BUDGET WORKSHOP
- FY2004/05
The Council met to finalize the
Budget for FY2004/05. Pat Larsen stated
that the budget is still out of balance by $74,000. Department supervisors were able to reduce their departments
another $185,000 out of the $200,000 needed.
Capital projects were reviewed as well as personnel. Pat stated that at the last meeting, the
Building Maintenance Department was going to be contracted out. This department has been placed back in the
budget. Also included in the budget is
a 1.5% cost of living increase. Anniversary
increases will be placed on hold for a year.
Gary Sonntag presented the following three options for consideration for
the Building Maintenance Department..
(1) Contract out all building
maintenance and janitorial and retain two full time
employees to handle special projects, such as mechanical and
carpentry/
concrete refinishing.
(2) Retain the existing
department as it is, with the exception of laying one
employee off and
transferring another one to the Parks Department
(3) Reorganize the existing
department, lay off a part time employee, move one
full time employee to the
Parks Dept., change the supervisory position to a
lead man, and place the
whole department under the Public Works Director. Under
this option, the Parks
Department would be responsible to maintain City Hall grounds.
The Facilities Specialist
in Building Maintenance would be split between the swimming
pool facility and the rest
of the city buildings.
MOTION. Councilmember Denison moved that option #3
be implemented. Motion seconded by
Councilmember Christman and carried.
