d. Administration/Finance Department. Council asked about the <br />upgrades to the file servers for the phones and computer <br />systems. The Finance Director answered questions about the <br />$13,000 upgrades. He also discussed the need to update the <br />City's Microsoft Office software and answered questions. <br />4. Capital Equipment Certificate. The City Manager and Roger Larson, Finance Director <br />presented information regarding the City's funding gap that exists for the 5 -year <br />Capital Equipment Plan. They reported that recently, the balancing of the capital <br />equipment budget has been to eliminate or defer capital equipment purchases. They <br />explained how these deferrals have caused shortages in the capital equipment budget <br />for each year. As a possible funding source, the Council asked Staff to determine the <br />impact of issuing Capital Equipment Certificates for purchases. Discussion. Council <br />asked if the City had any outstanding Equipment Certificates; the Finance Director <br />answered no, that the last Certificate was paid off in 2008 and was a 5 -year certificate for <br />the Fire Department. The City Manager explained that the Capital Equipment <br />Certificate is a funding tool. Mr. Larson provided information from Ehlers & Associates <br />comparing 5 -year and 10 -year certificates showing the impact on an average City <br />Property. Discussion regarding various ways to pay off the certificates, i.e. profits from <br />the Liquor Operations. <br />5. 2011 General Fund Budget and Levy. The City Manager stated that at the March lar <br />work session, the City Council and Staff discussed the goals to be mindful of during the <br />preparation of the 2011 General Operating Budget. Council wanted to see no increase in <br />the General Operating Levy; and the appropriation of revenues to the General Fund, in <br />particular to cover the costs for Bell Lane Clean-Up, Clearwire Lease and 2009 <br />Budget/ Reserves. Discussion. Since 2009 General Fund saw revenues exceed <br />expenditures, Council asked Staff to review the impact to the City of a 2% salary <br />increase plus a $100 increase in health insurance. Staff came back that the total cost is <br />estimated to be $161,100. The City Manager also stated that Staff continues to apply for <br />Grants as appropriate to offset the cost of operations and capital equipment. He also <br />reported that 2011 is the final year for levy limits. The City Manager also asked the <br />Council to consider using one year contracts again for the bargaining units in 2011. <br />6. Other Business. The City Manager discussed the work session schedule with Council. <br />Because of the need to discuss the replacement of a pumper truck and the rescue truck in <br />2012, the City Manager was asked to schedule a date for that discussion soon. <br />7. Adjourn. <br />The work session adjourned at 8:20pm. <br />Minutes respectfully submitted by Kim Moore - Sykes, Assistant City Manager. <br />Z: \Council Meetings \2010 \Worksession\05032010 \Council Staff worksession 05032010 Minutes.doc <br />
