Item # 5.7. of 1-~.ver MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: , Tim Simon, Finance Director DATE: July 1 1, 201 1 SUBJECT: 2012 Budget Discussion Tonight we will continue our budget review with the Public Works, Fire, and Storm Water Management budgets. Attached are the department requested budget worksheets for those departments along with the proposed 2012 department/division goals. At tonight's meeting we will go through the goals and attached budget sheets. If you would like more detail than what's provided, please let me know. Public Works Department (recluestedl: Street Maintenance -The streets department personal services is budgeted 80% in street maintenance and 20% in snow removal budget. This remains the same for the 2012 budget. Regular pay in the street maintenance budget is reduced due to the Street Superintendent's phased retirement; his remaining salary is included in part-time pay for 2012. Phil will review the personal requests that are included on your attached sheet. Overall, the budget remains consistent with last year in that we hope to crack fill 30 miles and seal coat approximately 18 miles. Last year the Council authorized increasing our State aid allotment for maintenance to 25% of our total State-aid allocation and thus being able to increase our sealcoating and preventative maintenance budgets. Operating supplies decreased from last year due to vehicle repair supply costs and updated pricing on our rubberized crack filler material. These decreases have more than offset the $15,000 added under operating supplies for road mastic crack filler that Phil will discuss at the meeting. The sign budget will still include for 2012 the FHWA 2014 requirements for reflectivity. Contractual services are higher than prior year actuals due to the increase MSA allocation and related contracted expense for sealcoating. Snow Removal -The snow removal budget for regular pay has decreased due to the reallocation of the park maintenance employee who spends 10% of the time plowing snow routes. The part-time pay is 20% of the Street Superintendent's time that in prior years was regular pay. Operating supplies are anticipated to increase slightly fox road salt purchases. In addition, a capital outlay request for four to six salt controllers for disbursing salt out of the trucks is added.
