Douglas reported he would be working with City staff to clean up the debris and silting around the creek area similar to what was done in the Kreymer Estates.

Manson reviewed some assumptions which included a 9% increase in estimated property value and a 5% increase in sales tax for FY 2015/2016 on the revenue side. Expenditures assumed a 10% increase in employee health insurance, a Public Safety step increase, and the implementation of merit- based salary increases; based on performance for non-sworn personnel. This assumption also includes base revenue and expenditures for each department. Factoring in these assumptions, the estimated excess balance for FY 2015/16 is approximately $1,981,000. Manson reported there were 35 requests for new or upgraded personnel positions totaling to $1,806,449 with equipment costs associated with new personnel estimated at $344,446. Non-Personnel requests from all departments totaled $2,428,522. These costs were not included in the assumptions. Manson reviewed the General Fund Balance for 2015/2016 to be 30%, included in that percentage is the use of $200,000 for Debt Service. She reported this percentage was above the reserve fund goal of 25%. Department presentations will take place July 16, 2015 and July 21, 2016 to continue the budget discussions.
