FISCAL YEAR Departments. Said resolution is prepared in accordance with Idaho
2017 BUDGET Code §63-802.
In response to a question from Council, Joyce Stroschein, Chief Financial Officer/Treasurer, explained
that cities are allowed to levy tax revenue increases, up to 3%, each fiscal year. She added that if the
Council chooses not to receive the funds, the amount is withheld and can be requested by the City at a
later date. Ms. Stroschein stated that the proposed levy amount is a result of those tax dollars that the
Council has not taken in prior years. She explained that it was determined an additional $18,807.00 was
necessary to take care of critical needs in the Fire Department and Police Department. Ms. Stroschein
added that the Council has nearly $1.4 million in levied funds available, but have been very frugal and
conservative by only asking for the proposed $18,807.00 at this time.

submitted for publication. Upon roll call, those voting in favor were Johnston, Brown, Adamson, Bray,
Moore and Orr.
Dean Tranmer, City Attorney, read the ordinance by title.
Mr. Bray stated he feels the Council has not done due diligence to attain a satisfactory budget. He stated
41% of the community struggles to make ends meet and an alternate City budget could help alleviate
that. Mr. Bray feels employee compensation is still behind in market valuation and that a reduction in
workforce could assist in reducing the budget.
Mr. Orr stated he feels Mr. Bray’s comments are a contradiction, since he feels the proposed budget is
quite conservative and increasing employee salaries would have further increased the levy rate.
Mr. Brown stated he feels the Council and staff members have worked more on the current budget
through the budgeting process than in any other year. He stated that mistakes made by the Bannock
County Assessor and other events have resulted in revenue losses to the City.
Mr. Bray stated that the overall valuation for property owners has not kept pace with inflation. He
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING 9

understands that the City has to spend money to keep up with necessary equipment and staffing needs
and that cutting out key positions is not a suitable option. Mr. Johnston emphasized that he feels Mayor
Blad has kept the Council well-informed regarding the replacement of employee positions before
approving the hiring of employees, when necessary. He reiterated that it is essential to continue to
provide good services to Pocatello citizens.
Mayor Blad stated that he is frustrated with the negative comments being offered by Mr. Bray. He feels
the Council and department heads have worked hard to construct a good, solid, reasonable and
