• <br />• <br />Wilk Se-cc vv, <br />Memorandum <br />To: Mayor and Council Members <br />From: Al Rolek, Dan Tesch, Dave Pecchia, Michael Grochala, Rick <br />DeGardner <br />Date: November 20, 2009 <br />Re: 2010 Proposed Budget/levy <br />73 <br />Attached is the proposed budget for 2010 for the City Council's consideration. The budget was <br />updated using the parameters set by the Council in its approval of the preliminary 2010 tax levy <br />in September, and the adjustments necessary to balance the budget for the coming year. <br />Factors to Consider in balancing the 2010 budget: <br />• The preliminary tax rate is calculated at 37.808 %, lower than the 38.616% earlier set by <br />Council and nearly a full percent lower than the 2009 rate of 3 8.732% <br />• The 2010 Proposed Budget to $9,555,132, a reduction of $509,590_from the 2009 <br />adopted budget of $10,064,722 <br />• A total 5.0 FTE employee in positions are eliminated. The positions are in the areas of: <br />Building Inspections <br />Administration <br />Community Development <br />Finance/Utilities <br />Police CSO <br />Streets/Parks <br />1.5 FTE <br />1.O FTE <br />0.5 FTE <br />0.5 FIE <br />0.5 FTE <br />1.O FTE <br />• A zero percent increase in wages is proposed for all city hall and public services <br />employees and directors <br />• An extension of unpaid furloughs of 2 weeks for city hall and public services employees <br />(a 4% wage reduction) and 3 week for directors (a 6% wage reduction) <br />While the original proposal was to renegotiate the terms of the contracts with both police <br />unions to eliminate or reduce the wage adjustments in the contracts and extend furloughs to <br />these groups, neither group to date has agreed to reopen their contracts to date. More <br />meetings are scheduled for next week. <br />
