Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday,June 16, 2014 <br /> Page 16 <br /> Mr. Miller clarified that it would not continue, and was due to funds received over <br /> time from other agencies and/or school districts involved in Joint Powers Agree- <br /> ments (JPA's) with the City of Roseville; and for the purpose of funding the con- <br /> struction of fiver build-out estimated at approximately$250,000 to complete. Mr. <br /> Miller advised that authorization for that build-out was intended to come before <br /> the City Council yet this summer, representing that large capital expenditure. <br /> While the surplus has been growing, Mr. Miller advised that it would not continue <br /> to do so beyond a gradual reserve fund. <br /> When voting last year in setting the budget, Councilmember Etten noted his con- <br /> cern then and ongoing concern in any continued use of budget reserves on an an- <br /> nual basis. Councilmember Etten opined that he had problems with that type of <br /> budgeting for the long-term. Councilmember Etten advised that he was open to <br /> reducing the amount of reserves in 2015 as indicated to avoid hammering resi- <br /> dents, he couldn't support cutting them all away, but would look toward splitting <br /> the difference as a reasonable compromise. Councilmember Etten opined that he <br /> would prefer not to use those reserves at all since it indicated larger and broader <br /> budget problems and a lack of ability to make hard choices. <br /> Mayor Roe concurred that he was not supportive of a long-term use of reserves; <br /> and noted previous discussions and former City Council's having a Tax Levy Re- <br /> duction Fund in place to reduce levy increases as indicated. Mayor Roe advised <br /> that his suggestion was to look at overall funds that way; and opined that the Gen- <br /> eral Fund and License Center made sense, not to deplete it all, but to transfer a <br /> sensible reserve amount; while still understanding that eventually the levy had to <br /> go up at some point to cover those costs. <br /> Councilmember Willmus agreed with the comments of Councilmember Etten. <br /> From his position, Councilmember Willmus opined that continuing the use of re- <br /> serves over many budget cycles would not be sustainable, and the City could not <br /> support that practice. However, Councilmember Willmus opined that there were <br /> other aspects outlined for the City Council that needed a hard look, using non- <br /> union COLA already put in place as just one example. Councilmember Willmus <br /> expressed his understanding of the original intent in October of 2013 for the <br /> 3.26% adjustment for employees, but when an additional 2% COLA in 2014 was <br /> approved, and now an additional 2% in 2015, he found that tying the Council's <br /> hands on other things. If some of those things are taken of the table, Coun- <br /> cilmember Willmus opined that a different balance could be found. <br /> Councilmember McGehee spoke in support of the reserve policy established in <br /> 2013. Councilmember McGehee noted the use of reserves last year with a prom- <br /> ise to pay it back, but now considering taking out of reserves yet again. Coun- <br /> cilmember McGehee agreed with Councilmember Etten's comments that some <br /> hard choices needed to be made; and since the recent community survey indicated <br /> citizens being happy with services and programs, and not seeking any reductions, <br />
