APPROVED CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION MAY 8, 2002 <br />City Administrator Waite Smith stated she has told Centennial Utilities that the City <br />needs the revenue of approximately $50,000 per year because it is built into the budget. <br />Acting Mayor Reinert stated that part of the problem is there is no franchise fee for <br />Reliant Energy and Centennial Utilities feels that is unfair. <br />Councilmember O'Donnell stated he would like to meet with Centennial Utilities and ask <br />them why they signed the agreement in the first place. <br />Councilmember Carlson stated she would like information relating to what they paid the <br />City versus what they should have paid last year according to the agreement. <br />Finance Director Rolek stated Centennial Utilities would have to figure that out based on <br />their sales revenue from last year. <br />City Administrator Waite Smith advised she will try to schedule a meeting with <br />Centennial Utilities for either the June 5 Council work session or a work session in July. <br />FIVE-YEAR FINANCIAL PLAN, 2002 - 2006, AL ROLEK <br />City Administrator Waite Smith advised the Council does have the option of continuing <br />the public hearing for the Five Year Plan for more review time. <br />Finance Director Rolek distributed and reviewed the revision that should be included in <br />the draft Five Year Plan. He noted some of the adjustments were made due to the Park <br />referendum not passing. The Five Year Plan is now shown as a balanced budget plan <br />with the estimated expenditures being equal to the estimated revenue. <br />Councilmember Carlson suggested that an explanation be incorporated into the Plan <br />regarding the tax capacity rate in the years to come. <br />Finance Director Rolek noted that the document will change over time and it will be <br />revised every year. <br />Acting Mayor Reinert stated his thoughts on the Plan are that if you had a City that did <br />not grow at all you would not need to increase the budget except for the increases in <br />inflation and cost of living. This Plan shows almost a 50% increase in spending. He <br />stated he then looked at the 147 homes that will be built per year and calculated the <br />increases and a 50% increase in spending is still too much. <br />Finance Director Rolek stated staff took a historical view regarding the City and <br />spending. The City can sustain 200 new homes per year for the next few years. Growth <br />in the tax base was 11% to 14% in past years. Staff used a 10% figure to calculate <br />spending within the Five Year Plan. <br />• <br />
