A combination of revenue increases and transfers, and expenditure cuts totaling $694,700 was reviewed. Revenues and transfers total $324,700. The City has been able to build over $2 million to its insurance reserves, and an estimated $144,000 in interest earnings. Staff recommended that these earnings be credited to the General Fund. He explained that the Building Permit revenue will increase due to Kaiser Hospital pulling their building permit for the parking structure in 1992-93. Street and Landscape District Transfers will increase by $10,000 to the General Fund for staff support to the District. The rent paid by the Housing Authority warrants an increase to $1 per foot and Gas Tax transfers indicate an additional transfer of $50,000. General Fund expenditure reductions total $370,100. The I- largest single cut was in insurance charges for worker's compensation and liability claims. Other proposed cuts are travel, supplies and miscellaneous expenses, a used car for the Building Department rather than a new one and some reduction in part-time staff in Human Services and the Police Department to reduce over-time. One alternative for consideration was freezing three police officer positions. The City has accumulated reserves in the PERS account with the State and has been required by PERS) to draw on those reserves rather than send them additional contributions. The Governor recommended, and the State Legislature approved a special one-time additional credit to PERS accounts.

Council reviewed the recommendations to balance the DISCUSSION budget and discussed that staff cuts were not proposed in the budget recommendations, the Director of Community Development position not being filled this year, the possibility of freezing certain positions, what the potential is for salary increases, and their concern for the low reserve funds. Council discussed at length the fact that the Council has the ability to raise the compensation for the next Council to be elected in April, 1994 and that the Baldwin Park City Council is far below the compensation level that the State allows. Some felt this would be looking ahead if this Council raised the compensation for two years away. Mayor Vargas stated for the record) that Council might just as well wait until the City is into the next year to consider this, because there is additional time and it is obvious the sentiment now is two members for the raise and three members against the raise. In reviewing the proposed changes Council made the following suggestion and recommendations: 1. Cut Council Conferences and Travel by $17,280 and cut some Conferences and Travel for other departments. F 2. Approach the school district regarding the crossing guard program for a possible change. 3. Part time and overtime not be cut in the Police Department and the Human Services Department. 4. The three police positions not be frozen. 5. Reduce the Planning Commission to five 5) members and limit one or two members, at the commission's discretion, to attend their conference. 6. Consideration of hiring own City Engineer to save the cost of consulting fees. Council also stated that they were aware that these changes to the budget may not be adequate if the State Budget takes funding away from the City and that the possibility for further cuts may prove necessary. 00- The adjourned regular meeting of the City Council was MEETING recessed at 8:35 p.m. RECESSED The adjourned regular meeting of the City Council RECONVENED reconvened at 8:48 p.m. Roll call remained the same. 00- Closed Session The City Council was adjourned to a joint closed session CLOSED with the Redevelopment Agency at 8:48 p.m. to consider SESSION personnel matters, pursuant to the Government Code. 00- BIB] 37175-U01 CC-U02 MIN-U02 JUN-U02 4-U02 1992-U02 LG1-U03 LI1-U03 FO3433-U03 FO3702-U03 FO3722-U03 DO3724-U03 C4-U03 MINUTES1-U03 10/11/2001-U04 ADMIN-U04 BIB] 37257-U01 1992-U02 06-U02 04-U02 CC-U02 MIN-U02 LG1-U03 LI1-U03 FO3433-U03 FO3702-U03 DO3724-U03 C4-U03 MINUTES1-U03 10/11/2001-U04 ADMIN-U04 CITY-U05 COUNCIL-U05 MINUTES-U05 1992 06 04 CC MINòw @˜xCC MIN JUN 4 1992[Þ›[H2 8 ADJOURNED REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY JUNE 4, 1992 COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BALDWIN PARK PAGE THREE Mayor Vargas adjourned the adjourned regular meeting of MEETING the City Council at 12:35 a.m. There no objections.
