Home My WebLink AboutCommittee of the Whole Minutes 02.21.1995 MINUTES CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE FEBRUARY 21, 1995 6:30 P.M. COUNCIL CHAMBERS MEMBERS PRESENT: Chairman- Chuck Rodgers Ron Marshall John Minch Albert Ehrlick Lonnie Kellogg Bob Graham Donna Kilpatrick OTHERS PRESENT: V. Joe Leckie D.L. McGillen Mike Atkinson Jim Flisrand Vicki Metzger Don Hackmann Lonnie mentioned that Ron Harper from the Laurel Taxi Service feels that he is being picked on by not being allowed to double park. Delivery trucks and buses double park and don't get ticketed. The Police Committee will discuss this further. Bob Graham talked with a man who moved here from California. The reason he chose Laurel was because it was a pretty little town. Lately he has noticed that as you come into Laurel it looks dumpy, such as Fred Winter's TV Repair and other areas. Albert mentioned that Mrs. Hollingshead called him regarding a car parked across the street from her by the park for about a week. She called the Police Department about it and the police called her back and said that there was something wrong with the brakes, and that they would move it in a couple of days. Six days have gone by and it still sits there. Albert's complaint is that since we have an ordinance on the books why hasn't this been taken care of? Discussion regarding trailers being parked more than five days also. Mike said that he will do some checking on these complaints. Donna said that she had the same call about the taxi being double parked. John mentioned that the pastor at St. John's Lutheran Church got a call from somebody, who did not identify themselves, complaining about the playing of the church bells. Jim distributed and reviewed the public works status report for the past 2 weeks. Mike said that on East 8th where it runs in front of Sunhaven the south side is in the city limits and the north side is out. It is posted as 35 mph and there is a day care facility located in that ?I?laS He would like to lower that to 25 mph. The street and alley committee will review this. Joe said that the Council will be considering the appointment of Dave Michael. If there is any discussion, Dave has indicated that he wants that done in a closed meeting. Don distributed the mid--year budget message and Chuck reviewed the report with the Council members. Chuck said that he will have some comments later about a letter from Double-Tree, Inc., and the ISTEA project. The meeting was adjourned at 6:49 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Don Hackmann City Clerk 0 FROM: Jim Flisrand, Director of Public Works TO: Mayor and City Council DATE: February 21, 1995 SUBJECT: Public Works- UPDATE STREET & ALLEY 1.

The 1994-95 budget reflects a mill levy of 109.5 mills, as follows: General All Purpose 65.00 PERS 4.00 Comprehensive Insurance 10.00 Policeman's Insurance 2.00 Employee Health Insurance 8.00 Airport Authority 2.00 Fireman's Relief 2.00 FAP Bonds and Interest 2.50 Storm Sewer Bonds & Interest 14.00 109.50 The uncertainty of tax revenue because of I-105 plays havoc with the budget process. The City's tax revenue remains the same as in 1986. Expenses: 1) Parks- Parks budget reflects summer help. 2) The budget reflects summer personnel in the Park department and swimming pool. 3) The budget reflects a 10a increase in insurance premiums and 316 salary increase. There is no increase budgeted for voluntary firemen's call out pay. No elected official received a salary increase, except the Judge and the Treasurer. 4) Swimming pool- The budget reflects ticket prices the same as last year. To help control swimmers, swimmers must repay if they leave the pool area. The budget reflects the manager salary at 6.20/hr, the assistant manager at 5.7S/hr, 3 head lifeguards at 5.00/hr, returning lifeguards at 4.50/hr and new lifeguards at 4.25/hr. This has remained the same for the third year in a row. Special Note: 1992-93 revenue was $6,713 and operating expenses were $39,226; 1993-94 revenue was $3,640 and operating expenses were $33,124; 1994-95, as of 12-31-95, revenue is $6,568 and expenses are $26,645. 5) Police- Police budget reflects a position of Relief Dispatcher/Patrol. The budget eliminates the new car replacement for this year. 5) Fire- Fire budget reflects the fire inspector. Water Fund: The water fund budget still reflects the preventive maintenance program for the plant and equipment. The Water Plant is staffed at full manpower. Line replacement is budgeted at $15,000. 12o rate increase is budgeted for the Water Fund. This budget reflects the federal EPA requirements for about $2 million in upgrades and repairs to the plant and reservoir. Sewer Fund: The plant requires a lot of maintenance. Construction of additional drying beds is budgeted for this year. A Go rate increase is recommended for the sewer fund. This is necessary to meet the EPA requirements and make necessary repairs. Solid Waste: The solid waste budget reflects operating the City's container site. This budget does not reflect a rate increase. Snow Removal: The snow removal fund reflects no assessment for this budget year. Sweeping District: The special assessment remained the same as last year of .25 cents per frontage foot for residential property within the district and .75 cents per frontage foot for commercial property. Gas Tax: The budget continues the maintenance program in streets. A five year plan is in operation to chip seal the streets in Laurel. The City should receive additional revenue from the state's increase in gas tax. • 0 ., Long Term Debt: The mills for Long Term Debt is 16.5. Date of Original Issue Purpose Term Issue Outstanding 12-31-94 8/19/75 FAP complex 20 yrs. $ 395,000 $ 20,000 7/1/79 Storm Sewer 20 yrs. $1,800,000 $ 450,000 Trust & Agency- Firemen's Relief Fund Two mills were levied again this year. Along with the receipts from the State, this money is transferred to the Firemen's Relief Association. Light Districts: This years assessment for the Light District #2, which is the residential district, remains the same as last year. Light District 3 (commercial) assessment remains the same as last year due to sufficient cash reserves. Airport Authority: The Airport Authority budget reflects the reasonable budget as presented to the Budget/Finance committee. The 2 mill assessment is budgeted again this year which is included in the 109.5 mills. The Airport Authority is continuing their program with FFA grants to repair the Airport and to purchase additional land. 0 GENERAL FUND REVENUE TAXES P&I DEL TAX VEH PLATE FEE 2% VEH FEE BUSINESS LTC PERMITS STATE SHARED CMG FOR SERV WATER FUND SEWER FUND SW FUND LIGHT DIST.
