CLARIFICATION OF ITEMS ON THE CONSENT CALENDAR. Council Member Rosansky noted that there was language change to Item 5 (Public Right -of -Way Ordinance). City Manager Bludau reported that the change was placed before Council. 2. BUDGET — DEPARTMENT PRESENTATIONS. City Manager Bludau stated that this is the third budget review. He reported that the first study session occurred the day the deal was announced between the League of California Cities and Governor Schwarzenegger regarding shifting Educational Revenue Augmentation Funds (ERAF). He utilized a PowerPoint presentation, stating that the budget is developed over several months amidst changing dynamics. He noted that it is difficult to predict all the scenarios. He indicated that, as presented, the preliminary budget is based on conservative, yet realistic revenue estimates, which is a practice that has served the City well. He added that this budget is actually less conservative than in the past few years. He stated that the budget is also based on a status quo expenditure plan with few program changes. He reported that they always hold back funds for Council to use at their discretion to enhance programs, fulfill funding requests, and add capital improvement projects. He stated that these funds are included in the final budget via the budget checklist. City Manager Bludau indicated that, throughout the budget process, they assumed that the State would take an additional $1.3 million from the City. However, they have been informed that the State is increasing the amount they will be taking from local governments through a shift of property tax, sales tax, and the Vehicle License Fee (VLF), which increases the City's loss to $2.1 million. He reported that this leaves the City with a budget shortfall of $761,000. He indicated that a way to deal with this was to utilize some of the Council's $675,000 discretionary fund. City Manager Bludau reported that, based on updated information regarding property taxes, they believe they can increase the revenue estimate by $300,000 which is a 2.12% increase over fiscal year 2003 -2004. He indicated that this increase exceeds past practices but does not appear to be unreasonable. Administrative Services Director Danner reported that when the Governor's budget was put out in December or January they were not sure where the loss was going to come from, so they took it all from property tax ($1,351,000). He stated that, when that number is added to Volume 56 - Page 958 INDEX (100 -2004) City of Newport Beach Study Session Minutes June 8, 2004 INDEX what the property tax will be this current year and the $300,000 they think they can increase the estimate by, it is actually a 5.82% increase over the current year. Mayor Pro Tern Adams asked what the increase was in secured property tax last year over the previous fiscal year. Mr. Danner believed it was about 8 %. City Manager Bludau reported that this changes the shortfall figures and decreases the Council's discretionary fund to $213,430. He noted that the City has already received funding requests from community groups in the amount of $140,000, City Manager Bludau reported that other options to get more money include using the reserves, reviewing capital improvement projects to identify general fund funded projects that could be delayed, or implementing a reduction in department maintenance and operation (M &0) accounts. Assistant City Manager Kiff referenced the Budget Detail and stated that there are no changes in staffing in the City Manager's Department. He indicated that the 8080 account (professional and technical services) includes a number of special projects that are difficult to predict, like the G -1 environmental document, Marinapark relocation impact report, and appraisals of income properties. He stated that the 80804 account (fuel modifications) will reimburse the Newport Coast sub - associations for fuel modifications. Mr. Kiff stated that there are no changes to the Public Information Officer budget. He noted that the Code and Water Quality Enforcement Division was moved into the City Manager's Department last year and there are no changes to the division this year. He stated that the subdivisions in Harbor Resources consist of Parking Operations, Balboa Yacht Basin, and General Operations that reviews harbor permits, administers permits, conducts inspections, and checks plans for new docks. He indicated that there are no significant changes to the Harbor Resources budget. He noted that there is a proposed parking lot fee increase on tonight's agenda. He stated that there are also no changes on the expenditure side. City Manager Bludau reported that the Balboa Business Improvement District has recommended to Council that the Balboa Pier parking lot fee not be increased. Mr. Kiff added that this increase is not assumed in the budget. Regarding the 8080 account, he explained that there is a significant increase from the prior year's budget because the TetraTech consultant was moved from the City Manager's budget to the Harbor Resources budget. He noted that there is also money available to pay Harbor Patrol to administer all the moorings. Human Resources Director Axley stated that their budget includes the Risk Management and Personnel Divisions. She reported that the only personnel change is that they transferred a Human Resource Specialist from Personnel to Risk Management since benefits are now functioning under Risk Management. She utilized a PowerPoint presentation, noting that the workers compensation claims administration fees and reserves are not in the Risk Management budget, but are in the Insurance Reserve Fund. She reported that the only increase is for $8,000 in the 8080 account due to COBRA administrative fees and Section 125 flex benefits. She stated that the majority of their expenses support employee hiring functions and explained that the 80 recruitments they do a year are mostly for temporary summer help along with replacement hires, but no new positions. She added that the rest of the expenditures are mostly for training Volume 56 - Page 959 City of Newport Beach Study Session Minutes June 8, 2004 INDEX and tuition reimbursement. City Manager Bludau noted that the only new hire next fiscal year is in the Utilities Department for the reservoir cover maintenance person. City Attorney Burnham reported that there is really no change in the proposed City Attorney Department budget except for the retirement of the City Attorney which will occur in August 2004. He indicated that there is a budget item for replacement of the office furniture since it is about 26 years old. Mayor Ridgeway asked if the budget takes into consideration the hiring of a new City Attorney. Mr. Burnham indicated that the budget has a position for a City Attorney. Mr. Bludau added that the budget also includes money if the City wanted to hire Mr. Burnham under contract. Mr. Danner utilized a PowerPoint presentation and read the mission statement for the Administrative Services Department. He reported that the proposed increase from the amended current year budget to the proposed budget for the new year is about $600,000, adding that they are not proposing any new fulltime employees. He noted that they are proposing an additional .26 fulltime equivalent (FTE) employee for temporary help in the Revenue Division, but that only equals about $1,200 a year. He reported that the department consists of five divisions and utilized slides to highlight each of their functions, the number of employees, and their budgets. He clarified that the $600,000 increase is due to the PERS employer increase ($160,000), the PC replacement and software license program ($250,000), the cost to cover the salary of the Contract Administrator for the entire year ($44,000), the part -time staff ($1,200), outsourcing the printing ($98,000), and the rest is distributed throughout the budget. He noted that the Fiscal Services Division began a program this fiscal year in which they take on the responsibility of maintaining copiers on a Citywide basis (account 8031) since they found this to be a big cost savings. Regarding MIS, Mr. Danner stated that account 8030 (maintenance and repair — equipment) is the division's largest expenditure and is for the lease of the City's hardware and software. Further, account 8112 (utilities — telephone) represents charges for the entire City, not just the department's. He noted that account 9005 (PC replacement program) and account 9006 (software licenses) are the programs he mentioned previously and reported that the money will eventually be distributed Citywide. Regarding Revenue Division account 8080, he stated that about $100,000 represents the bill outsourcing program that began this year. Mr. Danner displayed a slide of the City's debt services, excluding assessment districts. Mayor Pro Tern Adams asked if the City has looked at any debt restructuring. Mr. Danner indicated that they continually analyze this and the interest rate is about 5 %. He concluded by showing slides of the significant revenues that the department bills for; the amount of property tax, sales tax, transient occupancy tax, and business license tax the department is responsible for; and the major charges and fines the City levies and collects. Mr. Bludau believed that the debt service slide is significant since the outstanding debt is $35 million, but $15 million is for Newport Coast. He indicated that this information would be good to share with them since they sometimes feel that the City is not spending very much money on them. Mayor Ridgeway suggested having Mr. Danner share this with Council Member Heffernan. Volume 56 - Page 960 City of Newport Beach Study Session Minutes June 8, 2004 INDEX Chief McDonell utilized a PowerPoint presentation to show that the Police Department's proposed budget is $34.7 million compared to $32.7 million for fiscal year 2003 -2004. He displayed a pie chart to show that over 85% of their budget goes toward personnel related costs, and only .4% is for capital outlay. He stated that the budget had an overall 6.2% change, noting that salaries and benefits accounted for 96.5% of that increase due to MOU increases, PERS rate increases, and other personnel related increases. He explained that the PERS safety rate went from 17.6% to 26.1 %; and the PERS miscellaneous rate went from 0% to 4.3 %. Further, there is an additional 5% cost increase due to salary step increases. He stated that the $251,000 increase in the M &O represents 12.5% of their total budget increase. He reported that there are areas in the building that have never been remodeled in over 30 years, the City Manager approved some new supplemental equipment, the vehicle fuel cost has increased, the ABLE cost increased by $50,000 due to fuel increases and normal swings in maintenance since they are out of warranty, vehicle replacement costs increased by $28,000, and there are ongoing contract increases. He added that there is a $182,000 decrease due to the mobile video project which will be on the next agenda for an award of bid. Chief McDonell displayed slides of the budget and personnel by division. He reported that there are 237 full-time employees, of which, 37% are non -sworn personnel. He noted that there are no new positions or programs. He also utilized slides to show each division's organizational chart and lists each of their responsibilities. In response to Mayor Pro Tem Adams' questions about the alarm monitoring program, Chief McDonell reported that they went live about a month ago. He stated that they have about 6,500 alarm accounts; however, they only have about 400 homes directly monitored by them. He stated that they only had a small amount of directly- monitored homes because they really didn't encourage it since they didn't have the equipment that they do now. He confirmed that, if the house is not directly monitored, the Police Department receives a call from a central station. Chief McDonell reported that the total estimated revenue is about $4.9 million and displayed a list of the significant revenue sources. He noted that the Orange County Public Safety Augmentation revenue is shared with the Fire Department. He reported that they will receive over $219,000 in grants next fiscal year through a variety of State and Federal sources. He displayed a list of the grants. In response to Mayor Ridgeway's questions regarding PERS, Mr. Danner stated that they are anticipating PERS safety rates to go up in fiscal year 2005 -2006 another 4% or 5 %. He indicated that PERS is finally seeing some decent rates of return and exceeding what they are estimating. He reported that, at their April board meeting, PERS lowered their target for the rate of inflation, salary increases, and the investment rate of return. He stated that they hope to see the PERS rates level out by fiscal year 2005.2006.or fiscal year 2006 -2007. Fire Department Support Services Manager Ulaszewski reported that Fire Chief Riley is in Lviv, Ukraine this week as the ambassador for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the United States Fire Chief Volume 56 - Page 961 City of Newport Beach Study Session Minutes i June 8, 2004 INDEX Association. City Manager Bludau noted that the trip was not budgeted, but is being paid for by FEMA. Mr. Ulaszewski utilized a PowerPoint presentation and displayed the Fire Department's mission statement. He reported that their budget will be $25.7 million which is a 6.8% increase. He noted that the budget is generally flat with the exception of the $1.6 million increase due to MOU and PERS adjustments; the $54,000 increase in the M &O due to adjustments in contracts; and a $40,000 decrease due to increasing the budget a year ago to buy the 12 lead cardio monitors. He displayed the divisional budget detail, reporting that they have 136 sworn positions, 12 miscellaneous positions, and 30.28 full -time equivalent positions which are mostly seasonal lifeguards. He stated that 85% of their budget goes toward salaries and benefits, 13% is for M &O, and less than 1% is for capital outlay. He displayed a list of the revenue sources, noting that the Junior Lifeguard Program fees are used entirely for the program. Mr. Ulaszewski displayed a list of their significant program issues and reported that 62% of personnel have less than three years experience in their current positions and there are major changes with the management team. He stated that they had major upgrades in their Emergency Medical Services (EMS) program, including initiating a Countywide multi - casualty incident plan to improve coordination and response; implementing the 12 lead cardiac monitoring program to do diagnostic work in the field so Hoag Hospital could make decisions about patient care before the patient arrives at the hospital; starting the Aculert Medical History Program; adding larger ambulances so necessary medical procedures can be performed enroute; and having five paramedics this year and three next year going through the training program. Mr. Ulaszewski reported that there is continued emphasis for emergency disaster preparedness and this is still one of the top goals of their management team. He noted that they received $94,000 in grants which paid for weapons of mass destruction response kits, two more thermal imagers, a safety ladder training program, the CERT program, and the disaster preparedness program. In response to Mayor Pro Tem Adams' question, Mr. Ulaszewski's noted that they will not be adding any new positions or monies into new programs. Building Director Elbettar reported that the Building Department budget does not contain any new programs, but there are pay adjustments and PERS adjustments. He displayed a breakdown by division of their $3 million budget and highlighted the number of employees in each division. He utilized a table to show their revenue sources since fiscal year 2001 -2002, noting that they estimate their revenue total for this year to be about $4.2 million and $3.6 million next year. He stated that about 80% of the construction activity is residential construction due to the increased activity in Santa Ana Heights. He highlighted the March 2004 Revenue Report, noting that the number of inspections has increased from 37,000 to 39,000 due to heavier activity. He displayed the March 2004 Construction Activity Report and pointed out the increase in the number of total valuations, number of permits issued, and number of plans submitted. Regarding the construction valuation, Mr. Elbettar displayed a bar chart and reported that they have been averaging $200 million for the last seven years. He noted that the drop was due to September 11. He stated that the 8080 account reflects the two new positions and is also used for Volume 56 - Page 962 City of Newport Beach Study Session Minutes June 8, 2004 INDEX outside consultants. He reported that they would like to explore ways to provide cashier services at the permit counter for permits, plan checks, and fee collections; combine the issuance of building, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical permits into one combination permit which will save on paperwork; and increase counter plan review and permit issuance services once both positions are filled. Planning Director Temple utilized a PowerPoint presentation, reporting that the Planning Department's budget is about $800,000 less than last year's budget due to budgeting for the entire General Plan Update process the prior budget year. She stated that there are three divisions in the Planning Department and highlighted their functions, budgets, and staffing. She noted that no positions have been added; however, they reclassified one Associate Planner to a Senior Planner and one Assistant Planner to a GIS Analyst. She stated that the Planning and Building Departments' activity and workload levels are attached to each other, reporting that they have had an unusual amount of large discretionary cases this year (St. Andrew's Church, Marinapark, and St. Mark's Church) and indicated that they do not see this trend stopping next year. She added that plan checks have increased 20 %, which was 20% more than the year before. She noted that Council allowed them to hire two people two years ago because of the increase. Ms. Temple reported that they have also seen increased numbers of appeals and calls for review, and increased code amendments. She displayed a slide which discusses their revenue and pointed out that they have met and exceeded the revenue projections that were given to Council when they increased their fee schedule. She noted their significant special projects and reported that they included $100,000 in the M &O budget for professional services to help support the certification of the LCP. Further, they still have $35,000 in this year's budget to put out two Citywide newsletters about the General Plan Update, and the $140,000 in the Economic Development budget represents the City's matching funds for the business improvement districts. In response to Council Member Rosansky's question, Ms. Temple explained that the salary increase from $1.4 million to $1.6 million is due to reclassifications, salary range restructuring of the Senior Planner position, and PERS increases. General Services Director Niederhaus introduced Deputy General Services Director Pisani who put together their budget. He reported that General Services is the third largest department in the City. He utilized a PowerPoint presentation and displayed their allocation plan for the past three years. He noted that there is a steady increase in all the areas except capital outlay. He reported that, after five years, they were able to shift the capital improvement program (CIP) monies to M &O so these functions are now paid for with general fund money. He noted that they manage the internal service fund for equipment maintenance and replacement. He displayed a breakdown of the budget and the budget increases by division, and highlighted the increases due to Newport Coast. Mr. Niederhaus discussed the revenue estimates and grants slide, clarifying that the supplemental tree trimming amount should he much higher than $1,000. Regarding the significant expenditures slide, he reported that it is no longer free to dump the recycled concrete at the Ewles Materials facility. He noted that the large expenditure in the Refuse Division is the fee the City pays to CRT; however, half the amount is recoverable due to the recycling surcharge. He reported that the price of diesel has escalated 80% since Volume 56 - Page 963 City of Newport Beach Study Session Minutes June 8, 2004 INDEX last summer and the price of gasoline is up 60% since the first of the year. He clarified that there are 11 additional vehicles not 10, as shown in the internal service fund slide. He reported that the General Motors - sponsored lifeguard trucks have been replaced to meet the new service demands, there was money set aside to replace the electric vehicles, and the additional vehicle is for an Oasis Senior Center bus that will be brought to Council for consideration. Council Member Webb noted that storm drain cleaning is being contracted out and asked if this leaves General Services with extra vactor trucks that could be shared with or turned over to the Utilities Department to help them with their cleaning programs. Mr. Niederhaus indicated that they already share vactors with Utilities. Mr. Niederhaus referenced the vehicle and equipment purchases slide, reporting that they are proposing to replace 59 vehicles next year versus 26 vehicles this year. He noted that some of the vehicles are electric vehicles that are going out of service and will be replaced with a gasoline model. He explained that the electric vehicles are being recalled by Toyota, but reported that they have been very cost effective since electricity is cheaper than gas. He noted that the program has been fully funded with Air Quality Management District (AQMD) grant money. He pointed out that there are no grant monies for hybrid vehicles. Mr. Niederhaus reported that they are not buying or have bought any heavy duty diesel vehicles for two years. He reported that the AQMD regulations for public and private fleets, street sweepers, and trash vehicles were challenged by the engine manufacturers and the private trash haulers. The decision by the Supreme Court about 45 days ago exempted private fleets, but kept public fleets under Rules 1186, 1193, and 1196 which state that public entities could not buy any diesel vehicles weighing over 14,500 pounds. He stated that, if the District Courts do not allow relief from this, it would cost the City $2 million, not counting the expense to have a natural gas fueling facility ($500,000 to $700,000). He reported that the City bought extra diesel several years ago and the budget includes replacing the bodies on sweepers and trash vehicles to keep the diesel chassis running until the Supreme Court or one of the legal entities finds them exempt. He stated that, once they are exempt, they intend to come back to Council to ask to purchase the deferred diesel vehicles. Mr. Niederhaus reported that the California Air Resources Board (CARS) detected what public entities were doing, i.e. rebuilding the diesel equipment, and are requiring them to retrofit all old diesel vehicles with $5,000 to $10,000 particulate filters and maintain them every six months. He noted that the City does not have any smoking vehicles and that, every time there is preventative maintenance, they put a meter on the exhaust pipe by State law to ensure that the vehicles burn clean. In response to Council Member Nichols' question, Mr. Niederhaus explained how the particulate filters work. Library Services Director Katsouleas reported that their budget for this year is $4,901,440 which is only $2,601 more than last year. She utilized a PowerPoint presentation to highlight the seven divisions in Library Services. She noted that most of the expenses are in Administration since it covers all of the system services for the four branches and the Central Library which services about 85,000 patrons a week and is open 71 hours. She displayed the personnel slide and clarified that they have not added an employee. She explained that the Volume 56 - Page 964 City of Newport Beach Study Session Minutes June 8, 2004 INDEX people who left the library were at Step 8, their replacements are at lower steps, and this ended up saving the department enough money for a part -time position. She indicated that this money will be taken out of their budget. She displayed the library revenue slide and reported that fees for services will decrease because they now send out alert emails to notify people when their books are going to be overdue. She noted that they are being very conservative regarding intergovernmental reimbursements because, last year, the State initially cut out public library funding and reimbursement for non - resident users, but put it back in after the budget was passed. Regarding miscellaneous revenues, she stated that they are not doing as many facility rentals. Regarding the expenditures slide, Ms. Katsouleas noted that their primary expenditure is for materials and reported that the donations they receive from the Friends of the Library is mostly used for library materials. She reported that utility costs are high because the four branches are open 236 hours a week. She stated that equipment and computer maintenance seems high for a department of their size, but the public expects to be able to utilize computers and staff needs them in order to assist the public. Ms. Katsouleas reported that their goal is to focus on providing better access and services to their customers by using internal staff to improve website access and procedures to make customers more comfortable with their services. Additionally, their goal is to consolidate the collections and services at Mariners Library with the school. Ms. Katsouleas reported that City grants go back to community organizations, the Sister Cities' funding is used to support their cultural activities on an international level, and the money for special department supplies are used to preserve the City's art. In response to Council Member Webb's questions about the new Mariners Library which will open in August /September 2005, Ms. Katsouleas reported that over the year they have been gradually purchasing materials at the Mariners Library and deselecting old and outdated material. She stated that they expect no major outlay before the consolidation of the two collections. She indicated that, if they have special needs, the Friends of the Library have agreed to help them. She added that they have set aside the Ackerman Interest to pay for computers. She stated that the rest will hopefully be absorbed through fundraising they will be doing over the next year. In response to Council Member Nichols's questions, Ms. Katsouleas reported that there are about 80,000 visitors to the Central Library, 6,000 to the Balboa Library, 4,000 to the Corona del Mar Library, and about 20,000 to the Mariners Library. She indicated that the smaller branches tend to cost more because they require the staffing for the hours they're open, use of the facility, etc. She indicated that the Corona del Mar Library is an older branch that has had less renovation and tends to be a little bit more expensive in terms of infrastructure and maintenance. Regarding what branch costs more than another, she stated that the size of the branch, hours of operation, use of the collection, and type of collection have to be taken into consideration. Volume 56 - Page 965 City of Newport Beach Study Session Minutes t June 8, 2004 INDEX Recreation and Senior Services Director Knight reported that their budget is just over $3.5 million which is an 8% increase over last year. She noted that 40% of that increase represents salaries and increases in pay, 31% is to transition a transportation program at the Oasis Senior Center, and the rest covers increased programs and services which are offset by increased revenues. She reported that salaries make up 55% of the total budget. She noted that $1.3 million of the $1.7 million M &O is in the 8080 account. She stated that half of that amount covers the contract classes, instructors, and officials, and the other half covers building maintenance for all of the City's park facilities. She noted that the budget has 20 full -time employees but they are proposing adding two more employees. Ms. Knight displayed an organizational chart of the three divisions and their responsibilities. She reported that the City has the largest adult sports league and one of the largest contract class programs in the County. She reported that a majority of their revenue comes from fee based classes. She noted that they try to recover 85% of the cost for all special activities, but some fees are only at a 50% cost recovery. Regarding the Park Patrol program, she stated that the expenses if it was a full year was projected to be $49,000, but noted that the three fees used for the program total $53,000. Regarding the Oasis Senior Center, Ms. Knight reported that they provided 13,000 transportation trips, served 19,000 congregate and home delivered meals, and had over 67,000 seniors participate in classes last year. She stated that their estimated revenue is about $95,000, emphasizing that a majority of what they offer is free. She displayed a slide of additional funding sources that total $429,000 which brings the services at Oasis to about a $1.2 million operation. Council Member Webb stated that he believed that the Friends of Oasis provided more support than $85,000. Ms. Knight stated that their expenses were about $350,000; however, a great deal of that is administrative overhead. Further, some of that is expenses to raise money. She reported that they conducted an audit and if you look at what was considered a donation or program support to Oasis, it was $85,000 and about $70,000 paid for two transportation drivers. Council Member Webb believed that the Friends have a very large base that could contribute more toward the operation, but are presently electing not to. In response to Council Member Nichols's questions, Ms. Knight reported that the City's funding for transportation is about $140,000, but there is additional transportation funding from Hoag Hospital ($86,000), the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) ($76,000), and the Friends of Oasis ($70,000). Ms. Knight indicated that the significant budget change is not to increase the transportation program at Oasis, but consolidate it. She reported that currently there are four vans and drivers that service Oasis. She indicated that one van and driver is a contract service through Western Transit, using OCTA funds. She stated that the City owns the other three vehicles; however, the City only employs one of the three drivers while the Friends employ the other two drivers. She reported that they are proposing to consolidate the service under the City's control because there is liability and risk with having non - employees drive City - owned vans, and there are employees doing the same job at the same facility but operating under different employment rules and benefits. She recommended that the City relinquish the contract service and use those funds to employ the Volume 56 - Page 966 City of Newport Beach Study Session Minutes June S, 2004 INDEX two drivers. She emphasized that this is not an increase in funding or cost to the City, but gives the City control of the program to be more efficient. She stated that they will study this over the next months and, if they see a need to increase services, they will discuss this with the Friends who have shown an interest in potentially funding additional services. Ms. Knight explained that the only reason Hoag was going through the Friends to employ the drivers was because the City did not have the ability to accept the donation, but it does now. Ms. Knight concluded by highlighting the slide listing their goals. City Manager Bludau stated that supplemental budget items should be provided tonight at the public hearing. He asked if Council was satisfied with the presentation format. Mayor Ridgeway indicated that he likes the budget presentation format, but does not like the small print of some of the PowerPoint slides. Council Member Webb stated that what the Finance Committee indicated they wanted to see was essentially what staff presented. PUBLIC COMMENTS - None.
