4. 1ST PUBLIC HEARING AND ADOPTION OF PROPOSED MILLAGE AND TENTATIVE
FY 2013/2014 BUDGET
A. City Manager Announcement of Proposed Millage of 3.7166 Mills, which is
.62% less than the Rolled-back Rate of 3.7398 and Budget Overview
The City Attorney read Resolution Nos. R-13-20 and R-13-21 by title only.
The City Manager announced that the proposed millage rate of 3.7166 mills, is .62%
lower than the rolled-back rate of 3.7398 mills.
He then gave a brief overview of the proposed budget, noting there would be no Power
Point presentation, that the budget was essentially the same as Council reviewed at its
August workshop. He said there was a $212K surplus at the August workshop and
Council had directed staff to rejuvenate employee benefits and try to end furlough days,
and to negotiate with the two City unions in that manner. He said a tentative agreement
has been reached with PBA and PEA for two three year agreements with year one no
COLA and no merit increase but eliminate furlough days which is a 4.6% increase to the
City, year two a 3% COLA for all employees and year three no change. He said both

unions will meet to vote on the agreements on September 17 and 18, and if approved
the collective bargaining agreements will come back to Council for ratification on
September 25.
He said the tentative budget is changed to reflect those agreements so staff had to come
up with $65K additional dollars which brings the budget up to $10.6M. He said staff
recommends that the additional funds come from the Building Department enterprise
funds which they have "borrowed" from the general fund for the last five years, for a total
of just under$500K. He said staff balanced the budget by financial accounting and
Council will have to pass a resolution that reflects that modification.
The City Manager noted staff has modified the lease amount from the Golf Course Fund
to Airport Fund, all other funds are pretty much as Council saw them, with the exception
of subtle changes in recreational impact fees with a shift of$15K.
He recommended approval of R-13-20 and R-13-21.
