Council/Staff Priorities <br />23 Mr. Karlson noted that he prepared an organizational assessment in 2011 and the Police <br />24 Chief recently completed an assessment specific to that department. Those assessments <br />25 provided good information and led the way to ending certain redundancies and gaining <br />26 more efficiency in the city work force, without dramatically impacting city service levels. <br />27 Overall, and including the recently approved reduction within the Police Department, the <br />28 reductions total 13.75 Full Time Equivalent positions. Mr. Karlson noted that it will be <br />29 increasingly difficult to maintain the same level of services with the reduction of <br />30 additional personnel. Mr. Karlson noted that staff is seeking direction from the council in <br />31 light of that consideration as well as other items that could impact the 2013 budget. <br />32 <br />33 4. 2013 Budget Impacts <br />34 • Taxable Market Value (7% reduction for Payable 2013) <br />35 • Recreation Complex (5300,000) <br />36 • Street Reconstruction ($50,000 Incr.) <br />37 • Capital Equipment Replacement ($75,000 Incr.) <br />38 • Wage Increases @ 2% ($106,500) <br />39 • Centennial Utilities' Franchise (23,000) <br />40 • ECFE Space (560,000) <br />41 • Anoka Co.
