ANYBODY ELSE WANT TO SPEAK ON THE 2023 FISCAL YEAR AMENDED
BUDGET? WINDY. >> TO LEAD THE DISCUSSION MOS EFFICIENTLY THE AMENDMENT WILL BE DISCUSSED TONIGHT BY THE MAJOR COMPONENTS, THE FIRST BEING SURPLUS RESERVE ALLOCATIONS MARCH 9TH AND MARC 26 SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETINGS IN THE FINAL DECISIONS MADE AT TH JULY 13, FISCAL YEAR 2024 STRATEGY SESSION THEN MOVE INTO THE FUNDING SESSIONS DISCUSSED AT THE MARCH LIGHT-EMITTING THA THE PROJECT REALLOCATIONS ARE DISCUSSED WITH THE FINANCE COMMITTEE ON APRIL 6 THEM ALSO COUNSEL IN THE MY SECOND WORK SESSION AND WE ARE GOING TO TAL ABOUT A FEW OF THOSE ITEMS FINALLY A COUPLE OF OPERATING ANALYSIS ITEMS. MARCH 9TH BEGA ONE OF MANY DISCUSSIONS ON STRATEGICALLY ALLOCATING GENERAL FUNDS TO ENLARGE SEWER RESERVES TO AMEND THE MYRIAD OF PROJECTS. ALLOCATION TOTAL 5.4 MILLION BUT NOW DOWN AND FINALIZE TO 4.8 MILLION WITH 2.7 MILLION IN VARIOUS FUND IMPROVEMENTS RANGING FROM STREETS AND PARKS TO FACILITIES 45,000 TO THE DISASTER FUND FO EMERGENCY RESPONSE TRAILER AND 2 MILLION FOR UTILITY CUSTOMER
[00:05:06]
SERVICE CENTER AND THE VOTING FACILITY ON DELL ROCK ROAD. TH PROPOSED BUDGET AMENDMENT WOULD REDUCE RESERVES AND APPROPRIATE BUDGET DOLLARS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS $4.8 MILLION LIST ON THE LEFT SIDE. ALSO ON MARCH 9 -- I GUESS I SHOULD GO BACK BEFORE I MOVE FORWARD. ARE THER ANY DISCUSSIONS WE WANT TO HAVEON THIS SLIDE? >> ANY QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT.
>> ALSO ON MARCH 9, PROJECTS THAT WERE ELIGIBLE TO BE FUNDE TO ALLOCATE PORTIONS OF EXCESS TAX REVENUES BASED ON ARPA FUNDING TO PARTICIPATING CITIE WERE DISCUSSED AND THE OUTCOME IS TO FIND $250,000 OF IMPROVEMENTS TO MARTIN DRIVE AN 4.9 MILLION OF IMPROVEMENTS TO EAST INDUSTRIAL STREET IS THE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM. THESE PROJECTS WERE APPROVED BY D.A.R.T. SO WE COULD MOVE FORWARD WITH THEM. THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT WOULD RECOGNIZE 125,000 OR 50% WE RECEIVED FRO D.A.R.T. FOR THE MARTIN PROJECT AND ALSO 10% UP FRONT FUNDING RECEIVED FROM THE EAST INDUSTRIAL PROJECT AS WELL AS ALLOCATE CORRESPONDING BUDGET APPROPRIATIONS TO EACH ONE OF THOSE PROJECTS. THE ADOPTED FISCAL YEAR 2023 CIP PROGRAM TOTAL 35.8 MILLION ACROSS FUNDING SOURCES. BUDGET OF THI SIZE REQUIRES MONITORING THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AS PROJECT ARE COMPLETED AND NEW DEVELOPMENTS OCCUR WHICH CAUSE THE NEED FOR NEW DEVELOPMENTS TO BE INITIATED OR EXISTING PROJECTS TO CHANGE IN SCOPE SO STAFF PROVIDED REALLOCATION RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE FINANCE COMMITTEE ON THE THE STAFF REPORT FOR TONIGHT'S MEETING INCLUDED MUCH MORE DETAIL FOR EACH ONE OF THESE RECIPIENT PROJECTS BUT OVERALL THE PROPOSED BUDGET AMENDMENT WILL REALLOCATE 2.2 MILLION OUT OF EXISTING GENERAL FUND PROJECTS OR GENERAL CIP PROJECTS THAT ARE EITHER COMPLETED OR ON HOLD, AND INTO THE GENERAL PROJECTS LISTED IN THE FIRST BOX. REALLOCATE 5.8 MILLION OFF OF EXISTING UTILIT PROJECTS INTO THE UTILITY PROJECTS LISTED IN THE SECOND BOX INTO THE DRAINAGE PROJEC REALLOCATION. BECAUSE THIS PROPOSED AMENDMENT IS MOVING PREVIOUSLY APPROPRIATED FUNDS FROM ONE PROJECT TO THE OTHER WITHIN THE SAME FUNDS, UNBALANCED AND THE CIP PROGRAM WILL NOT BE IMPACTED. BOTTOM O O LINE. YOU CAN SEE THERE AT THE BOTTOM WHERE WE PLAN TO ALLOCATE 656,000 IN INTEREST EARNINGS TO INCREASE FUNDING A STATE HIGHWAY 66 SEWER LINE PROJECT. ANY QUESTIONS AND THE CIP RELOCATIONS? THROUGHOUT TH YEAR VARIOUS MISCELLANEOUS ITEM ARISE THAT MAY BE BETTER SERVED AS AN ADJUSTMENT TO THE BUDGET SO FOR FIFTH YEAR 23 WE HAVE AN APPROVED 96,000 BUYBACK FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 3913 MAIN STREET. SINCE IT WAS UNDER FOR THE $50,000 COUNCIL THRESHOLD ON MAY 22ND, CITY MANAGER DIRECTED STAFF TO ALLOCATE 35,000 FOR THE PURCHASE OF A PROPRIETARY SOFTWARE THAT COMPLEMENTS THE STREET ASSESSMENT PROJECT FUNDED IN FISCAL YEAR 23 FISCA BUDGET. TO OFFSET THESE APPROPRIATIONS THE BUDGET PROPOSES TO INCREASE TO RECOGNIZE SURPLUS RECEIPTS DURING THE YEAR. LEAVING THE ZERO FUND BALANCE IMPACT FOR INCREASING THE APPROPRIATIONS FOR THESE TWO ITEMS. NEXT IN THE TAM BOXES AT THE BOTTOM, TH
BUDGET AMENDMENT PROPOSES >> FINAL WHAT'S ON OPERATING SURPLUS OF $80,000 OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND RESERVES AND INTO THE CASH WHAT ZONE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT TO REINVEST BACK INTO THE PARK SO EACH YEAR WE HAVE HAD A PLAN THAT IF THERE ARE SURPLUS RESERVES, OPERATING RESERVES TO THE WHAT ZONE WE WOULD REINVEST THAT BACK INTO THE PARK SO THIS IS THE FISCAL YEAR 22 SURPLUS AND WE ARE PUTTING THOSE BUDGET DOLLARS I THE FISCAL YEAR 23 BUDGET. NEX IN THE RED BOXES UP AT THE TOP RIGHT, THE BUDGET AMENDMENT PROPOSES TO REALLOCATE $525,000
[00:10:05]
OF SAVINGS IN ENTERPRISE LEASING PROGRAM DUE TO VEHICLE SUPPLY SHORTAGES, BACKORDERS DURING THE FISCAL YEAR AND MOV THAT INTO A BERM WHICH IS VEHICLE AND EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT FUND IN YOUR MARKET FOR FUTURE VEHICLE REPLACEMENTS THEN FINALLY THE BUDGET AMENDMENT PROPOSES TO APPROPRIATE $20,000 FOR THE GOLF MASTER PLAN TO INCLUDE I THE 23 LIVE BUDGET. THIS WILL REDUCE THE FUND BUDGET BUT KEE THE FUND THAT RESERVES THESE ITEMS? AND LAST, OUR LAS COMPONENT FOR THE END OF EACH YEAR , FINANCE STAFF ANALYZES EXPENSES OF EACH ADOPTED FUND WITH BOTTOM-LINE DEFENSE APPROPRIATIONS THAT WERE ADOPTE FOR THE FISCAL YEAR. THIS YEAR BUDGET AMENDMENT IS PROPOSED FO THE REFUSE FUND AND THE AMENDMENTS FUND. IN THE REFUSE FUND, THE COST OF FCC SERVICES EXPECTED TO EXCEED THE ADOPTED BUDGET BY ABOUT $70,000. HOWEVER, WE ARE ALSO PROPOSING TO RECOGNIZE THE CORRESPONDING INCREASE OF REVENUES FOR THE SERVICE WE BROUGHT IN LEAVING A ZERO FUND BALANCE IMPACT TO TH REFUSE FUND. WE'VE HAD SEVERAL LARGE MEDICAL CLAIMS THAT HAVE BEEN PLAYED THIS YEAR THAT ARE ANTICIPATED TO EXCEED THE FUNDS ANNUAL EXPENSE BUDGET BY $2.3 MILLION. TO OFFSET THIS IMPACT THE BUDGET PROPOSES TO RECOGNIZE ADDITIONAL REVENUE WE'VE RECEIVED FROM THESE CLAIM AS WELL AS INCREASED SUBSCRIPTION REBATES THROUGH THE FISCAL YEAR SO AGAIN THIS AMENDMENT WOULD CREATE A ZERO FUND BALANCE IMPACT IS NOT ONLY ARE WE RECORDING AND RECOGNIZING THE ADDITIONAL EXPENSE, BUT ALSO RECOGNIZING ADDITIONAL REVENUES WE ANTICIPATE TO BRING IN. THAT CONCLUDES TONIGHT'S PRESENTATION. HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE.>> COUNSEL, ANY QUESTIONS ON TH AMENDED 23 BUDGET? I THINK WE ARE GOOD. I THINK WE HAD ENOUGH TIME TO REVIEW IT SO OBVIOUSLY
[3B. Discussion on the 4-day work week]
NO QUESTION SO GOOD JOB. NEXT ITEM IS ITEM 3B, DISCUSSION O THE FOUR-DAY WORKWEEK. DOES ANYBODY FROM THE AUDIENCE WISHTO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? >> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. I WILL TRY TO MAKE THI AS QUICK AS I CAN. REALLY, THI IS A DISCUSSION FOR MOST OF YOU WHO ARE AWARE THAT APPROXIMATELY SEPTEMBER OF LAST YEAR THE CITY BEGAN A PILOT PROGRAM ALLOWING THE CITY TO CLOSE ON FRIDAYS, ONE OF THE FIRST CITIES IN THE AREA TO DO SO. FEEDBACK RECEIVED FROM THE COUNCIL WAS THAT YOU HAD A DESIRE FOR US TO OPEN FIVE DAYS A WEEK SO SINCE COMING ON BOARD A CITY MANAGER IN JUNE, I'VE ME WITH STAFF, BOTH THE EXECUTIVE TEAM AND SENIOR LEADERSHIP OF THE DEPARTMENTS WITH RESPECT TO THAT PARTICULAR REQUEST, THAT W OPEN FIVE DAYS A WEEK AGAIN. ADDITIONALLY, I UNDERSTAND YOU ALL WOULD CONSIDER ALLOWING US TO ROTATE STAFF SCHEDULES TO ALLOW STAFF TO MAINTAIN A FOUR DAY WORK WEEK WHICH ALSO PROVIDES THE WORK BENEFIT OF FOUR HOURS OF ADDITIONAL PAY AN COMPENSATION WHILE STAFF CONTINUES TO WORK A 36 HOUR WOR WEEK. WE HAVE MET. STAFF IS VER CLEAR THAT WE WILL RETURN TO OPERATIONAL HOURS MONDAY THROUG FRIDAY. WE ARE PROPOSING THOSE HOURS BE 7:30 TO 5:30, AS IT SEEMS PRETTY CLEAR FROM FEEDBAC THAT THERE IS A LARGER DEMAND FOR EARLIER HOURS AND THERE APPEARS TO BE FOR LATER HOURS. ADDITIONALLY, WE ARE PROPOSING THE 730 TO 530 RETURNED TO WOR THAT WE MAINTAIN ROTATING WORK SCHEDULES. STAFF WOULD CONTINUE TO WORK 36 HOURS, THUS RECEIVIN THE FOR OUR BENEFIT OF PAID COMPENSATION FROM THE CITY. THI AGAIN WAS DONE -- HAS BEEN DISCUSSED BEFORE AS AN OFFSET TO SLIGHTLY HIGHER MARKET RATE INCREASES. THE LAST THING I WILL SAY ON THIS BEFORE I RECEIVE YOUR FEEDBACK IS THAT I MY CONVERSATIONS WITH STAFF, I HAS BEEN MADE EXCEEDINGLY CLEAR THAT YOUR EXPECTATION IS THAT THERE IS NO DEGRADATION OF SERVICES WHILE WE MAINTAIN THESE ROTATING FOUR DAY WORK WEEKS. WITH THAT, I WILL RECEIV YOUR FEEDBACK OR ANSWER
QUESTIONS. >> THAT WAS SIMPLE AND EASY. I
[00:15:02]
THINK MY INTENTIONS WHEN DISCUSSING THIS PREVIOUSLY WER CLEAR SO I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.>> I WAS ONE OF THE ONES WHO BROUGHT THIS UP IN THE BEGINNIN AND IT WAS NEVER ABOUT THE FOUR DAY WORK WEEK FOR ME. IT WAS ABOUT FIVE DAY OPEN FOR BUSINES , HOW YOU ACCOMPLISH THAT. THAT IS OPERATIONAL. THAT'S UP TO YOU, AND THIS WORKS FINE TO
ME. >> LAST THING I WAS REMISS IN SAYING IT'S IN THE STAFF REPORT WE WOULD LIKE FOR THIS TO GO INTO EFFECT OCTOBER 2ND TO COINCIDE WITH THE NEW FISCAL YEAR. ALSO GIVING TIME FOR PEOPLE TO ADJUST THEIR
RESPECTIVE SCHEDULES, SO. >> SO WOULD YOU ENVISION SOME DEPARTMENTS WOULD BE OFF ON FRIDAY AND [INDISCERNIBLE]
EITHER MONDAY OR FRIDAY? >> WE'VE LEFT THE REAL DETAILS TO THE DEPARTMENT DIRECTORS BUT OSTENSIBLY THAT'S WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. SOME PEOPLE WILL BE OFF FRIDAY. SOME WILL BE OFF MONDAYS. THEY WILL MONITOR WHO AND HOW MANY.
>> I JUST REQUESTED THIS FOR A LITTLE BIT OF CLARITY. THIS AFFECTS ALL DEPARTMENTS AND NOT JUST DEPARTMENTS OVER PHASE C
>> PREVIOUSLY A COUPLE OF PAIN POINTS FOR THE ANIMAL SHELTER ARE INSPECTORS, BUILDING INSPECTORS, COMPLIANCE PEOPLE.
AND I THINK THE ACTION CENTER PRIMARILY WAS ANOTHER ONE THAT WAS A PAIN POINT, AND SO THE NEW SCHEDULE WILL COVER AND ALLOW US TO HAVE SUFFICIENT COVERAGE, PARTICULARLY BUILDIN INSPECTIONS BECAUSE WHEN WE GET INTO PROBLEMS WITH CONTRACTORS AND THINGS LIKE THAT IT CAN BE SCARY BUT THOSE FORWARD FACING
CLIENT FACING DEPARTMENTS. >> AGAIN I'M AS COMFORTABLE AN CONFIDENT AS THE DIRECTORS ARE. WE'VE HAD A CONVERSATION, THER IS NOT GOING TO BE A DEGRADATION OF SERVICES.
>> I KNOW WE PREVIOUSLY DID DISCUSS THE ANIMAL SHELTER IN THAT THE SHELTER NEEDS TO BE OPEN ON SATURDAYS BECAUSE THAT IS THE BIGGEST ADOPTION DAY, SO WE HAD MADE AN EXCEPTION FOR THAT IN TERMS OF DOING TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY INSTEAD OF
MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. >> NOT SURE PARTICULARLY. I THINK THE REAL DICTATE IS THAT THERE ARE GOING TO BE FIVE DAYS FOR THAT SHELTER IS OPEN , AND THE DETERMINATION IS THAT SATURDAY IS THE KEY DAY , THEY WILL ADJUST ACCORDINGLY.
>> I JUST WANT TO BE SURE THAT THERE WILL BE SUPERVISION. THER WILL BE PEOPLE IF PROBLEMS ESCALATE, THAT THERE WILL BE SOMEONE AVAILABLE TO ANSWER AN PROBLEMS.
>> I DON'T KNOW WHO'S GOING TO BE ON STAFF, SO I DON'T WANT TO SAY YES EVERY TIME WE ARE OPEN THERE'S GOING TO BE A SUPERVISO ON SITE, BUT DIRECTORS AND SUPERVISORS HAVE MADE IT VERY CLEAR TO THEM THAT THERE IS AN EXPECTATION OF AVAILABILITY
NOTWITHSTANDING. >> HAS THERE BEEN FEEDBACK FROM STAFF ON THIS PROPOSED PROGRAM? HOW IT WOULD BE RECEIVED? FROM
MORAL PERSPECTIVE. >> I THINK AGAIN DISCUSSIONS WERE HAD BEFORE I ARRIVED THAT STAFF FAVORED CLOSING ON FRIDAY SO I WOULD BE DISINGENUOUS NOT TO REPRESENT THAT POSITION. THA SAID, SINCE THE ANSWER IS TO RETURN TO A FIVE DAY SCHEDULE, AGAIN WE MET VERY CLEARLY ARTICULATED EXPECTATIONS THEY AGREED TO I THINK APPRECIATIVE OF BEING ABLE TO HAVE A FLEXIBL
SCHEDULE TO SOME DEGREE. >> IS THIS DESIGNED TO BE A PERMANENT PROGRAM WITH REGARD T THE LAST PROGRAM BEING TEMPORARY, LET'S TAKE A LOOK IN SIX MONTHS? NOW THIS IS THE FO THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE THIS IS THE PROGRAM WE ARE OPERATING
UNDER? >> IT IS FOR US. WE UNDERSTAND THAT AT ANY POINT IN TIME IF WE FAIL TO DELIVER WERE GOING TO B CALLED BACK HERE TO HAVE A DISCUSSION. I DON'T THINK ANY O US WANT THAT. IT ALLOWS US TO MAINTAIN THE BENEFIT OF OFFERIN THAT IS A FRINGE BENEFIT TO EMPLOYEES SO I THINK WE ARE GOING TO DO OUR BEST TO MAINTAI IT.
>> YA, NOTHING IS SO PERMANENT, SO WE CAN ALWAYS ENDED BACK
[4. DISCUSS CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS ]
HERE ON A FUTURE DATE. >> ANY QUESTIONS?
>> THANK YOU. >> WITH THAT, COUNSEL, PLEASE
[00:20:06]
TAKE A LOOK AT THE CONSENT AGENDA AND LET ME KNOW IF YOU'D LIKE TO PULL ANYTHING FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION OR HAVQUESTIONS ON THESE ITEMS. >> AM 7B QUESTION WAS WHEN WE DISCUSSED THIS PREVIOUSLY, WE SAID THAT THESE COLLECTIONS WOULD ONLY BE MADE WHEN THE PERSON'S INSURANC COVERED IT AND PAID FOR IT. I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING IN ANY OF THIS THAT SAID THAT. WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU'RE GONE? THERE WILL BE WRITTEN -- OKAY, THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO DO. AND 7F? CONTRACTING FOR HEALTH SERVICES I NOTICED IN THAT , THAT IT APPOINTS CARLIN AS A PUBLIC HEALTH AUTHORITY. I'D LIKE TO KNOW EXACTLY HOW MUCH AUTHORIT THAT ENTAILS. IN OTHER WORDS, CANNOT PERSON IMPOSE MANDATES AND SHUTDOWNS? I'M NOT COMFORTABLE WITH SOMEONE WHO'S NOT EVEN A RESIDENT OF OUR CITY
HAVING THAT. >> I KNOW IN THE PAST WHEN WE HAD THE COVID RESPONSE WE FOLLOWED DALLAS COUNTY'S RULES TEMPORARILY UNTIL CITY COUNCIL, I GUESS, [INDISCERNIBLE]
>> THAT WOULD BE GUIDED BY COUNSEL AND NOT GARLAND HEALTH.
AUTHORITY -- I WOULD TAKE THE TERM AUTHORITY WITH A GRAIN OF SALT. THEY PROVIDE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE CITY OF ROWLETT AND WHAT WE SHOULD DO. SO IF THEY ARE SEEING ISSUES IN SOME AREA WITH THE PANDEMIC -- COVID COMES BACK AGAIN AND IT'S VIOLENT AGAIN IN DEADLY, WHATEVER. IF THEY RECOMMENDED W TAKE SOME ACTION AGAIN, IT'S ONLY A RECOMMENDATION AND ULTIMATELY WE DECIDE WHAT RECOMMENDATIONS TO ALLOW TO
MOVE FORWARD. >> SO THESE SERVICES WOULD INCLUDE SUCH AS COMMUNICABLE DISEASE SURVEILLANCE AND REGISTRATION AND ALL OF THAT, THOSE ARE ONLY RECOMMENDATIONS
REGARDING THOSE THINGS? >> THE COMMUNICATIVE DISEASE SURVEILLANCE, I BELIEVE, IS CONDUCTED THROUGH DHS.
>> IT IS, AND IT'S NOT UNCOMMON FOR CITIES TO OFTEN CONTRACT WITH THE COUNTY FOR THESE VERY SAME SERVICES. GARLAND IS REPLACING THE COUNTY IN THIS INSTANT, BUT ARE YOU ASKING HOW'S THE SURVEILLANCE BEEN ACCOMPLISHED OR --
>> NO, I'M JUST ASKING WHO HAS THE ULTIMATE AUTHORITY TO MAKE
THESE DECISIONS. >> I BELIEVE IT IS THE CITY.
>> I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WAS CLEAR TO ALL OF OUR
CITIZENS. >> ABSOLUTELY CITY. THE SAME WHEN WE ADOPTED THE DALLAS COUNTY RECOMMENDATIONS, THAT WA THROUGH A RESOLUTION BY COUNSEL , AND WHEN WE DECIDED TO GO WIT THE GOVERNOR'S ORDERS INSTEAD O THE COUNTIES, THAT WAS ALSO VIA
RESOLUTION. >> I HAD SOME CONCERNS, TOO, ABOUT THAT. GOOD TO GET THAT ON THE RECORD.
>> UNDERSTOOD. >> THE 182,000, 580 IS THAT JUS
FOR CONSULTING? >> THAT IS FOR HELPING US WITH THE UPGRADE. WE'VE NEVER HAD A UPGRADE THIS LARGE AND WE HAVE HAD STAFF TO WALK THE DEPARTMENTS OR WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE, TESTED, IMPLEMENTED TO GO LIVE.
>> I DIDN'T KNOW IF IT WAS JUST ASSISTANCE OR CONSULTING OR
WHAT. >> IT IS TO WALK US THROUGH TH ENTIRE REGULAR SESSION
