Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday,August 19,2013 <br /> Page 15 <br /> In response to Councilmember McGehee's observation, Mayor Roe noted that <br /> while those particular fees were always listed as a revenue source as such, they <br /> were not significant. <br /> Councilmember Laliberte expressed her surprise in actually seeing proposed in- <br /> creases in fees, as she recalled in past meetings having been told that the commu- <br /> nity could not handle additional increases in fees. Councilmember Laliberte ex- <br /> pressed confusion about what and where those fees were that were being ad- <br /> dressed during those past discussions. Regarding the $35,000 savings in merit <br /> pay, Councilmember Laliberte questioned why that was not singled out since the <br /> $20,000 savings in the Wellness Plan had been listed. Councilmember Laliberte <br /> opined that it would have been nice to see those comparables singled out as well. <br /> Mayor Roe concurred that this was a reasonable request; and asked that staff bal- <br /> ance information contained in one RCA with subsequent RCA's. <br /> Mayor Roe asked if staff was using the Municipal Cost Index to determine infla- <br /> tion bases for budgets going forward. Mayor Roe observed that even by taking <br /> the Consumer Price Index (CPI) into consideration from the taxpayers' perspec- <br /> tive for tax impacts for median property compared to the CPI and Prevailing <br /> Wage Indices, they all looked backwards. <br /> Mr. Miller advised that the same thought process being used by several indices <br /> was used to project fees; but projections were often made through contacting sup- <br /> pliers and contractors to predict their future costs. Mr. Miller noted that this <br /> served to underscore the unique aspect of running government versus private in- <br /> dustry; with the indices serving as good benchmarks as well. <br /> Councilmember Willmus opined that the CPI was a good index for municipal <br /> government, as it trended similarly, while agreeing that they did all look back- <br /> wards. <br /> Focusing on tonight's City Manager Recommended Budget and City Council <br /> preferences for future meetings, Mayor Roe noted that the September 9, 2013 <br /> agenda included action on setting a preliminary not-to-exceed 2014 levy. While <br /> the City Council could not set a levy any higher after that preliminary action, <br /> based on current levy limits put in place by the legislature, Mayor Roe opined that <br /> it didn't seem to be an issue of the City Council deciding to exceed that prelimi- <br /> nary levy. Mayor Roe suggested that it may be a quick process between now and <br /> September 9th unless the City Council wanted more discussion at their August 26 <br /> and September 9 meetings. <br /> Councilmember McGehee questioned the amount set aside in the Police Budget <br /> for the New American program; with Mr. Trudgeon advising that $1,000 was set <br />
