1987 LONG TERM FINANCIAL PLAN The 1987 Long Term Financial Plan prepared in compliance with Section 7.05 of the home Rule Charter for the City of�Mounds View fr, is designed to provide a 5 year plan to meet the service level and capital improvement needs of the City. The plan is comprised of four elements evaluating the public service, capital improvement and long term revenue needs of the community and a capital improvement budget summarizing the capital improvement revenue requirements for. the City over the 5 year period. I. PUBLIC SERVICE PROGRAM The Public Service Program, as outlined by Section 7.05, Subdivision 2 of. the Home Charter, is to be: "...a continuing five-year plan for all public services estimating future needs for the public health, safety, and welfare of the City. It shall measure the needs and objectives for each City Department, the standard of services described, and the impact of such service on the annual operating budget." Included in the 1987 Public Service Program are organizational charts showing the present and where appropriate, future organization and staffing of each of the City's departments. Also attached is Appendix A showing the present organization of the City down to the departmental levels. The following is a review of each individual department, an outline of its basic objectives and a determination of what effect the needs of each individual department will have on the City's annual budget. A. Administration - The administration portion of the Public Service Program encompasses a wide variety of activities which will be addressed individually. These individual areas of activity are City Council, Advisory Commissions, Elections, City Hall, Legal, Fire, and Clerk -Administra- tor's office. 1) City Council - The City Council is comprised of five elected officials; Mayor and four Councilmembers, serving non-consecutive Lerms who, as a body, are responsible for the administration of the City. Basically, the objectives of the City Council are identical to those of the City's Departments, as the Council sets the policies which determine each department's objectives. It is anticipated that the level of service provided by the City Council, as it relates to being a division of the Administration section of this report, will not be changed and any increased impact on the City's budget will only result from inflationary factors, compensation increases, or increases in fees, dues, or other expenses contained within the CiLy Council budget.
