<br />outs. I would not recommend we look at implementing that option until around April 1st <br />to give us time to see how the current position works out. <br />• We budgeted for a 14% increase in health insurance hoping that would be high. We just <br />received our renewal notice and are looking at a 14.3% increase before applying any age <br />adjustments to the schedule. We will evaluate our employee contribution to these costs <br />to see if adjustments are warranted. <br />• We have maintained staffing in Parks & Recreation at a higher level than 2016. <br />Reducing to 2016 levels would address the deficit. One concern is the added duties taken <br />on by the Parks & Recreation/Community Services Manager. Social media takes about <br />five hours a week. He is also heavily involved in the website upgrade process that will <br />go into April of next year. When you add in the Parks & Recreation Master Plan <br />process, demands on his time are pretty heavy. <br />• We are projecting a surplus of $114,000 (after allowing for the transfer this year). Those <br />one-time dollars could be used to buy more time on other options for revenue increases or <br />expense reductions. <br />• If the 6.95% levy increase remains in play, that could fund the deficit. <br /> <br />Staff will continue to evaluate options but wanted to provide you with this update and receive <br />any feedback you may have.
