NEW BUSINESS NB-46 PERFORMANCE EVALUATION CITY CLERK APPLICANT: MAYOR AND COUNCIL Annual Performance Evaluation for City Clerk Sabrina Mercadante. Sabrina Mercadante, City Clerk, reported that staff focused on cost-savings and customer-service improvements this past year. She noted that significant savings were realized by outsourcing services, eliminating equipment, maintenance, and supplies. She said her office managed substantial increases in workload and performed above expectations while staffing levels remained unchanged. Ms. Mercadante stated that her office created and implemented the City-wide Vital Records Plan, Records Emergency Action Plan, and the Continuity of Operations Plan. In support of the City’s transparency efforts, she explained that an agreement was executed to achieve full implementation of a single point of public access to City records and historical information. This project will be fully implemented in 2015. Henderson City Council Regular Meeting Page 28 of 33 September 2, 2014 – Minutes Ms. Mercadante also reported on the agenda process standardization efforts, and noted that her staff continues to work closely with the City Attorney's Office to update the Henderson Municipal Code. Ms. Mercadante reviewed personal accomplishments and next year’s goals. She commented that a detailed report was provided to the Council. She thanked the Council for the opportunity to serve, and thanked the City Clerk's Office for another successful year. Councilwoman March commended Ms. Mercadante for her leadership and staff’s hard work. She said it is important that the first contact with the public at City Clerk's Office be premier. She supports the efforts to ensure compliance with the Nevada Open Meeting Law and working with the City Attorney's Office to move the boards and commissions under one form of management is commendable and provides for consistency and standardization. Councilwoman Schroder thanked Ms. Mercadante for her hard work throughout the year and understands that workload has increased with less staff. Councilman Bateman said Ms. Mercadante is striving to improve the technical aspect of getting information to the general public, and he believes the Council should support that effort. Mayor Hafen commented that Ms. Mercadante accomplished her 2014 goals and her 2015 goals are spot on. He noted that her hard work has not gone unnoticed. (Motion) Mayor Andy Hafen moved to accept the annual performance evaluation of City Clerk Sabrina Mercadante.

NB-47 FINANCIAL UPDATE FINANCE DEPARTMENT Presentation and update by the Finance Department on the current financial position of the City. Henderson City Council Regular Meeting Page 29 of 33 September 2, 2014 – Minutes Richard Derrick, Chief Financial Officer, reported that the Consolidated Tax revenue in June totaled $8.1 million. He stated that the largest increases in taxable sales collections were in miscellaneous store retailers, merchant wholesalers, food services and drinking places, motor vehicle and parts dealers, and professional, scientific, and technical services. He said the revised Consolidated Tax formula is functioning as intended and exceeding projections. Mr. Derrick noted that the City Manager has engaged the entire executive team to work on strategies to mitigate the City’s operating deficit projected in the 2015 final budget in an effort to achieve a balanced general operating fund budget by the end of the calendar year. (Motion) Mayor Andy Hafen moved to accept the presentation and update by the Finance Department on the current financial position of the City. The roll call vote favoring passage was: Those voting aye: Sam Bateman, Andy Hafen, Debra March, John F. Marz, and Gerri Schroder. Those voting nay: None. Those absent: None. Those abstaining: None.

NB-48 PROPERTY TAX RATE BALLOT QUESTION CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE Discussion and possible action to direct staff to draft a ballot question to address the City’s capital infrastructure deficit and deferred maintenance needs by increasing the City’s property tax rate up to twenty cents for a total rate not to exceed ninety-one cents. Jacob Snow, City Manager, showed a PowerPoint presentation entitled “Keeping Henderson Premier.” He noted several awards presented to Henderson because of our international reputation for excellence and high quality of life. He explained the “iceberg” analogy depicting an operating shortfall up to $5 million and $17 million infrastructure reinvestment needed annually. Mr. Snow reviewed slides regarding the Special Budget Ad Hoc Committee recommendations, public outreach efforts, a summary of annual City of Henderson infrastructure deficits, property tax rates comparisons, property tax caps, and legislative relief possibilities. Mr. Snow recommended the City Council wait to see what happens at the 2015 legislative session before deciding to put a question on the ballot to increase property taxes. Jim Mason, 490 Toucan Ridge Court, stated that he is not opposed to raising the property tax rate, but is not sure now is the appropriate time as small businesses are still suffering from the economic downturn. He agreed that the City should wait to see what the legislature does. Henderson City Council Regular Meeting Page 30 of 33 September 2, 2014 – Minutes Billy Swartz, 2607 Crested Butte Street, Sun City Anthem resident, reviewed other tax increases that residents will pay, and believes that now is not the time to put another tax increase before the voters. Tim Brooks, 120 Market Street, Chairman of the Special Budget Ad Hoc Committee, thanked Mr. Snow for the presentation. He stated that he is proud to live in Henderson and believes Henderson is a premier city. He noted that he is willing to pay a little more to ensure the investment in our city. He asked the City Council to make sure the property tax initiative gets on a ballot in the near future. Robert Anderson, 2343 Dolphin Court, stated that the City needs to put this issue on the 2015 ballot so the citizens of this community can vote. He expressed concern that the Legislature is not going to fix the property tax issue. Councilwoman March stated that she is proud of the City, as well as the leadership of the City Manager and the executive team. She thanked City Manager Snow and the staff for discussing these issues at community meetings to get citizen input. She noted that she understands both sides of the issue and everyone must work together to find solutions. She stated that economists feel that recovery is still fragile. Councilwoman March agreed that it would be prudent to have conversations with the legislature regarding property tax issues. She believes we are moving in a positive direction, but need to consider underlying dynamics. Councilman Marz stated that this issue should go to the vote of the people through a ballot question, and the residents need to make the decision whether to invest in this community. Councilwoman Schroder said the City must reinvest in our infrastructure to remain a premier city. She hopes to work with the legislature to find ways to provide relief for local governments in the state. She noted that she would like more information before putting this issue on a ballot question. Responding to several questions by Councilman Bateman regarding the Council raising property taxes unilaterally, Mr. Derrick explained that the Council does have limited flexibility to raise property taxes. The Supplemental City County Relief Tax (SCCRT) is calculated every year, and it is .07 cents this year. He noted that challenges include the amount being different each year and it is subject to the cap. He stated that a vote per a ballot question would be outside of the cap. Henderson City Council Regular Meeting Page 31 of 33 September 2, 2014 – Minutes Regarding depreciation concerns, Mr. Derrick said the state of Nevada is unique, that our homes depreciate in value 1.5 percent for the purposes of taxes. He noted that it is a challenge to provide levels of service when the tax base is constantly eroding. He stated that eliminating the value depreciation would provide approximately $400,000.00 to the City of Henderson the first year, and that amount would compound every year after. Councilman Bateman asked how property taxes in other jurisdictions in the valley are so much higher than Henderson. Mr. Derrick responded that North Las Vegas had several ballot question overrides that were approved by the community, many of which related to public safety issues. He noted that Henderson asked the voters in 2000 to raise property taxes for additional police officers; however, that initiative was defeated. Councilman Bateman thanked Mr. Snow and the Special Budget Ad Hoc Committee for their hard work. He acknowledged fundamental changes that have been made in an effort to balance the budget. He said he thinks the legislature will have to look at property tax caps and depreciation issues. He stated that he is not comfortable putting a ballot question to increase property taxes on the 2015 ballot. Councilman Bateman said this issue needs to be driven by the private sector with a show that the general public will support the effort. Councilman Marz explained that the City has done well with the current property tax at .71 cents because the development fees paid for many things during the boom years. When the development fees went away due to the economic downturn, the infrastructure costs continue to grow. He stated that it is his understanding the legislature cannot raise the three-percent tax cap to any other number without a two-thirds vote. He noted that the legislature can get around this issue by allowing the cities to increase property taxes. Councilman Marz maintained that it is important to let the citizens decide on a property tax increase. He recommended a possible graduated property tax increase or a sunset clause to lessen the burden on citizens. Councilwoman March suggested that more analysis should be done to understand true costs. She noted that staff will continue to work and solve the economic challenges facing the City. Mayor Hafen stated that he appreciates the Special Budget Ad Hoc Committee’s hard work, and believes the City is operating more efficiently by implementing their recommendations. He said the City could wait to see what the legislature does in 2015 and then act accordingly. He asked if a ballot question could be to give the City the ability to raise the property tax up to 20 cents. Henderson City Council Regular Meeting Page 32 of 33 September 2, 2014 – Minutes Josh Reid, City Attorney, stated that a property tax question can be written different ways, and there should be more certainty in the language. He expressed concern of being too vague and residents not knowing what they are voting on. Councilman Marz said it is important for the Council to stand united, and it does not send the right message to the community if the Council cannot agree on the best approach for this issue. He commented that he would be willing to support an initiative to wait to see what the legislature does; however, if the legislature does not give cities the tools to solve this problem, we then go to 2016 in November with a ballot question to the citizens to vote on a property tax increase. (Motion) Mayor Andy Hafen moved to table the discussion until after the 2015 legislative session. The roll call vote favoring passage was: Those voting aye: Sam Bateman, Andy Hafen, Debra March, John F. Marz, and Gerri Schroder. Those voting nay: None. Those absent: None. Those abstaining: None. Mayor Hafen declared the motion carried. X. MAYOR\COUNCILMEMBER COMMENTS No Mayor or Councilmember comments were presented. XI.
