Because the minutes are not a verbatim record of the proceedings, the minutes are not a word-for-word transcript. PUBLIC HEARING Amend Street Performer Ordinance Mayor Yepsen opened the public hearing at 7:03 p.m. No one spoke. Mayor Yepsen closed the public hearing at 7:04 p.m. CALL TO ORDER Mayor Yepsen called the meeting to order at 7:04 p.m. Mayor Yepsen asked for a moment of silence for the people of Las Vegas. Page 3 of 12 City Council Meeting 10/3/17 PUBLIC COMENT Mayor Yepsen said the public comment period is limited to a total of 15 minutes and individuals are limited to two minutes. Mayor Yepsen opened the public comment period at 7:07 p.m. Darlene McGraw of Saratoga Springs thanked the Council for claiming October domestic violence month. Suzanne Kwasnewski of Saratoga Springs stated our tax base is underutilized as our assessment is out of date. The last reassessment was 2005; the burden is on newer purchasers. It is her opinion that the commissioner will marginalize the summary to raise doubts about the new Charter proposed. Please vote for the new Charter. Mayor Yepsen closed the public comment period at 7:12 p.m. Commissioner Franck responded with the state looks at fair market value when basing our tax value. If the Charter Commission would like to come out with re-assessing the City, they should come out and say that. They have no idea what the cost is to re-assess this city. The majority of municipalities are not at 100%. We spent between $4 - $5 million dollars defending all the lawsuits from the re-assessment done in 2005. Commissioner Mathiesen stated he applauds the Accounts Department and their work with being able to compare properties across the City. He does believe it is time for re-assessment. Commissioner Franck advised the State of New York stated the City is equitable. They do trending analysis so the level changes from year to year. PRESENATIONS 2018 Comprehensive Budget Commissioner Madigan stated the complete comprehensive budget and message can now be found on th line. This is the 6 budget she has presented to the City. We go into this budget with solid reserves, a high bond rating, and a healthy fund balance. This has been achieved with virtually no tax increase in the past several years. We also have 14 retirements scheduled for 2018 which adds additional strain on our limited resources. The 2018 Comprehensive Budget calls for a general operating budget of approximately $46.1 million, a 1.3% increase from the 2017 adopted budget. Revenue - The largest single source of revenue for the City continues to be property tax. The second largest revenue source is sales tax and the mortgage tax trend has been upward. We have kept the VLT aid and occupancy tax flat for 2018. Expenses - Personnel and benefits continue to be the largest expense in the budget. Personnel expenses are up 3.3% in 2018 due to increased head count and contractual wages. Benefit related costs are up 1.9% in 2018 due to increased health costs and 14 expected retirements. Fund Balance - The City utilizes 2 types of fund balance – restricted and unassigned. Restricted Fund Balance represents reserves which are funded throughout the year for a variety of reasons, including capital projects, retirement expenses, and City debt. The total Fund Balance usage in the 2018 Comprehensive Budget is $2.5 million. This total is made up of roughly $1.0 million of Restricted Fund Balance and $1.5 million of Unassigned Fund balance. Capital Budget - Two items have been removed from the capital budget by the Finance Commissioner. The first is the replacement of a fire engine for $455,000, which has been moved to the 2019 Capital Budget Program. The second item is the East Side Fire/EMS Facility, which was included in the initial 2018 Page 4 of 12 City Council Meeting 10/3/17 Capital Budget request for $3 million. This was removed because to date we have not identified or purchased the actual land to build such a facility. (presentation attached) Corrective Analysis of Charter Review Commission’s Financial Disclosure Summary Commissioner Franck stated the financial disclosure summary was received on September 18, 2017. He felt the material was misrepresented. A City and assistant manager is going to replace the City Council members and 5 department deputies. The Commission also states the current City employees will absorb the additional hours with no additional pay through attrition. In order for a Civil Service employee to have additional work duties, their job descriptions have to be updated through Civil Service and the union has to agree to it. With the change of duties there is going to be a change in compensation. One of the big savings the Commission came up with a week ago (it wasn’t there 2 weeks ago) is there will be 2 retirees per year and those employees duties will be picked up without compensation to other City Civil Service employees. The Charter does not state there will be attrition every year of 2 people. Attrition happens in every form of government. We keep getting compared to Watertown and they are not like Saratoga Springs. Watertown does not have the attractions we have like SPAC, the track, Skidmore College, and a vibrant downtown which all makes our public works and public safety needs different. Watertown has had tax increases over the past several years with some being over the state tax cap and Saratoga Springs has been at a 0% tax increase. The Commission also presented a savings of $36,000 by doing away with benefits for the commissioners. That is not possible because only Commissioner Madigan would possibly be eligible if she remained here for another 4 years and 3 months. Other than her, the next group of people wouldn’t be eligible until 2028 assuming they all stay in for 10 years and met the age requirement. The Commission has stated there will be no transition costs related to the change in government or for the search of the city manager or to move that person here. Page 7 of the Commission’s analysis states the transition costs can be from $100,000 - $300,000 depending upon when the city manager is hired in 2020. These costs never made it into their analysis because they weren’t sure of the cost. He provided the numbers the Commission came up with and the numbers he came up with. (presentation attached) Commissioner Madigan stated one number that was not reviewed was the part time assistant city attorney’s benefits. His benefits are lifetime. You need to at least have a full time budget operations director. The number the Commission claims they are going to save is every year – that is not going to happen. She believes because the numbers are highly inaccurate, this is advocacy not education. Commissioner Scirocco thanked Commissioner Franck for taking the time to put this together. Whether someone is for or against the change in the form of government; you have to look at the numbers. They numbers were put together by a CPA. It appears based upon the information the Commission is putting forward, taxes will increase and services will be cut. The numbers speak for themselves and are accurate. Commissioner Mathiesen stated he finds he agrees and disagrees with pieces of the Commission’s document and Commissioner Franck’s document. In regards to attrition, the City is already working with a bare bones staff. CONSENT AGENDA Mayor Yepsen moved and Commissioner Madigan seconded to accept the consent agenda as follows: 1.

Mayor Yepsen moved and Commissioner Franck seconded to authorize the mayor to sign the amendment to the memorandum of understanding. Commissioner Scirocco stated he is not going to support this as the report shows there is contamination of this property. He believes they should let the agreement expire and the City should re-negotiate the agreement. Tony Izzo explained this MOU extends the expiration date of the original MOU. It is up to the Council if they want to wait for the report. Commissioner Franck asked what the outcome would be if the Council voted this down. Tony Izzo stated the MOU would expire and there is no agreement between the City and the owner for the City to examine the property any further.

Pursuant to the City Charter, the Commissioner of Finance is budget chairperson who is tasked with the preparation of the comprehensive budget which shall be submitted to the Council at the first regularly scheduled meeting of the Council in October of each year. The comprehensive budget must be submitted in balance; that is total expenditures shall not exceed total of estimated revenues as determined by the Commissioner of th Finance. In the event the Council fails to adopt a budget by November 30 of each year, the comprehensive budget shall become the budget for the ensuing fiscal year. The Commissioner of Finance projects that the amount of real property tax levy needed to finance 2018 general fund annual budget will be in excess of the 2.5% of the real property tax levy in the 2017 general operating budget. The use of the tax stabilization reserve for this projected increase is in accordance with purpose of this reserve as outlined in New York State General Municipal Law Article 2 Section 6e. Therefore, the chief executive officer recommends that the funds be used from the tax stabilization reserve as needed to balance the 2018 general fund annual budget and the City Council approved the resolution appropriating those amounts up to $732,800. Approval of this resolution will deplete this reserve.

The resolution was previously submitted with the agenda. Roll Call: Commissioner Franck – Aye Commissioner Madigan – Aye Commissioner Scirocco – Aye Commissioner Mathiesen – Aye Mayor Yepsen – Aye The resolution is as follows: RESOLUTION (For Expenditure of Contingency and Tax Stabilization Reserve Fund) WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Saratoga Springs established the Contingency and Tax Stabilization Reserve Fund (“Tax Stabilization Reserve”) on July 5, 2011 to, among other things, lessen or prevent projected increases in excess of 2 ½ percent of the amount of the real property tax levy needed to finance the general fund portion of the annual budget as described in New York State General Municipal Law Article 2, § 6-E; and Page 8 of 12 City Council Meeting 10/3/17 WHEREAS, pursuant to the City Charter, the Commissioner of Finance is Budget Chairperson, who is tasked with the preparation of a Comprehensive Budget which shall be submitted to the Council at the first regularly scheduled meeting of the Council in October of each year.

This event was tarnished by comments made by the vice-chair of the Charter Commission. He stated there wasn’t a trail connection through the solar park because of departmental in-fighting. It was never the City’s plan to include a trail in the Spa Solar Park. **City Council took a break at 9:28 p.m. **City Council returned at 9:32 p.m. PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT Discussion and Vote: Authorization for the Mayor to Sign Curbing & Sidewalk Agreements (17-325) Commissioner Scirocco advised of the following curb and sidewalk agreements: • Chris Canastar at 43 Madison Street – 29 linear feet for $1,015 • Denise Griffin at 20 Marvin Street – 270 square feet for $2,160 • Bill Turcotte at 48 Ash Street – 235 square feet for $1,880 • Don Braim at 23 – 25 Church Street – 220 square feet for $1,760 Commissioner Scirocco moved and Commissioner Franck seconded to authorize the mayor to sign residents’ curb and sidewalk agreements in the amounts as presented.

Commissioner Scirocco stated the Charter Review Commission has decided to include a financial summary statement with their education material which is purely opinion and lacking factual basis. Considering attrition as a potential saving is a legislative decision they cannot make. Commissioner Madigan stated the financial statement is just not accurate. Commissioner Franck stated if they can change the fiscal analysis or do a forecast out. The numbers are materially misrepresented in his professional opinion. Commissioner Mathiesen stated he doesn’t agree with the Commission’s assessment of savings through attrition. He heard Commissioner Madigan say in her presentation tonight that no matter what form of government we have things are going to get harder down the road. Ayes – 3 Nays – 2 (Mayor Yepsen and Commissioner Mathiesen) PUBLIC SAFETY DEPARTMENT Announcement: Bottle Water Sales Outside the Track Commissioner Mathiesen stated many years ago a code enforcement officer tried to be nice to kids by allowing them to make some money by selling water outside the track. This year things got out of hand with families selling the water rather than just kids; kids blocking the flow of traffic, and arguments reaching a level where the police needed to get involved. This situation is a drain on both police and code enforcement. The unlicensed selling of water and goods will not be permitted outside the racetrack beginning the 2018 season. Set Public Hearing: Amend Chapter 225 of the City Code Article IX Schedules, Subsection 225-93, Schedule XXVIII: Handicapped Parking Zones (B, Unlimited) Commissioner Mathiesen set a public hearing for Tuesday, October 17, 2017 at 6:40 p.m. Discussion and Vote: Amend Code of Conduct (17-327) Commissioner Mathiesen stated he is proposing to amend 2 paragraphs – 3b and 3c. Paragraph 3b will read as: “Council members are encouraged to express their points of view during meetings and are required to do so in a civil manner. Each member shall be given the opportunity to speak without interruption. Remarks shall be limited to the agenda topics under discussion. Personal attacks and disparaging comments shall be avoided.” Paragraph 3c will read as: “The presiding officer shall keep the comments of the Council members on track and in accordance with the standards cited in 3 b.” Commissioner Mathiesen moved and Mayor Yepsen seconded to accept this amendment to the Code of Conduct. Commissioner Franck stated he will not support this as this is not much different from what is already in place. Page 10 of 12 City Council Meeting 10/3/17 Mayor Yepsen stated she doesn’t see a big change but doesn’t see any harm in doing this. Commissioner Madigan stated she doesn’t want to support this as some Council members go on and on and she finds it frustrating. It is up to the mayor to take control. Ayes – 2 Nays – 3 (Commissioner Franck, Commissioner Madigan, and Commissioner Scirocco) Set Public Hearing: Amend Chapter 215 of the City Code to Establish & Include Taxi Inspection Fees Commissioner Mathiesen set a public hearing for Tuesday, October 17, 2017 at 6:35 p.m. Set Public Hearing: Amend Chapter 101 & 101A of the City Code to Establish & Include Animal Control Fees Commissioner Mathiesen set a public hearing for Tuesday, October 17, 2017 at 6:30 p.m. Announcement: Condolences to Carol Kennedy Commissioner Mathiesen expressed his condolences to Carol Kennedy and family on the loss of her son. SUPERVISORS Matt Veitch Report on Homeless Forum at Saratoga Library 9/25/17 Supervisor Veitch reported a homeless forum was held by the Shelters of Saratoga. They discussed a census they took. In the winter months, the homeless population is about 75 and goes to about 150 in the summer. The Shelters of Saratoga plans to turn to the County for help such as additional funding. Saratoga County Long-Range Capital Plan Supervisor Veitch reported a full long-range capital plan has been approved by the committee. The approximate total is $26.2 million and includes highway reconstruction, bridges, roof replacements, public safety building, etc. Peter Martin Equalization and Assessment Supervisor Martin reported the Committee met and recommended to the Board they extend the Cold War Veterans’ exemption from the County real property tax. There is also an exemption for veterans of the ‘alternative years’. They are asking the County to make the Cold War exemption indefinite and not put a sunset clause on it. They also proposed changing the name of the committee to the Real Property Tax Committee and they re-write the functions of the Committee to accurately reflect their current practice. Veterans Supervisor Martin reported there is a new location of the Veteran’s Services Agency building on Route 50, south of the City of Saratoga line.
