again
this
is
something
that
I
wanted
to
cover
for
the
benefit
of
public
information
had
to
do
with
the
water
and
wastewater
rates
that
remain
under
consideration
and
final
action
by
the
City
Council.
B
And
specifically,
there
was
a
comment
at
your
last
City
Council
meeting
a
at
the
at
the
public
podium
speaker
from
the
public
provided
information
that
suggested
that
the
water
and
wastewater
rates
were
not
on
average
being
considered
at
a
nine
point:
eight
percent
I'm.
Sorry,
the
water
rates
were
not
being
considered
accurately
at
a
nine
point.
Eight
percent
average
increased
level,
but
in
fact
the
rates
might
vary
as
much
as
increase
of
thirty
to
forty
to
fifty
percent.
B
And
so
the
nine
point
eight
percent
is
really
an
average
based
on
water
use,
as
it
is
averaged
out
over
the
entire
customer
base,
but
may
or
may
not
be
specifically
related
to
individual
households.
Actual
percentage
increase
so
I
hope
that
clarifies
those
those
two
items
that
were
raised
during
the
study
session.
B
B
As
such,
this
budget
is
built
around
the
continuing
assumptions
of
the
existing
labor
agreements,
which
call
for,
as
the
council
is
aware,
a
relatively
significant
reduction
in
employee
salary
and
benefit
costs.
That
has
occurred
over
the
past
three
years
with
the
concession
bargaining
that
has
resulted
in
containment
of
medical
premium,
increased
costs
as
well
as
furlough
for
all
employees
in
the
in
the
city
organization.
B
What
we
call
supplemental
budget
proposals
that
are
presented
to
you
and
are
summarized
in
the
budget
document
in
greater
detail
that
are,
we
consider
to
be
important
and
necessary
to
continue
a
reasonable
delivery
of
service,
but
have
been
packaged
in
a
manner
that,
in
fact,
the
net
cost
of
the
proposals
in
total
is
actually
very,
very
small.
So
the
the
total
cost
of
the
of
the
program
is
netted
by
where
expenditures
are
proposed
to
increase.
B
B
But
that
remain
as
challenges
to
the
to
the
city
organization,
particularly
as
we
look
at
the
long-term
future,
we've
seen,
for
example,
what
the
impact
of
a
pretty
significant
disaster
can
create
in
terms
of
cost.
Fortunately,
in
this
particular
disaster,
the
city
is
not
being
impacted
by
costs
as
a
result
of
the
financial
arrangements
that
we
would
be
able
to
negotiate
with
pge,
but,
among
other
things,
preparedness
for
disaster
and
the
potential
financial
effects
of
that
deferred.
B
Maintenance
of
city
facilities,
as
well
as
a
variety
of
other
topics,
continue
to
you
know,
are
still
relatively
constrained.
Financial
situation
continue
to
be
a
tissue
and
will
need
our
attention
over
the
next
12
months
as
we
as
we
address
the
potential
opportunity
to
see
some
improvement
in
revenues,
and
we
continue
to
grapple
with
the
variety
of
issues
that
continue
to
challenge
the
city
organization.
So
with
that
I'll
ask
Kim
to
give
you
a
more
detailed
review
of
both
revenues
and
expenditures
outlined
in
this
budget.
B
C
What
we've
discussed
since
the
mid-year
budget
review
and
in
anticipation
of
building
this
budget,
we
have
experienced
an
increase
in
taxes
in
the
city,
primarily
in
the
areas
of
sales
tax.
In
transient
occupancy
tax,
we
are
anticipating
a
continued
increase
into
the
1213
fiscal
year.
In
addition,
the
loss
of
redevelopment
will
have
having
a
very
dramatic
impact
on
the
general
fund
and
adverse
impact
on
the
general
fund.
C
There
is
a
small
benefit
that
the
city
will
receive
additional
property
tax
as
a
result
of
the
elimination
of
redevelopment,
so
we
have
factored
in
some
it
growth
in
property
tax
as
a
result
of
the
elimination
of
redevelopment,
the
restoration
of
cops
funding
occurred
just
after
the
adoption
of
the
2011-12
there
at
2011-12
budget.
So
the
1213
incorporates
that
that
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
of
cops
funding
in
lieu
of
motor
vehicle
license
fees
that
we
previously
received.
C
There
was
a
budget
swap
that
essentially
took
away
the
BLF
fees
and
then
provided
us
with
the
cops
fees,
so
those
sort
of
Netta
themselves
out.
We
have
an
increase
in
the
fire
revenues
as
a
result
of
a
shared
meet
the
services
agreement
for
a
shared
mechanic
with
central
county
fire.
We
have
factored
in
the
receipt
of
building
permit
fees
from
the
krecem
crestmoor
rebuilds,
as
well
as
cedar
mills.
C
So
those
are
all
positives.
On
the
revenue
side
on
reduction
side,
we
have
the
factor
of
redevelopment
the
elimination
of
redevelopment,
there's
a
loss
of
what
used
to
come
into
the
general
fun
as
allocations
the
recovery
of
costs
associated
with
General
Administration
salaries
that
were
budgeted
or
that
were
recovered
from
the
redevelopment
agency.
That
was
a
reduction
of
seven
hundred
and
eighty
thousand
dollars
in
the
budget
for
an
annual,
as
well
as
the
reduction
with
the
city
previously
received
an
interest
payment
from
the
Redevelopment
Agency.
C
For
advances
made
to
the
agency
that
interest
payment
has
essentially
been
eliminated,
as
things
currently
stand
so,
overall,
a
reduction
of
9,
approximately
nine
hundred
fifty
thousand
dollars
to
offset
that
so
the
numbers
as
they
stack
up
the
1213
proposed
budget
in
comparison
to
the
11-12
amended
budget.
As
you
can
see,
even
with
all
the
positives,
the
increases
in
taxes
as
well,
some
of
the
prior
mental
revenue
increases.
We
had
an
overall
budget.
C
The
budget
comparison
1213
budget
to
in
comparison
to
the
current
year,
amended
budget
reduction
of
four
hundred
and
twenty
four
thousand
dollars
in
revenues
on
the
expenditure
side.
As
we
previously
discussed,
this
has
been
a
hold
the
line
budget
and
that
attempted
to
reduce
costs
without
having
service
reductions
wherever
possible.
C
There
were
a
number
of
reductions
that
were
made
in
individual
department
budgets
that
were
identified
in
the
course
of
the
budget
preparation
process
that
were
highlighted
during
the
twelve
thirteen
budget
study
sessions,
as
the
city
manager
already
mentioned
at
the
existing
negotiated,
salary
and
benefit
reductions
do
remain
in
effect
in
the
1213
budget
expenditures
in
projections.
Given
the
uncertainty
of
those
agreements,
there
are
supplemental
budget
requests
that
have
been
previously
highlighted,
which
include
the
reorganizations
as
well
as
some
other
enhancements
that
result
in
a
net
decrease
of
fourteen
thousand
dollars
for
the
general
fund.
C
The
11-12,
the
current
year
budget
was
also
the
final
year
of
the
debt
service
payment
for
the
City
Hall
remodel,
so
in
1213
that
debt
service
payment
is
eliminated.
And
finally,
another
factor
in
the
1213
budget
was
that
was
the
fact
that
we
no
longer
had
redevelopment.
You
allocate
either
staff
salaries
to,
as
well
as
the
programs
that
were
previously
funded
by
redevelopment
now
had
to
find
a
new
home
in
the
general
fund.
So
that
was
another
factor
that
we
had
to
take
into
account
as
we
developed
this
budget.
C
C
Those
were
presented
during
the
second
but
budget
study
session
is
part
of
the
equipment
purchase
section.
Those
account
for
ninety
thousand
dollars
when
you
factor
in
all
those
changes
where
we
end
up
is
a
change
in
fund
balance.
A
positive
change
in
fund
balance
without
the
use
of
one-time
reserves
or
revenues
to
balance
the
budget
of
just
over
fifteen
thousand
dollars.
C
Very
quickly,
I'd
like
to
just
touch
upon
there's
two
items
that
are
two
action
items
before
you
tonight,
the
first
being
the
approval
of
the
budget.
The
second
item
is
the
approval
of
the
Gann
limit.
I
just
want
to
very
quickly
walk
through
what
the
Gann
limit
is
in
1979.
The
voters
approve
what
was
called
proposition
for
refer
to
as
again
limit,
which
essentially
creates
say,
restriction
on
the
amount
of
tax
revenue
that
can
be
appropriated
every
year.
C
Essentially,
what
it
does
is
it
took
a
base
expenditures
from
1978,
1979
and
you're
able
to
adjust
that
every
year
by
index
of
cost
of
living
adjustment,
as
well
as
a
population
growth
factor
that
is
provided
to
us
by
the
State
Department
of
Finance.
So
the
revenues
that
are
subject
to
the
Gann
limit
are
just
tax
generated
revenues
which,
for
San
Bruno,
are
four
categories:
property
tax
sales,
tax,
transient
occupancy
tax
in
business
tax.
C
When
you
add
up
all
those
proceeds
of
taxes
and
make
adjustments
for
some
exclusions
that
are
allowed
under
the
Gann
limit
calculation,
we
end
up
with
a
proceeds
of
taxes,
dollar
amount
of
just
19
million,
just
over
19
point:
eight
million.
When
we
do
our
calculated
Gann
appropriation
limit,
we
end
up
with
a
number
of
30
2.3
million.
So
what
this
is
saying
is
that
we
are
well
the
city
of
San
Bruno
is
well
below
the
big
an
appropriations
limit.
B
Wanted
to
add
this
is
a
gin
dice
as
a
public
hearing
item.
We
would
ask
that
the
City
Council
open
and
then
close
the
public
hearing
before
you
take
action
on
the
budget.
We're
recommending
the
budget
for
approval
tonight
just
call
to
the
council's
attention
the
item
in
the
agenda
packet
that
was
transmitted
to
you
electronically,
that
transcribes
and
then
answers
all
of
the
questions
that
we
received,
or
at
least
all
of
the
ones
that
we
recorded
receiving
at
the
study
sessions
and
then
subsequent
to
the
study
sessions.
B
A
Questions
of
staff
before
we
open
the
public
hearing
all
right
this
time,
we're
going
to
open
the
public
hearing
amenity,
any
members
of
the
public
like
to
speak
to
the
council
regarding
this
item,
all
right,
if
we
close
public
hearing
preclude
you
from
talking
about
the
side
again,
action
move
to
close
pub
hearing.
Second,.
D
E
Couple
thanks
with
we
just
city
manager,
to
discussed
about
disaster,
and
not
because
eric
is
in
the
audience
that
there
was
go
together,
but
there
was
once
brought
up
about
in
an
IT
as
far
as
having
a
backup
from
all
of
our
computer
in
down
a
system
from
what
we
have
at
City
Hall
and
then
I
thought
it
was
to
have
a
backup
system
over
at
the
police.
Station
plaza
has
not
ever
been
accomplished.
C
E
So
what
one
area
that
I'm,
still
having
a
hard
time
to
two
areas
specifically
is
one:
is
the
cmms
system
I
appreciate
the
information
that
was
given?
I
went
back
again
as
far
as
this
something
we
started
back
in
07,
the
additional
costs
that
seemed
to
come
up.
Sixty
five
hundred
dollars
was
supposed
to
be
divided
by
four
and
obviously
there's
support.
Now,
there's
going
into
a
different
division,
which
means
more,
which
means
when
we
go
into
another
division,
water,
streets,
etc.
E
There's
going
to
be
again
more
to
that
I,
don't
recall
when
we
went
down
this
path
of
all
these
additional
costs,
we're
talking
about
more
monies
to
help
implement
it.
We
have
an
management
analyst,
that's
going
to
assist
with
it.
So
that's
one
thing.
The
second
thing
is
it's
far
as
a
reorganization
amongst
the
administration
and
community
services
in
light
of
the
Community
Development
Department,
and
that
change
that's
going
to
occur,
should
we
maybe
step
back
for
30
days,
reevaluate
the
whole
structure
of
all
of
that
and
see
what
what
fits
best
going
forward.
E
One
of
my
concerns
is
that
I'm,
looking
to
you
know
we're
talking
about
senior
services
and
library
services
under
one
assistant,
director
and
then
I
get
concerned,
we're
taking
out
a
library,
circulation
manager,
I
believe,
and
then
we're
taking
half
of
that
director
and
bringing
it
to
the
senior
center.
This
is
a
big
task.
This
has
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
special
folks
that
that
are
used
to
a
lot
of
love,
and
I
think
both
both
sides
deserve.
It.
E
I
get
concerned
that,
if
we're
not
going
to
shortchange
senior
services
or
the
library,
as
we
were
told
in
the
study
session,
there's
about
1200
folks
that
go
through
the
library
I
actually
was
walking
through
it
on
Saturday.
It
was
on
my
mind,
I,
don't
know
if
that
fully
addresses
that.
So
that
is
a
concern.
Also.
I
had
interest
in
that
restructuring
about
spreading
that
thin
and
whether
there's
adequate
services
to
provide
what
the
community
and
the
residents
expect
in
both
areas.
D
Let
me
see,
I
is
Larry
often,
and
so
I
was
my
family
and
my
understanding
of
how
this
works
and
Brandi
wants
to
add
this
actual
statistics
and
all
first
of
all,
unfortunately,
the
1200
it
wasn't.
It
was
Miss
stated
it
wasn't.
1200
people
that
go
through
with
1200
items
that
get
checked
in
I'm.
Sorry,
they
get
checked
out
a
day.
It's
about
700,
sorry
900,
people
that
go
in
and
out,
which
is
still
a
huge
number.
D
The
part
of
the
physical
aspect
of
the
library,
because
it
is
relatively
small
compared
to
the
size
of
the
city
and
the
population,
is
actually
getting
the
items
back
on
the
shelves.
So
people
can
use
them
and
get
them
out
again.
So
that
needs
a
physical
body
who
picks
them
up
and
put
some
more.
They
go
and
not
to
say
we
don't
want
to
have
the
manager
or
whatever
helping
with
the
program's
themselves
we're
limited
on
what
programs
we
can
actually
do
because
of
the
size
of
the
library.
D
So
if
and
when
we
get
a
bigger
library
and
we
can
have
more
programs,
we
will
definitely
need
a
manager
to
take
care
of
those
things.
So
my
understanding
and
what
I've
talked
to
people
and
staff
and
a
variety
of
other
people
that
the
manager
that
the
money
is
going
into
pages
and
the
pages
actually
physically
pick
up
the
stuff
and
put
them
back
on
the
shelves
where
people
can
go
and
get
them
so
I.
E
Would
say
that
there
are
more
programs,
I
would
say
that
we
have
more
population
in
the
community,
less
staff
in
the
library
than
my
gun
on
the
council,
and
you
have
more
programs
and
activities
to
handicap,
accessibility
and
the
programs
that
the
director
here
and
there's
the
staff
has
implemented
downstairs.
So
I
see
it
as
an
increase
both
as
services
with
less
staff,
yeah
and
a
larger
population.
So,
yes,.
E
So
my
concern
is:
have
we
thought
it
through
enough
to
where
everything
succeeds
and
we're
not
short
changing?
Because
you
are
talking
about
a
lemon,
not
fulfilling
a
position
and
you're
going
to
take
the
assistant
library
director,
make
them
their
halftime?
And
here
halftime,
it's
not
walking
across
the
street.
It's
coming
up
the
road
here
so
again,
I
just
think
both
areas
need
to
be
serviced
adequately
and
I'm
concerned
about
its
future
ready.
F
F
Freeing
up
a
lot
of
the
upper
administration's
time
at
the
library
I
would
foresee
that
the
library,
the
assistant
library
director,
especially
initially,
might
be
up
here
at
the
Senior
Center
10
hours
a
week
or
12
hours
a
week.
Learning
the
programs
and
meeting
things
working
a
lot
with
staff.
That's
up
here!
Mary
Susan
Gloria,
the
three
recreation
supervisors
to
get
a
lot
of
the
workload
done.
B
D
B
Don't
have
additional
information
for
the
City
Council
to
address
any
more
specific
issues.
What
I
would
suggest
is
that
I
think
the
interest
is
warranted.
There
is
a
significant
investment
in
this
system
and
what
I
would
like
to
do
is
to
suggest
that
we
bring
this
back
to
the
City
Council
for
a
more
thorough
discussion
of
both
how
it
will
be
deployed
and
what
the
various
cost
components
are.
B
As
we
discussed
at
the
study
session,
there
is
a
change
in
the
support
the
product
lineup
that
the
the
vendor
will
support,
and
we
need
to
address
that
if
we're
going
to
continue
to
utilize
the
system
inis
we
discussed
at
the
study
session,
there
is
a
a
reliance
on
the
system
and
a
high
level
of
utilization
that
is
providing
a
beneficial
service
to
the
waste
water
division.
There
is
a
need
to
bring
the
system
up
into
a
more
functional
capacity
for
the
water
and
potentially
a
stormwater
division.
E
What
is
your
thought
as
a
manager
as
far
as
with
the
change
in
community
development,
should
we
sit
back
and
relook
at
the
whole
picture?
Do
you
feel
that
it's
still
best
to
do
the
reorganization
of
the
various
departments
now
going
then
come
up
with
in
short-term
and
long-term
plan,
as
you
alluded
to
in
your
email,
yeah.
B
I,
don't
I
don't
see
a
particular
overlap
between
the
communities,
the
reorganization
plan,
that's
proposed
for
the
community
services
department
and
the
pending
vacancy
in
the
community
development
department.
If
that's
the,
if
that's
a
specific
question,
what
I
would
suggest
is
that
the
way
that
reorganization
is
structured
in
the
budget
is
provides
a
financial
plan
and
a
proposed
means
of
addressing
both
organizational
and
operational
needs
and
issues.
I.
B
Additional
information
or
consideration
for
the
City
Council
that
I
would
encourage
you
to
approve
the
budget
tonight,
as
it
is
subject
to
your
further
further
interest
in
understanding
how
the
reorganization
plan
would
be
would
be
implemented.
I
guess
what
I'm
saying
is
that
I
don't
see
a
particular
need
to
defer
action,
and
if
the
council
is
interested,
we
can
certainly
bring
back
further
discussion.
E
B
Are
two
resolutions,
one
on
the
budget
and
one
separately
on
me
gann
appropriation
on
the
budget
resolution.
I
would
just
call
your
attention
to
the
fact
that
they're,
a
great
deal
of
detail
articulated
in
the
resolution
that
go
through
each
of
the
enterprise
funds,
special
revenue
funds,
as
well
as
the
general,
as
well
as
the
general
fund.
So
that's
all
combined
into
one
resolution
in.
