Report from the Finance Committee on the FY2018 Budget and related legislation FY 2018 Budget Report of the Finance Committee of the Annapolis City Council dated May 8, 2017 Finance Committee Members: Alderman Ian Pfeiffer, Ward 7, Chairman Alderman Ross Arnett III, Ward 8 Alderman Fred Paone, Ward 2 Executive Summary The Finance Committee for the City of Annapolis commits to an annual task of analyzing the Mayor’s proposed operating budget. As stewards of City Finances, it is the committee’s responsibility to ensure that a legally balanced budget is presented which meets voter expectations for programs, services and taxes. This in-depth budget analysis is performed through a series of twice weekly meetings, spanning over the course of a month. During the frequent meetings, the Finance Committee focused on all aspects of the proposed FY 2018 budget and accompanying legislation. However, the Finance Committee is not limited to that arena. The policy decisions that can affect the budget are as important as the individual monetary allocations. The annual operating budget is a policy document. Because policies and priorities vary from person to person, there is often times disagreement as to how the budget should be allocated. This year the Mayor’s budget was very straight-forward. There were no significant policy changes, nor budgetary changes, within the FY 2018 Operating Budget. Revenues and expenditures are expected to increase at nominal levels based on growth and trends. With the budget itself being non-controversial, it left the Finance Committee to focus on areas of the budget that they considered inadequate. FY 2017 proved to be a time of change within the City. There was the re-organization of the Department of Neighborhood and Environmental Protection (DNEP) into Planning & Zoning, the establishment of the Office of Environmental Policy, there was significant staffing increases among Police and Fire, and leadership changes within many of the departments. Because of these changes, the Finance Committee felt it best to hear from each department individually before making any amendments to the operating budget. For the Finance Committee, it was necessary to strike a balance of adequate funding and staffing for the core services that the Annapolis community expects, adequate funding for upcoming mandatory initiatives such as the Stormwater Management projects, adequate funding to address upcoming issues such as Sea Level Rise, and the balance to pursue these initiatives while staying within the City’s City of Annapolis Page 2 Printed on 6/13/2017 City Council Regular Minutes - Final May 8, 2017 debt limits. These same items will prove a theme of discussion throughout the upcoming fiscal year. Budget Hearing Process On April 3, 2017, Mayor Pantelides gave his State of the City address and presented his budget for fiscal year 2018. In prior years, the State of the City and the annual budget were presented at the first City Council meeting in March. Ordinance 3-17, which was passed March 13, 2017, changed that submission date to the first City Council meeting in April. This change was made to allow more time to conclude union negotiations and to confirm with the state the amount of real property tax revenue the City can expect to receive in the upcoming fiscal year. This timing change also meant that the Finance Committee would have only one month to deliberate on the Annual Operating Budget and other annual budgetary legislation. Beginning April 4, 2017 and continuing into May, the Finance Committee conducted twice weekly budget meetings at City Hall. During these meetings, the Finance Committee heard from Department Heads, the Finance Director, and the City Manager, as well as, the City’s Financial Advisor’s and Bond Counsel. The Mayor’s budget provided small increases in revenues and expenditures based on trends, inflation, and historic spending patterns. By beginning with a solid proposed budget, the Committee was able to focus on subtle changes to the budget that will increase efficiencies and allow staff to focus on objectives, mandated or discretionary. Finance Director Miller kicked-off the budget hearings by providing an executive level review of the FY 2018 Proforma, including a summary of changes to highlight variations from FY 2017 to FY 2018. Noted changes to the Proforma include: a half cent decrease in the tax rate from $0.694 to $0.644, a $680,000 transfer from prior year savings to the Sidewalk Fund, an increase to Police staffing by ten officers, an increase to Fleet Maintenance based on prior years’ usage, and a twenty-two percent (22%) decrease to the Solid Waste Fee. Assistant Finance Director Leaman followed up with an overview of the Capital Improvement Program. Noted changes to the CIP include: new projects like Vehicle Replacement, Traffic Signal Rehabilitation, and Upgrade to City Coordinate System; additional funding for ongoing infrastructure upgrades; and $1,000,000 for Stormwater Management Projects. The Proforma and the Capital Improvement Plan serve as the blueprint for City operations for the coming fiscal year. Finance Director Miller continued laying financial groundwork in the following meeting by providing an in-depth review of the Balance Sheet, changes in Fund Balance, and the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR). Director Miller also provided a brief walkthrough of his worksheet that was used during the Union Negotiations. The worksheet provided increased transparency during the negotiations by calculating the financial ramifications of changes in pension and payroll expenses. This meeting also included a review of the whitepaper prepared by the Financial Advisory Commission titled “Collaborative Stewardship: Guiding Principles and Metrics for City of Annapolis Financial Improvement” (see attachment A). This document recommends various structural and operational remedies for the City’s financial improvement. These introductory meetings laid out the foundation for the continued budget discussions. Each City Department was requested to appear before the Finance Committee and present its prior year accomplishments, any significant changes to the budget from FY 2017 to FY 2018, and any requests for additional funding. These meeting took place over a two week period. Department of Public Works Director David Jarrell, Assistant Director Marcia Patrick, and Chief of Engineers Sam Brice were present at Finance Committee to provide an update of departmental accomplishments and answer questions from the Committee. Highlights of the City of Annapolis Page 3 Printed on 6/13/2017 City Council Regular Minutes - Final May 8, 2017 Public Works presentation include: the Water Treatment Plant coming online and beginning its “Demonstration Period,” the kick-off of the City Dock Flood Mitigation project, the upcoming re-bricking of Main Street, and an update that all power has been sold at the Energy Park. The presentation concluded with Director Jarrell and Chief of Engineers Brice answering specific questions related to the Capital Improvement Program and the status of current projects. Fire Department and Office of Emergency Management Chief David Stokes and Deputy Chief Kevin Simmons were present at Finance Committee to provide an update of departmental accomplishments and answer questions from the Committee. Highlights from the discussion with the Fire Department include: an update on the committee work regarding sprinklers and regulated fire alarms within the historic district, the success of the expired flare and firework program, the success of the smoke detector program, and the impact of the SAFER grant on operations and expenses. Chief Stokes requested an increase in Fire Department overtime expenses of $125,000. This requested increase is to address difficulties staying within the existing overtime budget and new demands on overtime use as a result of the SAFER grant hires. Police Department Acting Chief Scott Baker and Captain Chris Amoia were present at Finance Committee to provide an update of departmental accomplishments and answer questions from the Committee. Highlights from the discussion with the Police Department include: updates on the body-worn camera program, update on Community Policing initiative, and adequate public facility compliance. Acting Chief Baker requested additional funding for a new Captain position. This Captain position would oversee the Community Policing initiative. The Police Department also requested additional funding for a mobile crisis counselor. Transportation Director Rick Gordon and Dr. Kwaku Duah were present at Finance Committee to provide an update of departmental accomplishments and answer questions from the Committee. Highlights from the discussion with the Transportation Department include: implementation of the new electronic farebox system, a new cost-savings uniform contract, discussions regarding the operations of the Circulator, and potential changes to downtown signage to be more accommodating to taxi service providers. Director Gordon requested a conversion of the Fleet Manager position from contractual to civil service. Recreation & Parks Acting Director Archie Trader, Harbormaster Beth Mauk, Division Chief Caryn Walaski, and Community Health/Aquatics Supervisor Jennifer Jennings were present at Finance Committee to provide an update of departmental accomplishments and answer questions from the Committee. Highlights from the discussion with the Recreation & Parks department include: upgrades to Davis and Turner Parks as a result of a DNR grant, another successful year of the Mighty Milers program, the continuation of the Get Smart Club in partnership with St. Anne’s Church, and the award of a DNR grant for the purchase of a new pump-out boat. There was additional discussion regarding funding for equipment maintenance and new equipment purchases, the facility fee being charged by the County for use of Title 1 schools for the latchkey program, and the appropriate level of staffing at the Harbormaster office. Acting Director Trader requested additional operating funds to pay for the latchkey related facility fee and the conversion of an administrative position from contractual to civil service. Planning & Zoning Director Pete Gutwald and Dr. Sally Nash were present at Finance Committee to provide an update of departmental accomplishments and answer questions from the Committee. Director Gutwald provided a spreadsheet detailing the work that Planning City of Annapolis Page 4 Printed on 6/13/2017 City Council Regular Minutes - Final May 8, 2017 & Zoning has completed as it related to requirements included within the Comprehensive Plan. Highlights from the discussion with Planning & Zoning include: an update on the complete re-organization of Planning & Zoning and DNEP, Housing Authority of the City of Annapolis (HACA) inspections, completion of the Upper West Street Sector Study, completion of the pedestrian portion of the Wayfinding project, and the August 2017 anticipated completion of the Cultural Hazard Mitigation Plan. Director Gutwald requested additional funding for a Planner position. Overhead Department’s (Mayor’s Office, Public Information Office, Law, Environmental Policy, Management Information Technology (MIT), Finance, Purchasing) Representatives from the “Overhead” Departments were present to answer questions from the Finance Committee. Public Information Officer Rhonda Wardlaw provided explanation for her $6,000 increase in her operating budget. City Manager Tom Andrews and Chief of Staff/Ombudsman Tara Hargadon answered questions regarding staffing. Human Resources Manager Tricia Hopkins was available to provide an update on union negotiations and the status of a Rules & Regulations re-write. Director Maria Broadbent spoke to the upcoming challenges that the Office of Environmental Policy would face; specifically the additional projects necessary for the MS4 Permit compliance. There was also discussion regarding the cross-departmental coordination necessary for incorporating environmental concerns into comprehensive planning and review. MIT Manager Barbara Smith provided updates to the Committee regarding the new City website, the automation of the GIS process, and the status of the Harborline re-draw. Assistant Director Melissa Leaman and Operations Manager Nicole Pletzer spoke to the Finance Departments budgetary increase for funding of the OpenGov transparency platform and the necessity for a Budget Analyst within the department. Procurement Officer Brian Snyder and Acting City Attorney Ashley Leonard provided brief operational updates to the Finance Committee in regards to Purchasing and Law. At this point in the budget process the Finance Committee had heard testimony from the Finance Director as to the contents and direction of the budget and they had heard from the departments directly regarding needs and wants. The next step was to hear from the Financial Advisor’s for the City, Davenport and Company, to examine the proposed Capital Improvement Program and its impact on the City’s debt levels. The focus of the Davenport presentation was to discuss the City’s compliance with its existing policies for tax-supported debt and then look forward using the current CIP as a guide to evaluate future compliance and potential strategies to address noncompliance. Five various strategies were presented to the Finance Committee (see attachment B). Following the presentation by Davenport, Director Jarrell, Public Works, and Assistant Director Leaman, Finance, were present to summarize the proposed FY 2018 projects and answer any questions in relation to the plan. As a final step in reviewing all aspects of the FY 2018 Budget, the Finance Committee heard the Community Grant allocation recommendations from the grants committee, reviewed the Fine Schedule, the Fee Schedule, and the Pay Plan. Director Miller also provided a policy document to the Finance Committee, “Fund Balance Reserve Policy” (see attachment C). This policy incorporates existing Fund Balance requirements with new unassigned Fund Balance categories to better situate the City for a strong financial future. The intent of Finance and the Finance Committee is that this policy will be transitioned into legislation and formally adopted by the full City Council. Concluding the investigative portion of the budget hearings, the Finance Committee turned its attention to providing amendments to the proposed budget and ancillary legislation. Budgetary Recommendations O-21-17: Annual Operating Budget City of Annapolis Page 5 Printed on 6/13/2017 City Council Regular Minutes - Final May 8, 2017 Amendment #1 Additional $100,000 for Fire Department Overtime Rationale: The Fire Department applied for and was awarded the SAFER grant which provides funding for an additional 12 firefighters. These additional firefighters require adequate training, which is provided by existing firefighters through the use of overtime funds. The Fire Department has struggled historically to stay within its Overtime budget and has requested an increase for multiple budget cycles. An increase in Ambulance Fee revenues, which is already included in the proposed budget, has been designated as the offset to the budgetary increase. Amendment #2 Additional $15,000 for Latchkey Program: Recreation & Parks Rationale: The Board of Education has imposed a space usage fee of $10.00/per person, per morning and afternoon, for use of space in Title 1 schools. Two of the seven Latchkey programs operate out of Title 1 schools. This increase in the Operating Budget will be offset by an increase in Latchkey Program fees. Amendment #3 Additional $161,950 for City Manager’s Office Rationale: This funding is for two new positions within the City of Annapolis: Internal Auditor and Attorney to City Council. Both positions would report directly to the City Manager. The Internal Auditor position would also report to an Audit Committee that has yet to be established.
