<br />Memo <br />2005 Budget Memo <br />2 <br /> <br />. Increase in employee benefits costs (health and dental). Staff is conservatively <br />estimating that the premiums will increase by about fifteen (15) percent. We will get a <br />better handle over the next two months. City contribution towards health and dental is <br />$533 per month. The past few years Council has approved budgeting for 50% of the <br />increase in premium. Would this be an appropriate formula to use at this point? Funding <br />formula for the capital purchases at the Lake Johanna Fire Stations. <br />· Update the 5 year CIP. <br />. Highway 96 Landscaping? <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The following items are part of our previously approved CIP and Technology Plan for 2006. <br /> <br />· In the 2005 Budget, $25,000 was set aside for the implementation of on-line credit card <br />system. Staffwill be evaluating the pros and cons of the implementation in the later part <br />of this year. Also, staff will be evaluating the implementation ofthe document imaging <br />system later on this year. Will come back to Council with a recommendation. Ifwe are <br />unable to implement in 2005, funds would have to be rolled into the 2006 Budget. <br />· Hardware upgrades - $10,600 <br />· Reconstruct Ridgewood Neighborhood - $1,670,000 <br />· Side Mount Tractor Mower Attachment - $5,000 <br />· Reconstruction oflift stations. Two, three, or all remaining four? Two were included in . <br />the current CIP. <br />· Replacement of Toro Groundmaster - $30,000 <br />· Perry Park Fencing - $22,000 <br />· Replacement of Valentine Play Structure - $55,000 <br />· Fire capital upgrades - $10,750 (pending new estimates from the Lake Johanna. <br />Numbers may be outdated) <br /> <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION: <br />Staff is seeking direction from the Council as it continues with the 2006 Budgeting process. <br /> <br />. <br />
