1. FY 2016-17 Proposed Budget (Richard Lee, Finance Director)
Finance Director Lee introduced changes to the proposed budget since the May 2, 2016 Budget
Standing Committee Meeting. He discussed projects for inclusion in the proposed budget for the
upcoming fiscal year. Committee members queried staff regarding specific sections of the
proposal. Specifically, the following areas were addressed: 1) Parks staff; 2) Changes to the
Master Fee Schedule relevant to parking meter rates; 3) Parks and Recreation fees; 4) The
proposed Social Media Coordinator Position; 5) The City Clerk Department request for$7,000
for WebQA Maintenance; 6) The Human Resources Clerk Position; and 7) The proposed City
Hall Information Kiosk.
Staff addressed the various inquiries as follows:
Instead of adding Park Rangers for security, staff proposed adding functional staff that would put
more eyes on the park as an option. Accordingly, one (1) full-time Parks Maintenance Worker
and a full-time Supervisor would be utilized. Regarding parking meters, staff explained the City
was in the process of reviewing the findings of the parking meter study. Relevant to Parks and
Recreation Fees, Director Ranals advised fees are typically raised when employees receive a cost
of living increase. Staff looks at what other cities are charging and what the market will bare
when making rate increase proposals. Regarding the Social Media Coordinator Position, staff
expressed the need for this position due to the demand social media has created. The position is
on par with the Administrative Assistant I position. City Clerk Department staff advised that
yearly maintenance for the automated public records act tracking system, WebQA was $7,000.
HR staff advised the Clerk was needed because staff was currently splitting the time between two
(2) hourly clerks to perform the needed functions. Finally, Committee members opposed the
welcome kiosk on the first floor of City Hall and suggested it might be better placed at the
Library.
