The council is expected to defer decisions until next month. Budget director Renena Smith delivered a brief overview of the budget, which includes projected general fund revei $214.6 million in the budget year that begins July 1. The general fund is money spent at the discretion of the mayor council. The council was given an overview of aviation department and finance department budgets in the morning. It revie� budgets for the City Clerk's Office and City Attorney's O�ce in the afternoon. The council today is expected to review budgets for the police and fire departments, which consume the bulk of the general fund. Swearengin has given the council two nearly identical scenarios to close the budget gap. Their differences are in h close the last $5 million of the gap. The first scenario, which Swearengin supports, calls for outsourcing the city's corrmercial trash-collection service wage reduction for all employees. The latter would require the employees' consent. The outsourcing proposal would generate an estimated $1.9 million next year in franchise fees paid by two compar over the service, the city says. The second scenario assumes council rejection of outsourcing and employee rejection of the wage concession. In scenario, Swearengin proposes a long list of cuts, including the closing of municipal swirrming pools, the shutterinc fire stations, two additional weeks of furloughs for many employees and reduction in the senior hot meals program. Council President Lee Brand on Monday said that he supports outsourcing corrrr�ercial trash collection, adding tha has few options left. Brand, who has supported the outsourcing proposal in the past, said the annual franchise fees that the city would r represent a substantial portion of the general fund budget after deducting police and fire costs and debt payments. "We're cutting from a devastated budget," Brand said. 'There are no easy solutions." I.odi reaches deals with nearly all labor groups � Recordnet.com http://www.recordnet.com/apps/pbcs.dll/artic News LODI REACHES DEALS WITH NEARLY ALL LABOR GROUPS Print th� Articfe Emai th's Article Text S¢e: A � A � A By 1 �e Record May 23, 2011 May 23, 2011 12:00 AM LODI - The city of Lodi has reached agreement in contract talks with all but three of its labor groups, who concessions will mean a savings to the city of about $5 million a year. Terms of the agreements will be made public June 1, but city officials publicly thanked those bargaining un Wednesday night's City Council meeting. Mayor Bob Johnson called it "a significant amount of money," $5 million a year, and said he hoped it woulc the city soon have a balanced budget without making major personnel or service cuts. The city had been facing a budget shortfall of more than $6 million. The only groups who have not yet come to terms with the city are police, dispatchers and fire managemei although the city is close to a deal with the fire management group, City Attorney Stephen Schwabauer s� Schwabauer and Johnson pointed out that the move made by the firefighters, who agreed to wage conce: without taking furloughs, will help save money without a reduction in staffing. Firefighter concessions included employees paying up to 5.3 percent of their salaries into retirement acco Elsewhere, city workers agreed to pay up to 7 percent of their salaries into their retirement accounts and unpaid furloughs. In addition, they have agreed to lowest-cost medical insurance. In other action, the council voted 4-0 to increase wastewater rates by 5 percent beginning in July. Council Joanne Mounce was absent.

NFay 25. 2t Posted on Mon, May. 23. 2011 SLO may cut more from its workers AnnMarie Cornejo San Luis Obispo employees will be asked to forgo $2.6 million in salary and compensation to help balance the city's budget —$500,000 more than first proposed by city staff. Those reductions, in addition to $1.8 million in operating cuts, are outline� in the city's draft two-year 2011-13 budget, released Friday. The cuts eliminate 13 jobs, reduce training opportunities for most employees and will likely cause delays in some city services, such as the review of building permits. Most of the 13 positions being cut — saving $1 million — are vacant now or are expected to be soon because of retirement or transfers, including two police officer positions. The proposed cuts to employee compensation grew from the $2.1 million originally proposed by staff to $2.6 million to make up for an assortment c requests made by the City Council at its first budget hearing in April. The city faces a$4.4 million shortfall in its $54 million annual general func for the fiscal year 2011-12 that begins July 1. That shortfall will grow to $` million in 2013-14 and is projected to be $4.7 million annually for each of the next five years. Among the changes initiated by the council in April was the addition of tw full-time positions and one part-time position for neighborhood services specialists at a cost of $156,200 in 2011-12 and $205,000 in 2012-13. Those jobs were created to deal with nuisances such as noise, cars parked in front yards, excess trash and debris in yards, and illegally converted living spaces. The council rejected a proposal to charge residents for street sweeping and restored funding that was proposed to be cut for the city's visitor center and the promotional coordinating committee. It also returned to th� budget the cost of repairing the steps leading up to City Hall. Employees will be asked to make concessions by paying more for their retirement and health insurance and working for less pay. Those change: must be negotiated with employee groups. The city expects to begin tho: talks in the fall. City Manager Katie Lichtig would not speculate on what would happen if those talks failed to net the needed savings, saying that only two choice: would remain: to increase revenues or to cut more from the city's operating costs.
