CITY'S BUDGET SHORTFALL The Council, on Councilmember Carl-Mitchell's motion, Mayor Cooksey's second, waived the requirement for three readings and finally passed ordinances regarding the City's Budget Shortfall. (7-0 Vote) SEE THE FOLLOWING NINE PAGES Council Memo 17 6/4/87 FOUNDED 2829 Το: Mayor and Councilmembers From: Jorge Carrasco, City Manager Date: June 2, 1987 Subject: FY86-87 Budget Shortfall Strategy Since your retreat this past weekend, we have reviewed and finetuned the numbers for the options that the City Council selected in balancing the General Fund Shortfall as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. Employee Furloughs. In making a rough calculation at the retreat on Saturday we overestimated the amount of time required to produce the level of savings required. Instead of 3 days per employee, the Council can achieve the same level of savings discussed Saturday with 10 hours per employee of unpaid furlough days. We recommend that change be made. Employee Assistance Program. Cancelling the contract will mean that services now being discounted under the contract will have to be absorbed at the full cost by the Health Benefits Fund. This contract expires of its own terms on August 15, 1987. We recommend retaining it through that date allowing staff to review employee assistance program options for next fiscal year. Wellness Physician. We believe we underestimated the problem of providing medical supervision and assistance at the jail and in other police programs. We might actually spend more procuring medical services without this position than if we retained it. We recommend deleting this choice and allowing us to revisit this program for next year. EMS Manager of Community Services. The amount of terminal pay for this position this year is greater than earlier reported 1 1 Council Memo 18 6/4/87 meaning that cutting this position will actually cost $2915 more than it saves us this fiscal year. If the Council uses the same criteria used to evaluate other postions on Saturday this position would not be included in the list at this time, but rather would be looked at for elimination next fiscal year. The estimated full year savings next year by eliminating this position is $38,337. The total savings produced by this shortfall strategy including the changes recommended above is $ 2,958,207, and we recommend adoption of the strategy as revised. Quy Cavasc Jorge Carrasco City Manager 1 1 Council Memo 19 Cost-Containment Furlough Guidelines 6/4/87 Will employees be allowed to take the time in increments? We are working toward allowing increments of as little as two hours per week if the system has the capability of tracking such small periods of time. How will this be implemented for employees with irregular shifts? The furlough requirement will be monitored based on hours taken, with 10 hours being the standard for 40 hour employees. The furlough requirement will be prorated for employees with workweeks of over and under forty hours, so that all employees will be affected equally. Workweek Furlough 36 14 hours 53 13.25 hours 40 10 hours 30-29 7.5 hours 20-29 5.0 hours 10-19 2.5 hours How will this affect benefits? The furiough will not affect benefits for City employees. Vacation and sick time accrual will also not be affected. Time off during any pay period reduces neither the amount of service credit time nor the contribution amount for retirement purposes. The furlough will also not affect insurance coverage unless a permanent change is made to an employee's scheduled workweek. The only way that either of these benefits could be affected is if an employee's gross pay drops to the point that adequate deductions cannot be taken. Then the employee would be required to make up the contributions to continue benefits. 1 11 Council Memo FY 1986-87 COST CONTAINMENT OPTIONS TENTATIVELY APPROVED BY COUNCIL (Corrected $ Acounts) June 2, 1987 Page 1 20 6/4/87 DEPARTMENT AMOUNT FTES ANNUAL SAVINGS COMMENTS PARKS & RECREATION DEPT.
