AGENDA REVIEW City Manager Birkelo stated that Staff had tried to put forth what had been per- ceived as unresolved issues and would deal with each individually. He stated that there had been some Council reluc- tance to accept the paramedic transport rates and the business license increase. He stated that Staff had looked at using some money from the Workers Compensation Fund Balance and had determined that it was a healthy account that could be used as a one time assistance to the operating budget. Discussion followed on the budget figures being estimates based upon a March com- puter printout with projections for the rest of the year, rather than having shown actual figures which would show a truer financial picture.

Discussion followed on the reduction of overtime; consultant fees; meetings and conferences, etc. Councilman Drago stated that he would not support raising paramedic fees in the current budget. Discussion followed on a survey made of San Mateo County cities' business license fees: flat fees vs. gross receipt fees. Deputy City Manager/Community Development & Administration Lewis stated that if $80,000 was taken from the Workers Compensation Fund, then an additional $60,000 was needed to balance the budget that could be effected by reducing meetings and travel expenses. Discussion followed on cutting the following costs: overtime; meetings and conferences; and city-wide training. Discussion followed on the Fire Department Staffing Modification: to allow the Fire Chief flexibility in the manning schedule; that the Fire Chief was not recommending the minimum manning in that it would reduce the effectiveness of each of the units when needed; that the majority of Council would not go along with minimum manning. Discussion followed on the $30,000 balance in revenue sharing for nonprofit agencies that would entail public hearings to consider requests for funding.
