The Assistant Director of Finance & Administrative Services stated that budget assumptions include maintaining a General Fund contingency of 25% which is approximately $6.3 million, and that it is adjusted annually. He indicated that City goals as previously adopted have been incorporated into the Fiscal Year 2014 -15 Budget, and that everything that is being funded is consistent with the City's goals. He indicated that the ongoing seven -year Capital Improvement Plan includes restricted funding sources along with the City General Fund being a large portion of the funding. The Interim City Manager indicated that the strategy would be to first use restricted funds then additional funding from the City's General Fund when necessary. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 12, 2014 The Assistant Director of Finance & Administrative Services stated that, in light of the economy, the City has made ongoing attempts to contain and limit annual expenditures, however there is still growth in the operating budget beyond the City's control. He stated that the budget proposal is for a one -year budget with considerations for a long- term outlook of future stability. The Assistant Director of Finance & Administrative Services indicated that budget documents distributed to the City Council include the City of Cypress Proposed Annual Budget for Fiscal Year 2014 -2015 and the City of Cypress Preliminary Operating Budget for Fiscal Year 2014 -2015. He indicated that the budget summary would be available on the City's website. The Interim City Manager stated that a draft version of the budget would be available on the City's website this week, with the final version available after its adoption. The Assistant Director of Finance & Administrative Services indicated that the budget total is approximately $45 million, and includes the Cypress Recreation and Park District and the Successor Agency. He stated that the Successor Agency budget is done twice per year in six -month increments and is approved by the Oversight Board, as well as the Successor Agency Board. The Assistant Director of Finance & Administrative Services stated that the City's budget is approximately $39.4 million which is a $950,000 decrease from the prior year due to the Capital Improvement Project budget. He reviewed the budget summary for the past three years and indicated that personnel costs have increased by 4% over the prior year. Mayor Mills asked about staffing levels and increases to benefits. The Assistant Director of Finance & Administrative Services responded that staff levels would remain the same and that four unfilled positions were eliminated. He stated that over 90% of the City's budget is the General Fund. Council Member Bailey asked which positions had been eliminated. The Assistant Director of Finance & Administrative Services replied that positions eliminated include two Maintenance Specialists, one Maintenance Worker, and the Redevelopment/Economic Development Manager. The Interim City Manager stated that the positions have been frozen for two years and that the City has been in the process of reorganizing the Redevelopment Division of Community Development. He indicated that a major cause of the personnel cost increase is due to negotiated salary increases including benefit costs of Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS) and Redevelopment salaries that are now budgeted out of the City General Fund. The Assistant Director of Finance & Administrative Services indicated that revenues are increasing at 2.2% and that the budget is balanced with one -time issues and /or transfers, such as for infrastructure, that could make it appear unbalanced. Mayor Mills commented that project bids were favorable to the City during the recession and asked if that has changed. The Public Works Director responded that bids have not been unusually low. The Assistant Director of Finance & Administrative Services stated that the General Fund Operating Budget has increased by $900,000 up to $25.2 million. He stated that budget impacts include election costs, an increase in park maintenance costs due to water cost increases, a decrease in Successor Agency activities, and WestComm funding due to 800 MHz radios replacement over a four -year period. Mayor Pro Tem Johnson asked for clarification about WestComm funding division between the three cities comprising the Joint Powers Authority. 2 273 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 12, 2014 274 The Assistant Director of Finance & Administrative Services responded that Cypress' WestComm funding share is 45 %. The Assistant Director of Finance & Administrative Services stated that General Fund Operating Budget expenditures reached $25 million and that revenues are not rebounding as quickly to where they were five years ago due to a plateau of sales tax and a Toss of Redevelopment Agency loan interest. He reviewed the proposed changes in the General Fund balance and stated that the projected fund balance for next year is expected to be approximately $13.6 million. Council Member Bailey asked if the City Council could be provided with a budget summary similar to that on the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR). The Assistant Director of Finance & Administrative Services responded that a summary of resources and appropriations by fund is provided in the City of Cypress Proposed Annual Budget for Fiscal Year 2014 -2015. The Interim City Manager clarified that the summary of resources and appropriations by fund provided in the City of Cypress Proposed Annual Budget for Fiscal Year 2014- 2015 and is a summary of all of the City's General Operating funds. The Assistant Director of Finance & Administrative Services stated that the Internal Services Funds are not part of the budget adoption and are not included in the summary of resources and appropriations. The Interim City Manager indicated that the Internal Services Funds are reflected in the CAFR, as well as in the monthly investment report and the monthly financials. Council Member Narain asked about the current year transfer of additional infrastructure funds in the amount of $1.7 million. The Interim City Manager stated that the infrastructure transfer reflects $1.4 million in savings that would be available for transfer at the end of the year plus monies that were collected from residual property tax due to the loss of the Redevelopment Agency. The Assistant Director of Finance & Administrative Services reviewed the General Fund Analysis and stated that net operations used to fund capital would be approximately $3.8 million. He indicated that the City Council approved policy for Capital Improvement Project (CIP) is $2.25 million of transfers that includes $800,000 for residential streets, $250,000 for public facilities, $500,000 for storm drains, and $250,000 for sidewalks and Warland Drive. Mayor Pro Tem Johnson asked about CIP funding for the Cypress Recreation and Park District. The Assistant Director of Finance & Administrative Services responded that the Cypress Recreation and Park District has its own funding. The Interim City Manager spoke of CIP funding and stated that there would be $2 million in the infrastructure funding. He stated that there are revenues to cover the City's normal operations. The Assistant Director of Finance & Administrative Services stated that the Cypress Recreation and Park District funding is predominately funded with property taxes with estimated revenues totaling approximately $5.2 million, which is a decrease primarily due to the residual tax increment from the Redevelopment Agency. He stated that the Cypress Recreation and Park District would repay the City's Infrastructure Fund $312,000 for previous projects funded through the Redevelopment Agency. 3 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 12, 2014 275 Mayor Mills stated that the new Fiscal Year 2014 -2015 Budget reflects funding for a new remotely controlled projector at the Senior Citizens Center, and suggested that there be funding for the same type of projector at the Community Center. He spoke of lighting concerns at the Senior Citizens Center and suggested that there be an individual switch to turn off banks of lights as needed. Council Member Bailey asked if lighting concerns at the Senior Citizens Center had been considered in the past. The Interim City Manager replied that dimmer switches at the Senior Citizens Center had previously been considered. Mayor Mills clarified that it would be only one switch for the bank of lights at the Senior Citizens Center. The Interim City Manager stated that the Recreation and Park District and the Public Works Department would confer on the matter, and that general improvements for the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) may be used. He stated that it should be reviewed prior to being budgeted, and that it would be submitted to the City Council for appropriation. The Assistant Director of Finance & Administrative Services stated that the Cypress Recreation and Park District Capital Improvements have decreased from approximately $560,000 to approximately $423,000 due to consistency with the needs assessment that was done a few years ago. The Assistant Director of Finance & Administrative Services provided a general overview of the Successor Agency to the Cypress Redevelopment Agency, and stated that the $312,000 promissory loan from the City would be paid back from the Cypress Recreation and Park District. The Interim City Manager indicated that a portion of the loan has been paid back through the residual transfers. The Interim City Manager stated that City Council has raised questions with regard to contracting out for jail facilities, and clarified that there is low staffing at the Police Department due to injuries and academy attendance, and that consideration would be given for a budget adjustment to shift the Police Services Officers back to the jail. He indicated that there are no plans for contracting out the jail. Council Member Bailey asked about the jail budget decrease and if that would be reflected in the final budget for Fiscal Year 2014 -15. The Interim City Manager responded in the affirmative. Council Member Bailey asked that future jail budget data be shared with the City Council. The Interim City Manager stated that there would be a jail even if it was contracted out and that specific cases might be sent to facilities in other cities. Council Member Narain asked about other cities without jails. The Police Chief responded that Cypress' jail is a temporary holding facility and that its closure has not been discussed, and that they would still have to be open. She indicated that another location is being sought in order to reduce staffing needs. The Assistant Director of Finance & Administrative Services reviewed revenue projections and stated that they are based on current revenues, trends, economic data, and the State economic downturn. He indicated that State takeaways are not anticipated. He stated that the Capital Outlay budget is approximately $234,000 and includes two police vehicles, police equipment, replacement of the firewall /routers, and Cypress Recreation and Park District equipment. He stated that the Internal Service 4 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 12, 2014 276 Funds are fully funded and that the Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS) actuarial liability is not fully funded, however steps are being taken for the set -aside of funds. Council Member Bailey asked if the 2013 PERS earning was 22 % -23 %. The Interim City Manager responded that he does not know that figure but speculated that it was approximately 20 %. He stated that there would be future budget impacts because of this. The Assistant Director of Finance & Administrative Services indicated that progress is being made with the CIP needs and that more work is needed with storm drains and parks. Council Member Bailey asked about the separate funding of the Cypress Recreation and Park District and if another source of funding would eventually be necessary. The Interim City Manager stated that several park improvements are needed and that a few million dollars are set - aside. He stated that sometime in the future there may be consideration of bonds for park improvements. Council Member Bailey asked about the Mackay Elementary School site. The Interim City Manager responded that the price is not yet finalized and that there are funds available for that expense. Council Member Yarc asked which fund it would be in. The Interim City Manager replied that it would come from the Cypress Recreation and Park District reserve for infrastructure. Mayor Mills asked how many years projects fall under consideration. The Interim City Manager stated that the 2008 Sewer Master Plan estimate was reduced from $43 million to $27 million, the problem areas are the goal, and that it would ultimately be a 20 -year period. The Assistant Director of Finance & Administrative Services provided a summary of Fiscal Year 2014 -15 Capital Projects and indicated that the majority of the budget is storm drain projects, parkway projects, and street projects. Council Member Narain asked if future expansion of the Cypress Library is included in future project planning. The Interim City Manager responded that expansion of the Cypress Library is budgeted at an estimated cost of $160,000, and that it is not budgeted as a line item but there is funding available. The Assistant Director of Finance & Administrative Services spoke of future budget issues including the State budget and its anticipated surplus, in addition to the effects of Proposition 1A and the potential for additional borrowing from the City, however that is not expected this year. He stated that there is potential with major business relocation, funding increased PERS costs, labor legislation impacts on employees and contractors with the increase of minimum wage, and health insurance costs due to the Affordable Care Act. The Assistant Director of Finance & Administrative Services concluded by stating that the budget is balanced without layoffs or furloughs, the City Council goals have been incorporated, reserves have been maintained, and that the final budget would be presented to the City Council for formal adoption on June 9, 2014, with the inclusion of reallocation of the jailers time. 5 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 12, 2014 277 CLOSED SESSION: The City Attorney reported that the City Council would be meeting in Closed Session regarding Public Employee Appointment, pursuant to Government Code Section 54957, to Consider Filling the Position of City Manager.

He stated that based on the City's source reduction and recycling element established in 1992, a green waste program is State required and that the City could be subject to a fine of up to $10,000 per day if deemed non - compliant. Council Member Yarc asked if weekly green waste pick -up is part of the State regulations and if residents can opt out of the green waste program. The Interim City Manager stated that residents may opt out of the green waste service, however the City must provide a green waste collection. He stated that it has not yet been determined if the service would be weekly or bi- weekly. Council Member Narain stated that he is reconsidering his position on weekly pick -up for all three waste services, and that bi- weekly pick -up for green waste and recycling would be appropriate and eliminate traffic impacts. He asked about discussion on this matter due to it not being agendized. The City Attorney stated that this is a fair issue for discussion and that it would be more effective once the quotes are received and costs could be reviewed. He indicated that the City has never conducted a trash truck impact study and that a cost analysis would be beneficial when deciding on a pick -up schedule. Mayor Pro Tem Johnson asked if Homeowner's Associations (HOA's) would be required to have green waste service. The Interim City Manager stated that many HOA's contract with landscape companies who remove the green waste and that they would not be required to have the service. He stated that the service would be offered to other HOA's who do not have such a service, unless they opt out. Mayor Pro Tem Johnson asked if the cost of the study could be passed on to the hauler. The Interim City Manager responded that the trash impact study costs would be incorporated into the trash collection administrative costs. Mayor Pro Tem Johnson spoke regarding accumulated green waste and fire hazard concerns during hot weather. Council Member Bailey commented on increased trash from families with children and spoke in support of weekly pick -ups. It was moved by Council Member Bailey and seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Johnson, that the City Council approve an appropriation of $7,500 from the Unassigned Fund Balance of the General Fund to Account No. 111 - 20120.4189_100 (Other Professional Services) for preparation of a street maintenance cost impact study.
