Mayor & City Council September 10, 1993 Page 7 amount asked for in 1993. The additional costs were included for the Family Violence Network and Roseville Area Senior Program pursuant to their requests. (See Attachments 2, 3 and 4 for details of their respective requests.) 26. GENERAL CONCERN FOR THE GENERAL FUND AS IT RELATES TO SALARIES FOR CITY EMPLOYEES. As you recall from last year, we implemented some revised salary schedules with the understanding that those schedules would be in effect for 1993 and 1994 with no adjustments. However, three positions were frozen for 1993 and we indicated we would evaluate those in 1994. Those positions were the Public Works Superintendent, Public Works Lead, and Building Official. In this budget, I have included a 2 1/2% salary adjustment for those positions. Based on some initial comments received, this amount may not be satisfactory to those employees and they may wish to discuss this with the Council. 27. HEALTH INSURANCE. In discussing health insurance with our agent, he indicated to me that rate increase could be anywhere from 10 -15 %. I have estimated 15% for the purposes of budget. However, due to the cap we had previously placed in effect, the impact to the budget is minimal. Should costs increase by 15 %, employees would see an increase in their monthly contribution from $41 to $83.23 per month. Should rates only increase by 10 %, their cost would increase to $68.38 per month. In our study last year, it was noted that the average contribution on the part of the City towards health insurance coverage was $250. In our case, we are contributing $318. 28. PARRS AND RECREATION SPECIAL FUND 202 (Pages 43 -46) - The main area to point out is on Page 45 relative to the City transfer. This amount is $5,500 for 1994 as associated with the Day Camp costs. This amount is approximately equal to that which was budgeted for 1993. I am proposing it be transferred from the General Fund in order to make coding and revenue receipting more clear. You will also note that the fund appears to generate a small surplus. Keep in mind that we still have a rather limited history upon which to base these estimates, but so far things appears to be working well. 29. BONDED INDEBTEDNESS (Pages 47 -48) - One item I want to point out is that our proposed levy is reducing by a very slight amount for 1994 as compared to 1993. However, a significant opportunity appears to be available relative to the Improvement Bonds of 1978. The refunding of this issue appears to be a Page 1
