ROLL CALL Council / Commission members present: Morrison, Sotelo-Solis, Van Deventer, Zarate. Administrative Officials present: Babaki, Dalla, Deese, Duong, Gonzales, Hodges, Ladrido, Parra, Raulston, Silva, Smith, Stevenson, Williams, Zapata. Others present: City Treasurer Mitch Beauchamp. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG BY MAYOR RON MORRISON LABOR RELATIONS EXEC / MID MGMT EMPLOYEES (605-2-1) 1. Compensation Plan for the Management and Executive Group. (City Manager) City Manager Chris Zapata made the following comments to the City Council. "In these challenging fiscal times as we try to make our service levels meet the expectations of our citizens, as we try to work through a budget challenge that is unprecedented in 50 years, drastic steps have to be taken. Last year when Execs and managers came to the City Council we said that we understand that there is a problem with our finances. We agree that our retirement contributions of which the City pays 8% and the City pays 8% for the employees as well / we voluntarily agreed to participate at a 3% level for Execs and a 2% contribution at the Manager level. We also said, since 2002 Executives and Managers had received zero raises. One raise is what we asked for in a ten year period and you granted that up to six percent. And so we agreed that we would ask for no more salary increases until 2012 along with the 3% and 2% give -back. This year what we are proposing is, given the need to lead by example and also make sure that the citizens no longer pay the employees share of the retirement for Executives and Managers, we are agreeing to; effective July 1, a 3% retirement contribution by Executives and a 2% contribution by Managers. And next year we are agreeing to an additional 2% by Executives and 3% by Managers which puts Executives and Managers at a full 8% which means they are paying their full share of the retirement costs. Book 92 / Page 137 05-25-2010 LABOR RELATIONS EXEC / MID MGMT EMPLOYEES (605-2-1) 1. Compensation Plan for the Management and Executive Group (continued). I think it is important to note that in 2005 zero percent of the employees paid into the retirement program. At this point 89% of the employees pay into retirement. The Managers and Executives will be the first to pay their full share. Fire is excluded from this because they have a five year deal and that deal is coming before us in 2010 so that is not to cast dispersion at them but at the same time a five year deal has resulted in the City not having 100% contribution from all employees and ultimately getting to where we are with Managers and Execs which is 8%." RECOMMENDATION: That the Council adopt or direct staff to prepare the paperwork for the next meeting so that Execs and Managers have additional contributions in the two years coming and that would put them at a full 8%. When fully implemented the annual savings to the City will be $270,000. ACTION: Motion by Morrison, seconded by Sotelo-Solis, in favor and that the City Council join the Executives and Managers and contribute 3% this year and 3% next year toward their retirement which will bring the elected officials to the full 8% contribution. Carried by unanimous vote. BUDGET FY 2010-2011 (206-1-26) 2. Budget Presentation a. Revenue & Expenses Review. (Finance Director) Finance Director Jeanette Ladrido, using a PowerPoint Presentation, provided a quick overview of the 2010-2011 Preliminary Budget including a Revenue and Expenditure Forecast, review of the General Fund Contingency Reserve, the Tax Increment Fund State Takeaways and key dates in the budget process. (See attached Exhibit 'A') b. Introduction. (City Manager) City Manager Zapata reviewed budget history beginning with the deficit in 2004 and leading up to the current deficit situation. City Manager Zapata explained and articulated the financial problem, the City Council, Community and Organizational awareness of that problem and steps taken to address the deficit and develop cost saving ideas for generating revenue and creating efficiency. All of the ideas were grouped into three Tiers. Tier 1 ideas are cost saving ideas recommended by the City Manager; Tier 2 contains ideas that may be worthwhile but require further analysis to determine feasibility and potential savings and Tier 3 are ideas not recommended by the City Manager. City Manager Zapata gave a detailed review of Tiers 1 through 3. Book 92 / Page 138 05-25-2010 BUDGET FY 2010-2011 (206-1-26) 2. Budget Presentation (continued). c. Interactive Public Workshop and Online Survey. (Assistant City Manager) Assistant City Manager Leslie Deese reviewed recent community outreach efforts to determine the public's budget priorities and summarized the results. Ms. Deese also highlighted the efforts and ideas submitted to the CARE committee by Department Directors. d. Citywide Concessions and Accounting Transfers. (City Manager) City Manager Zapata reviewed the staffs draft proposals for Citywide concessions and accounting transfers to deal with the current 6.7 million dollar budget deficit and presented his proposal to balance the FY 2010-11 General Fund Budget and projected budget implications for FY 2011-2012 and 2012-2014. City Manager Zapata emphasized that the proposal for FY 2010-2011 does not include any involuntary layoffs of fulltime employees. PUBLIC COMMENTS None. MAYOR AND COUNCIL Mayor Morrison thanked staff for the tremendous amount of work and effort to put together the information and proposal. He said he believes the proposed plan is not status -quo but a prudent proposal to maintain the highest level of service with the resources available. Mayor Morrison expressed appreciation for the participation and suggestions of all the stake holders, expressed concern about losing the school resource officer, suggested that the schools need to do more and said he supports the Tier 1 proposals. Member Sotelo-Solis thanked staff for the presentation and expressed support for using volunteers where possible and collaborating with community organizations to reduce costs and maintain programs and for determining the impacts of service reductions on part-time employees. Member Sotelo-Solis said she is in favor of using reserve funds as recommended by the City Manager and supports renegotiating the fire contract with Lower -Sweetwater. Member Van Deventer said he was pleased that the City Manager was not proposing layoffs; that we need police on the street and expressed concern about eliminating existing programs. Mr. Van Deventer said he was opposed to parking meters, felt the rollback of fees was bad, code enforcement was important to maintain; that he could support the Tier 1 cost savings ideas but wanted to look more carefully at the Tier 2 proposals. Book 92 / Page 139 05-25-2010 MAYOR AND COUNCIL (cont.) Member Zarate thanked staff for their presentation and the employees for their suggestions.
