Staff Recommendation Approve the schedule of proposed changes and City Council changes. Approve Appropriations Ordinance 19-O-12. Approve Tax Rate Ordinance 19-O-13. Background Information The FY 20 Budget was submitted to City Council on May 15, 2019. Since that time, the following corrections and clarifications have been identified: 1. Salary and benefits for a Police Sergeant and Communications Specialist II that was inadvertently omitted from the original budget. These positions are reflected in the position count for the Police Department. 2. Maintenance vehicles of $99,500 and Traffic vehicles of $71,820 were budgeted for and ordered in FY 19. These vehicles will not be delivered by the manufacturer until FY 20 and those costs must to be re-budgeted for FY 20. 3. Purchase of a phone system for City Hall and other City facilities to implement the City’s VOIP communication plan. The current phone system is quickly failing and is no longer supported by the manufacturer nor are parts any longer stocked for repair. The equipment purchase is expected to be processed in FY 19 at a cost of $150,000. Installation and annual maintenance charges will occur in FY 20 at an approximate cost of $65,000. 4. Transportation is requesting to replace 1 full-time operator that was budgeted as part of the Saturday service pilot program to 1 part-time operator instead. This will require an addition to head count by 1 for part-time and a reduction to head count for full-time by 1. This will result in a decrease to the budget by $3,770.  5. Drug Fund revenues are being reduced to reflect the current trend for the past three years. Expenditures have been reduced to reflect the revenue reduction. This includes eliminating the transfer of $100,000 from Drug Fund to General Fund for use of overtime and reducing the transfer from General Fund to Drug Fund for Drug Fines by $75,000. Fiscal Impacts Increased expenses of $332,550; $100,000 decrease in General Fund revenues. Drug Fund revenues decrease by $165,000 and expenditures decrease by $315,000. Attachments: 1.

Staff Recommendation Approve 19-R-10 to provide other post-employment benefits for retirees for FY 20. Background Information The City (excluding school, cemetery and electric department employees) provides medical insurance benefits for retirees. The available benefit is based on the employee’s age at retirement and number of years of service. The City has chosen to use the pay- as-you-go method of funding. Since the benefit is not a part of the City’s pension or retirement plans, an annual election whether to continue providing the benefit is required. The attached resolution describes the eligibility requirements and the cost to the employee. GASB 75 information is also disclosed, which requires the City to disclose the OPEB liability based on the assumption that the City will continue to offer the current benefits in the future. Fiscal Impacts The FY 20 budget includes OPEB benefits based on the same basis as currently offered in FY 19. Attachments: Resolution 19-R-10  APPROVED AS TO FORM BY CITY ATTORNEY ON 05/24/19 RESOLUTION 19-R-10 to provide other post-employment benefits for retirees for FY 2019-2020. WHEREAS, the City of Murfreesboro has chosen to provide post-employment benefits other than a pension to its retirees in previous fiscal years; and, WHEREAS, the City of Murfreesboro wishes to provide other post-employment benefits (“OPEB”) to its retirees for Fiscal Year 2019-2020 in the form of allowing said retirees to participate in the City’s Health Benefits Plan on a cost shared basis under certain terms and conditions; and, WHEREAS, for this OPEB purpose, the City includes the Water and Sewer Department, but not the Murfreesboro City School System, the Murfreesboro Electric Department, or the Evergreen Cemetery; and, WHEREAS, the City has heretofore chosen, and is choosing again for the upcoming fiscal year to pay the cost of providing the City portion of the insurance benefit with current revenue and not to set aside funds for the City’s OPEB obligation; and, WHEREAS, although funded from current revenues, providing such other post- employment benefits means that the City is required to estimate the future cost of continuing to provide the benefits and to include said cost estimate in its comprehensive annual financial report as an accrued liability (although it is under no legal obligation to continue to maintain the benefits) under current GASB (General Accounting Standards Board) standards; and, WHEREAS, to comply with GASB standards, the total OPEB obligation is projected every two years by the City’s actuary, Findley, and their projection of the estimated net OPEB obligation for all employees for all years for purposes of GASB 75 was $138,045,475 as of June 30, 2019 as projected July 1, 2018; and, WHEREAS, in light of all of the foregoing, the City Council is choosing to recognize the service provided to the City and its taxpayers by its retired employees by continuing the option for retirees to obtain OPEB benefits for the upcoming fiscal year. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MURFREESBORO, TENNESSEE, AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. A City employee may continue to participate in the City’s Health Benefits Plan after retirement for FY 2019-2020 if either: a) the employee has attained age 55, has completed 15 years of continuous service with the City, has had 5 years of continuous coverage in the City’s Health Benefits Plan in the 5 years preceding the employee’s retirement, and the City employee has retired under the City’s pension plan; OR, b) the employee has completed 30 years of continuous service with the City, has had 5 years of continuous coverage in the City’s Health Benefits Plan immediately preceding retirement, and the City employee has retired under the City’s pension plan. SECTION 2. Retired employees meeting the eligibility requirement in Section 1 may participate in the City’s Health Benefits Plan until the retired employee attains age mjp \\puckett\legal\files\council\resolutions\2019\19-r-10 opeb.docx 5/20/2019 11:12:56 AM #1 65. If the employee is age 65 or greater at retirement or if the retired employee attains age 65, the employee is no longer eligible to participate in the City’s Health Benefits Plan, but is eligible to participate in the City’s Medicare Supplement Plan. SECTION 3. The cost of a retired employee’s participation in the City’s Health Benefits Plan or in the Medicare Supplement Plan will be shared between the retired employee and the City with the retired employee paying approximately 20% of the cost and the City paying approximately 80% of the cost. For FY 2019-2020, the cost of participating in the Health Benefits Plan will be the slightly lower for retired employees than for non-retired employees. For FY 2019-2020, the retired employee’s monthly cost to participate in the Medicare Supplement Plan will be: $100.20 for individual coverage; $200.40 for individual plus child(ren) coverage; $200.40 for individual plus spouse coverage; and, $300.60 for family coverage. The retired employee, or eligible spouse or eligible dependent, must pay the participant’s cost of such Health Benefits Plan or Medicare Supplement Plan coverage when and as directed by the Human Resources Department. SECTION 4. Eligible retired employees and/or their spouses may participate in the City’s Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) - Medicare Plan without any cost to them. Participants will receive $180.00 (or $360.00 for family coverage) per month to use for qualified medical expenses. SECTION 5. This Resolution shall be effective immediately upon its passage and adoption, the public welfare and the welfare of the City requiring it.
