Regular City Council Meeting Monday, November 23, 2009 Page 10 tion, noting that there was no program in the amount of roughly $565,000 in this summary, but that there were 18 different programs within that summary; and that if Councilmembers were seeking a link back to a line item budget, it would take approximately one month to recreate that detail. Councilmember Johnson questioned what staff would prepare for the Truth in Taxation hearing; and what they planned to recreate to tie into the budget summa- ries at the end of the BFO process. Mr. Miller advised that such detail was not presented at the Truth in Taxation hearing level; but would consist of a budget package comparable to previous years; and asked if there was a different presentation that the City Council would like to see this year, that staff needed to hear that sooner rather than later. Councilmember Johnson questioned whether staff was already doing what was being requested by Councilmember Ihlan. Mr. Miller advised that, once the budget was finalized, the detail requested by Councilmember Ihlan, would be completed. However, Mr. Miller advised that he was leery to do that level of detail now, when as an example, the additional $50,000 employee insurance costs for every full-time employee would need to be allocated 160 different ways; and he would prefer to do that allocation only once rather than making those disseminations to a still dynamic document and process. Councilmember Johnson concluded that he was hearing from staff that Council- member Ihlan's request would require substantial additional work and was not in staff's timeline at this time. Mr. Miller concurred with Councilmember Johnson's observation; noting that it could be done, but not within a week. Councilmember Roe asked Mr. Miller how long it would be, once the BFO proc- ess was completed and a final budget determined at the last meeting of the year, before a budget document was published. Mr. Miller estimated two weeks, reminding Councilmembers that at the Decem- ber 21, 2009 meeting, the budget document would still be in wholesale categories, not 160 different ways (i.e., vehicle replacement in four different places; arena re- frigeration in one spot) and didn't represent much in the way of labor intensity; however, Mr. Miller asked that the City Council provide clearer direction before he began the fine-tuning process. Councilmember Roe suggested that, through the BFO process, the ultimate budget document will not be the same as in past years.
