City Council Budget Workshop
August 23, 2010

The City Manager asked how Council wished to proceed at this point of the workshop.
Mr. Wolff asked the City Manager to elaborate on his comments about sustainability issues and
the City Manager responded that we need to look at personnel costs in general, that we cannot
expect to continue with furlough days and no increases into the future, though the current
economy lets us get away with it for now and for a couple more years. He said without future
growth we will have to keep a keen eye on where we are in regard to raises, compensation and
public safety employees, though in the short term for FY 2011 -2012 we are okay.
Mayor Gillmor asked Ed Herlihy, Chairman of the Citizens Budget Review Advisory Board if he
wanted to speak.
Mr. Herlihy spoke on behalf of the Board, citing the recommendation for the higher tax rate to
raise the $230,000 needed to get the City's maintenance situation under control. He said a long
term concern is the police retirement situation regulated by FS 185, noting in 2020 the cost to
the City to support it could be over $2M per year and we can't afford it. He said this year the City
will receive just under $4M in property taxes and the pension could be close to half of the City's
tax revenue. He noted the pension is an unfunded mandate from the State and it will take
legislation to change it.
Mr. Herlihy reiterated the Budget Board thought it important to raise the $230,000, then cited a
trip to Virginia with his son who was seeking a home, comparing an 895 square foot house they
looked at with an asking price of $525,000 and annual tax of $5100 with the City's low taxes and
said, though we want to keep taxes low, we have to operate the City. He commended the City
Manager and staff for a great job on the budget.
Mayor Gillmor said he was not a fan of going through the budget line by line but it was up to
Council. He said he had some questions, but most have been answered. Ms. Coy agreed line
by line was not necessary, and said we will have two hearings. Mr. Wright suggested simply
following the agenda, and said he had general comments but would hold until the end of the
agenda under Council Comments item 6.
Mayor Gillmor then called for public comment unless anyone on Council wanted to go line by
line. It was the consensus of Council they did not want to do that.
None.
B. Department Questions (See Proposed Annual Budget Document)
5. PUBLIC COMMENTS
Damien Gilliams, 1623 US 1, said he came prepared to address the agenda as it was
advertised in the paper and on the City website and now Council is changing it, and asked if this
is a new policy of the Mayor or was it the consensus of the board. Mayor Gillmor said it was the
consensus of the Board.
Ms. Coy said she supported it and Mr. Wright said he did not need additional input from
Department heads because their information was in the packet, and the process had his
support. The City Manager said the Department questions item was for questions from Council.

Mr. Gilliams said then as he understands it we are done with the Department heads for the
evening and they can go home.
Mr. Wright explained the item says "Department questions" and it is for questions to the
Department Heads from Council members and Council had no questions so they followed the
agenda and moved on to Public Comment.
Mr. Gilliams said then why don't we put off the whole agenda and stated we don't put it on TV
anymore. He said he knew Council was going to raise taxes, that when property taxes go down
Council looks for a reason to raise the millage rate and asked them to leave it alone and let
people recoup. He said it is because they can't find any place to cut the budget, suggested
contracting out the Planning and Zoning Department, said Council is not getting the job done
and is cutting into reserves, that people are losing jobs and the process is not fair the way they
are doing it. He said he can go through line by line and find cuts, said Council needs to get
creative and find additional revenues like the State and other counties are doing.
6. COUNCIL COMMENTS /DIRECTION
Mayor Gillmor asked if this budget, they are looking at, was put together before the last CIP
Workshop, and the City Manager said it was. Mayor Gillmor said, for the record, on page 142,
under Roads and Special Projects, the City hall parking /landscaping in the amount of $50,000
should not be there. The City Manager said the CIP projects within the budget will be modified
prior to final CIP approval and the budget hearings.
Mayor Gillmor asked for clarification that the money for the dog park is for creation of a new
park within the grounds next to the dog park. The City Manager said the money is slated for
other improvements in and around the dog park area. Mayor Gillmor said there has been
concern we are putting more money into the dog park and is just for people with dogs, and that
is not the case. The City Manager said it could be interpreted that way but was not the case,
and the purpose is to improve the entire Keene Terrace Park with more amenities.
Mr. Wright noted Keene Terrace Park is a seven acre park and the dog park is located only on
one acre and the remainder of the park is not getting enough use.
Mr. Wolff asked what generates building a restroom in a park, whether a formula or was it that
three or four people called. The City Manager said there is no magic formula and in this
circumstance it is based on public input and a request from the Parks and Recreation
Committee.
Mr. Wolff asked if the park is underused, why are we installing a restroom. Mr. Wright said he
meant the other area doesn't get the use it would if we improved it. Mr. Wolff asked if there has
been any communication with the community and people in adjacent homes, noting restrooms
in parks have advantages and disadvantages. The City Manager responded staff will go
through design and location phases, then to Parks and Recreation and Planning and Zoning, if
needed, and then to City Council. Mr. Wolff said we may want to consider keeping the restroom
near the dog park area for public safety.
Ms. Coy asked if there had been any complaints about the dog park from the community, and
the City Manager responded he had one. Ms. Coy noted that people who use the dog park
point out their homes to her when she is there.

City Council Budget Workshop

Mr. Wright asked about the budget for MIS broadcast equipment in relation to broadcasting over
ATT UVerse. He expressed concern about the 3 to 5 year planning for data processing
equipment, noting in economic times we can only rely on one year in a budget. He said we need
to find out what equipment we need to tie into ATT for broadcasts through UVerse, so that
before we make a final decision on computer and broadcast equipment we know their
requirements.
The City Manager said ATT sent a package with ten questions for staff to answer and staff had
submitted answers back to them, and he will provide information to Council prior to the
September 13 budget hearing. Mr. Wright noted ATT is picking up lots of new customers in the
community and we will not be able to reach everyone.
Mr. Wright cited page 160, the current airport budget, asking that since fuel sales recently
changed, why was the proposed budget the same as the 2009 airport budget. The City Manager
responded that Council has not officially transferred the fuel sales yet, therefore we budgeted
for the airport as normal. He said FDOT has requested more information and justification on the
leasing out the fuel sales and Sebastian Aero notified the City today that they do not want to
move forward with that process right now, so fuel sales is on hold.
The City Manager said Sebastian Aero does want to move on the t- hangar proposal which will
come back to Council but should not affect the budget.
Mr. Wright cited page 15, local option gas tax and asked what caused the spike, and the City
Manager responded it was the bond payoff and bond refinancing.
Mr. Wright said the graph in the presentation depicts to him that the Building Department is no
longer an enterprise fund and we should look at a way to re- categorize it because it is a service
we provide and not an enterprise fund. He further said it is always tough to not provide raises to
employees, but we need to be cognizant of the fact that average wages in IRC in private
employment are $30,000 to $35,000 and there are many schools, cities and hospitals, semi
government groups we support with taxes who are making the highest salaries in the County,
higher than private employees and the balance has gotten out of control and needs to be looked
at carefully. He said he does not expect to see a turn around in the next couple of years.
Mr. Wolff said this needs to be qualified because a teacher with a Masters earns about $33,000,
and Ms. Coy responded only if one is lucky enough to get one of the full -time positions. Mr.
Wolff said to say County institutions such as hospitals, school board positions make higher
salaries needs to be qualified.
Mr. Wright said you need to look at average salaries overall, for teachers, County
Commissioners, municipal employees with substantial salaries, that starting salaries have gone
up in the past few years and if we look at police salaries and retirement benefits we have to
have a new reality and look at the ability of people to pay. He said people are having a tough
time and we can't go back to giving out high salaries and benefits, that he doesn't see continued
increases going forward, and that in many areas of the country constant increases are
bankrupting cities.
Mayor Gillmor cited page 152, Golf Course expenditures, and asked about promotions in the
amount of $250 and advertisements in the amount of $5,000. The Golf Course Director
responded promotions was for items such as hats and towels, and shirts for fundraiser give

aways, and $3000 of the advertising was for phone books, and the remainder for 7 or 8 coupon
books, local hotel guides, radio ads, etc. Mayor Gillmor said we are one of the only public golf
courses in Indian River County and it makes sense we would want to advertise to pump up
attendance.
Mr. Wolff asked the Golf Course Director if he had goals or new programs to get to 70,000
rounds, noting that is a challenge in this economy, and stating the Golf Director operates one of
the finest golf courses in the County. The Golf Course Director said rounds will improve if we
have good weather and if the economy improves a little bit, noting people tell him they are
reducing play due to the economy. He said they have partnered with the non profit Indian River
Golf Foundation and other programs to bring in new golfers on a local basis. Mr. Wolff
suggested a live webcam on the course.
Ms. Coy thanked the Citizens Review Advisory Board and all City directors involved in the
budget process. She commented on the Go -Line, that as much as she wanted this service, she
found out that Fellsmere and Sebastian are the only municipalities that provide funding for the
County -wide service, and she was unsure as to why other cities are not paying.
Mayor Gillmor asked the City Manager to display pg 190 of the proposed budget on the
overhead, which shows millage rates have continuously decreased since the 1990s when the
millage was 6.90 mills and now has been at 3.3456 mills for the last three years. He said for
those who say we are raising taxes they should look at this, and said Council is not talking
about increasing the millage.
Ms. Coy said while talking to ATT why not ask them their plans for their ugly building on US 1.
Mr. Wright said the Art Festival group is going to contact them to improve the appearance of the
building, however, Ms. Coy said she was not merely thinking of a sculpture because the building
is just ugly and it would not hurt to get ATT to contribute.
Mr. Wolff questioned the MIS Director about vendor mandated software upgrades and the MIS
Director responded that occasionally vendors require upgrades to their software, though not
frequently, and there is no way around it because they are sole source.
Mr. Wolff asked about the $75,000 for broadcast upgrade and the MIS Director responded that it
is planned for automation for servers and converters for broadcast communication and
programming, and will have a shelf life of approximately five years.
Mr. Wolff asked about the increase in Police Department Detective Division internet services
and Chief Morris responded it is an upgrade of air cards for mobile laptops.
Mr. Wolff cited page 52, and said City Council proposed budget shows an increase, and the City
Manager responded that the proposed FY 11 budget is actually down from the current FY 10
budget, but up $25 from projected for FY 10. Mr. Wolff asked what City Council is doing as a
Board to show unity with fellow City workers who are taking furloughs, and how Council could
overhead and spending. He said he had asked the Finance Director to extrapolate on what
effect a furlough would have on City Council pay and had been told it would amount to one of
Council's paychecks. He asked Council to offer up a paycheck and put it back in the City
coffers, and then offered his most recent paycheck back to the City.

Ms. Coy said that was very nice of Mr. Wolff, but she would have to think about it, noting she
attends several additional committee meetings which costs money and sometimes she has to
lose time at work, as do other members of Council, and asked what meetings Mr. Wolff has
attended other than Council meetings. Mr. Wolff said any meeting he has been asked to attend
he attends. Ms. Coy listed the meetings attends that are mandated. Mr. Wolff said he would
like to see that in writing, and that she was trying to put him on the spot and she could simply
ask the constituents if he was doing his job. Ms. Coy said this has been on her mind for years
and she cannot remember any boards for which he was a primary member. Mr. Wolff said he
did not recall her nominating him for anything.
Mr. Wright asked that they both get back to topic.
Mayor Gillmor said if we want to mirror what is done with City employees, a furlough day would
amount to $15 out of a Council paycheck and if $15 will help the City he would be glad to
donate his $15 back to the City. He said if members all throw in $15, we can buy the chili for the
chili cook -off, which they put in themselves last year.
Ms. Coy said this Council has not had a raise in a long time, and has not been reaping benefits
of 3 or 5% increases and with what she is required to do, she is not throwing in a whole
paycheck. She said it was commendable of Mr. Wolff to offer his paycheck, but she is not
returning her paycheck because the little they receive in compensation barely covers what they
are required to do.
7. Being no further comment, Mayor Gillmor adjourned the Budget Workshop 7 p.m.
Approved at the September 8, 2010 Regular City Council meeting.
