Budget Amendments ModifiedMEMORANDUM July 3, 2003 TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members FROM: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager SUBJECT: Modified Budget Amendment Recommendation Following the June 23, 2003 City Council Work Session on the Fiscal Year 2004 recommended budget amendment to deal with increased health care costs and the almost $1.2 million in state cuts to city revenues, additional research and refinement of the available information continued. Administrative Service Manager Pauline Joyce was in contact with Dubuque County Auditor Denise Dolan regarding the formula that would be used for applying the State mandated reduction in Homestead Tax Credit. A shortfall in City revenues of $86,707 was estimated from the State cutback. Auditor Dolan reported that Senate File 458 which reduced the funding of Homestead Credit to 85%, Military Tax Credit to 98% and Eidedy Credit to 40% provided for the County to pass these reductions on to the taxpayers as provided for in the iowa Code 25.B.7. She noted that Dubuque cities and County will not be impacted by the State's action on property tax credits. This changes the projected shortfall due to State actions from $1,157,132 to $1,070,425 or $86,707 in additional funding. The Summary of Decision Packages Recommended by Fund that was presented to City Council was missing the non-union wage package adjustments to the non-tax funds. By including these changes in the summary, there are certain decision packages in the non-tax funds that are no longer required to keep those funds in balance. Finally, Pauline Joyce compared notes with City Clerk Jeanne Schneider and Assistant City Manager Cindy Steinhauser to create a comprehensive list of those items which received four votes to be brought back to City Council at the July 9 public hearing. That list also includes responses to follow-up questions on particular items. These items are noted Follow-up Only as they did not receive four votes. I am respectfully recommending the following changes to my previous Fiscal Year 2004 budget amendment documents be included in the July 9 Public Hearing: Instead of increasing the paratransit (minibus) fare from $1 to $2.50, increase it from $1 to $2. Reinstate $114,087 in funding to the Library. This will reduce hours from 69 to 65 instead of 50, thereby preserving accreditation and saving the positions proposed for elimination. Fund these changes with the additional revenue soumes I have identified (Homestead Tax Credit) and an additional $43,400 from the Reserve Fund for a total Reserve fund drawdown of $95,501 in FY 2004 (This will need to be replenished in the FY 2005 budget.) 4. The modifications in non-General Fund expenditures include the following: Water Operating Fund · Only reduce hydrant replacement funding by $8,200, instead of $19,500 Refuse Fund · Avoid increasing appliance pick-up fee from $10 to $14 Landfill Fund · Increase cost to Agency by $4,245, instead of $10,765 Lead Paint Grant · Avoid shifting of $2,000 in vehicle costs The following cuts would be avoided entirely: Sewer Fund · Reduce subscriptions and travel - $2,465 · Reduce overtime and eliminate cross training - $5,616 UDAG Funds · Reduce DALMC contract - $717 CDBG Funds · Reduce education and training for Economic Development - $2,500 · Reduce rehab activity supplies - $1,470 · Reduce administrative supplies and services - $1,397 · Eliminate Rental Unit Survey - $6,000 Cable TV Funds · Reduce property maintenance- $312 · Reduce membership expense - $531 · Reduce machinery/equipment rental - $726 · Eliminate promotional activities - $687 · Reduce subscriptions-S2,300 · Eliminate City Expo - $9,000 Michael C. Van Milligen MCVM/jh Attachment cc: Barry Lindahl, Corporation Counsel Cindy Steinhauser, Assistant City Manager MEMORANDUM July 3, 2003 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: Michael C.Van Milligen, City Manager Pauline Joyce, Administrative Services Manager Follow-u p Material for July 9 Public Hearing The purpose of this memorandum is to provide follow-up matedal from the June 23 City Council budget work session, as well as some update information for City Council. Following the June 23 City Council work session, I was in contact with County Auditor Denise Dolan regarding the formula that would be used for applying the State mandated reduction in Homestead Tax Credit. I had estimated a shortfall in City revenues of $86,707 from the State cutback. Denise stated that Senate File 458 which reduced the funding of Homestead Credit to 85%, Military Tax Credit to 98% and Eldedy Credit to 40% provided for the County to pass these reductions on to the taxpayers as provided for in the Iowa Code 25.B.7. Denise noted that Dubuque cities and County will not be impacted by the State's action on property tax credits. This changes the projected shortfall due to State actions from $1,157,132 to $1,070,425 or $86,707 in additional funding that could be used to address any one of the tax supported items City Council identified at their June 26th work session. We also received word from the Library that the State funding of $35,000 that was anticipated to be lost in FY 2005 due to the loss of accreditation, will not occur in FY 2005 per the State. A copy of the notification they received is attached (Attachment 1) The Summary of Decision Packages Recommended by Fund that was presented to City Council was m~ssing the non-union wage package adjustments to the non-Tax funds. I missed picking up these figures from another spreadsheet. By including these changes in the summary, there are certain decision packages in the non-tax funds that are no longer required to keep those funds in balance, have indicated the changes m resources discussed in paragraph one above and the recommended changes in the non-property tax supported decision packages in Attachment 2. City Council also asked for a summary of the status of the positions that are being recommended for elimination or reduction from FT to PT status. Personnel Manager Randy Peck prepared Attachment 3 in response to this request. I took Randy's information and broke it down to indicate the dollar impact by fund for vacant versus filled positions. It is important to note that although the position being eliminated isn't vacant, there may currently be vacancies within the department or City organization that the employee could apply for and initiation of the retirement incentive will hopefully create opportunities for these employees either directly or indirectly as other employees get reassigned. Finally, I compared notes with City Clerk Jeanne Schneider and Assistant City Manager Cindy Steinhauser to create a comprehensive list of those items which received four votes to be brought back to City Council at the July 9 public hearing (Attachment 4). That list also includes responses to follow-up questions on particular items. These items are noted Follow-up Only as they did not receive four votes. The resolution for adoption of the budget amendment is the final attachment to this memo (Attachment 5). cc: Cindy Steinhauser Jeanne Schneider Juanita Hilkin From: Sent: To: Subject: Susan Henricks [SHenricks@stout.dubuque.lib.ia.us] Tuesday, June 24, 2003 5:18 PM 'ctymgr@cityofdubuque.org' Library Accreditation Attachment i The State Library Commission has issued a one-year moratorium on reporting for accreditation purposes. The purpose of this decision is co provide cities and libraries in Iowa the opportunity co continue co work on budgets. At tke same time the State Library is forming a standards committee which will be reviewing the 88 standards of service, It is possible ~he minimum level of hours can move dow~ from 64, however the State Librarian assured me today the standard would never go ~s low as 50 hours. The goal of the State Library is to kave the review of standards complete by ~he end of FY '04. This means the Carnegie-Stout Library will received sca~e aid in '04 (because iu ~s based on '03 FY) and in '05.

The following is a summary of the requested information: Ridership Attrition History The last time the City Council increased fares without any concurrent changes in the service (route reductions, increased headways), was in 1996 when the fixed route general fares were increased from $0.80 to $1.00, half fares from $0.40 to $0.50 and ADA paratransit from $0.80 to $1.00. The attrition in ridership after these fare increases was 7%. In 1991 and lg92, fares were increased, routes were eliminated and headways were increased from half hour to hourly which resulted in much higner attritions. Staff has estimated ridership attrition for the proposed fare increases at 15% and feels very confident in this estimate. Also, the current KeyLine ridership is somewhat captive as opposed to the ridership makeup of 10 years ago when more riders by choice used the service. Fare Increase I have conducted a brief survey of Iowa transit systems and their current fixed route and ADA paratransit fare structures to assist council in selecting a satisfactory rate for Dubuque. KeyLine offers door to door service to persons with disabilities and seniors over age 60. It bears noting that the City of Dubuque's cost per ride for fixed route service is $3.36 and $5.78 for paratransit (Based on FY 2002 statistics). Dubuque offers more than required ADA paratransit service at the full fare fixed route rate. ADA provides a ceiling of 2 times the full fare fixed route rate City Fixed Route Full Rate Ames $0.75 Cedar Rapids $1.00 Dubuque $1.00 Iowa City $0.75 Sioux City $1.25 Waterloo $1.50 ADA Paratransit Rate $1.50 (1) $2.00 $1,00 $1.50 $2.25 (2) $3.00 (3) (1) (2) (3) This service is only for persons with disabilities not seniors This rate is curb to curb. Door to Door is $7.25 per ride This service is only curb to curb In response to your question, if the City increases the paratransit fare from $1 to $2 instead of $2.50, the likely increased revenue will be $36,160 instead of $54,240 (difference of $18,080). Additional Revenue and Expense Alternatives ($3,000)) · The Transit system could charge $40.00 per hour to all other departments for transportation service for tours conventions etc. Based on last year's requests this could add approximately $1,000 in additional revenue to the Transit budget.
