Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday,June 17, 2013 <br /> Page 32 <br /> struggled with defining it that way versus providing good wages and a good work <br /> environment. To consider making financial adjustments in this particular year <br /> with recent legislative limits, Councilmember Laliberte opined would be very dif- <br /> ficult to do. However, in the upcoming Department Head budget discussions, if <br /> the City Council heard departments address their priorities and whether this was <br /> more important or a higher priority than adding a volunteer coordinator, or this or <br /> that particular program or service, Councilmember Laliberte stated that this would <br /> provide a better context for her. While appreciating receiving the Human Re- <br /> sources perspective, Councilmember Laliberte advised that she still needed to <br /> hear those department priorities, based on a flat, decreased or increased budget <br /> and levy and how they would respond. <br /> Mayor Roe noted that the reason for the compensation study was to determine <br /> where the City fell in the market place in an effort to avoid attrition of employees. <br /> Mayor Roe suggested that the City Council keep in mind that it would be very <br /> difficult to implement this in 2014, even if done in three (3) stages. Mayor Roe <br /> suggested that one option, in 2013, would be to use reserves to avoid bumping <br /> against the levy limit. However, Mayor Roe concurred with Councilmember <br /> Laliberte's suggestion to have the discussion in the context of Department Head <br /> budget discussions, similar to that of the CIP funding crisis addressed several <br /> years ago; with operating costs reduced to apply to capital funding, with everyone <br /> taking a hit and solving CIP funding. Mayor Roe noted that the City's employees <br /> were one of its most important areas of capital; but spoke in opposition to borrow- <br /> ing ahead or using reserves as a way to defer the hit. <br /> Councilmember Willmus concurred with the comments of Mayor Roe, specifical- <br /> ly in the context of budget discussions. Regarding the possible use of using re- <br /> serves for funding, Councilmember Willmus opined that he was willing to look at <br /> that provided there was a more in-depth conversation and that it included a dis- <br /> cussion of reserve ratios. <br /> Mayor Roe cautioned using reserves requires the City to do that each year until <br /> revenue became available, creating the same sustainability problem currently be- <br /> ing addressed. <br /> Councilmember Willmus referenced former Councilmember Pust's comment that <br /> there was a reason for organized labor in certain areas; opining that this was one <br /> of them. <br /> Mayor Roe noted that this still didn't address or avoid the cost. <br /> Councilmember Willmus concurred; however, he noted that it made sense to step <br /> back and look at potential funding mechanisms, as suggested by Councilmember <br /> Laliberte and Mayor Roe in the context of the broader picture. <br />
