05/16/1989 - Minutes /114 MINUTES: Committee of the Whole Tuesday, May 16, 1989 8:45 - 11:00 p.m. City Council Conference Room City & County Building, 325 451 South State Street In Attendance: Florence Bittner, Wayne Horrocks, Sydney Fonnesbeck, Alan Hardman, Tom Godfrey, Roselyn Kirk, Willie Staler, Mayor Palmer DePaulis, Cindy Gust-Jenson, Christine Richman, Lee King, Linda Hamilton, Scott Bond, Steve Fawcett, Kevin Bergstrom, Craig Peterson, Rosemary Davis, Allen Johnson, Jill Remington, John Gust, John Hiskey, Sgt. Larry Thorum, Press 1. Lee King, Council Budget Analyst/Auditor, briefed the City Council on the proposed Fiscal Year 1989-90 Municipal Affairs Budget. Mr. King indicated that funding for the Utah Economic Development Corporation had been moved from the Office of Local Business Advocacy in the Department of Community and Economic Development. John Hiskey, Utah Economic Development Corporation, stated that the Corporation's funding request had increased because UEDC was starting a more aggressive advocacy program. The City's share of the UEDC budget was developed through a formula based 50% on the City's population and 50% on the City's sales tax receipts. Council Member Hardman asked if moving the UEDC from the regular departmental budget to the budget for Municipal Affairs would decrease the extent of the City's control over the activities of the UEDC. Craig Peterson, Director of the Department of Community and Economic Development, indicated that the change is simply an accounting procedure. The UEDC will still have a contract with the City which will be administered through the Office of Local Business Advocacy. Mr. Peterson indicated that the it is through the contract that the City executes with UEDC that the fulfillment of certain mission statements can be ensured. Council Member Fonnesbeck asked why there is funding, at $30,000, for the Olympics was included in the Municipal Affairs budget. Mr. King stated that the $30,000 could be used to fund the interim period between Salt Lake City receiving the USOC bid and funding through the sales tax from the State. However, the primary funding source would still be private donations. Jill Remington, Office of Local Business Advocacy, indicated that the $30,000 would not be expended until after the referendum in November. Mr. King stated that another line item of which the Council should be aware is the funding for the Utah League of Cities and Towns. He indicated that, in error, the schedule funds the League at $50,000 when it should actually be $60,000. The League should be funded at the full $60,000 and the Administration is currently working to identify the additional $10,000 and the Council will need to make the appropriate motions to fund the League fully on June 13. Council Member Fonnesbeck asked if Salt Lake County's contribution to the Sugar House Park Authority is equal to the City's budgeted share. Mr. King indicated that the City has budgeted $125,000 and the County has budgeted $125,000. The problem occurs with the payment of the water bill for the park. John Gust, Director of Parks and Recreation, indicated that there is a dispute over water rights to the park. The City has budgeted funding for half of the park's water bill, the water department currently carries the other half of the bill as bad debt because the County refuses to pay their share until the legal dispute is settled. Mayor DePaulis stated that another important issue pertaining to Sugar House Park is its usability. He indicated that his office has received complaints from residents who indicate that because of some of the park's policies they are unable to hold events and functions in the park. Council Member Stoler stated that the policy in question pertains to a prohibition against allowing any event in the park from which any one will make a profit. The event which is currently in dispute is a Fourth of July celebration from which the booking agent stands to make a profit. Council Member Stoler indicated that the board had voted earlier in the day concerning the event. The measure failed 3-2 with the voting divided between the City and the County representatives. Council Member Stoler stated that the City representatives had voted in favor of allowing the Fourth of July celebration to go ahead. Mr. Gust stated that the inability to fully utilize Sugar House Park has resulted in an unfair burden on Liberty Park. Council Member Stoler asked if the City currently has a policy concerning allowing for-profit events in City parks. Mr. Gust stated that there isn't currently a policy in place but that for-profit events have been held in Liberty, Riverside and Sunnyside Parks because they are the parks most conducive to large events. Council Member Stoler indicated that the City may want to consider a written policy concerning for-profit events as a way to increase revenues to our parks system. The City Council conducted a straw poll concerning staff recommendations pertaining to the Municipal Affairs budget. The Council voted 5-1 in favor of recommendation number one: That the Council approve the civic support section of the Municipal Affairs budget. The Council voted 6-0 in favor of recommendation number two: That the Council approve the Municipal Affairs section of the Municipal Affairs budget. 2. Craig Peterson, Director of Community and Economic Development, briefed the City Council on major service levels changes in his proposed Fiscal Year 1989-90 budget. Mr. Peterson indicated that the major change which has occurred in his Department is the addition of Business Licensing to the One- Stop Counter division. He stated that he has hired a new Licensing Supervisor who is in the process of improving the divisions customer relations. Mr. Peterson asked that the Council allow him 3-4 months to develop recommendations concerning the business license fee structure, the license renewal system and processing procedures. Mr. King reviewed the budget for the City Council. He indicated that operating and maintenance costs were reduced as a result of cut backs in materials purchases for the Office of Local Business Advocacy and reductions in the travel and training budgets of the divisions. The City Council voted 7-0 in favor of the staff recommendation to approve the proposed Fiscal Year 1989-90 Department of Community and Economic Development budget. Mr. King indicated that Mr. Peterson had already indicated that he was planning to fulfill the direction contained in the second staff recommendation thereby making a vote on the issue unnecessary. The second staff recommendation was as follows: The Council may wish to ask the Administration to formally review the License Enforcement Program at midyear to determine if additional revenues have been raised an, if the regulatory process has been improved. r Ji/ix W. M. "Willie' Stoler, hair ATTEST: y eco EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • COMMUNITY & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Prepared by Lee King * The Community and Economic Development budget for FY 1989-90 is $3,478,887. This total is 2.22% more than the budget approved last year. Most of the increase is because of salary and benefit adjustments and a small increase in Part-Time FTE. * The major change from the current budget is the transfer of Business Licensing from Finance to Planning and Zoning. This move was recommended by Peat Marwick in the Finance Department Audit and it was a Legislative Intent of the Council .in the current budget. License Enforcement will remain with Building and Housing. * Council may wish to review the License Enforcement Program at the midyear point in the budget to determine the payback of increasing part-time license enforcement personnel. • • COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT 1989-90 BUDGET MATERIAL CHANGES IN BUDGET The General Fund Budget for the Department of Community & Economic Development for 1989-90 is $3,478,887. This is an increase of 2.22% or $75,442 over the current budget. Personnel costs are increasing by 4.6% because of salary and benefit adjustments and a small increase in FTE. Operating and Maintenance costs are decreasing by 3.5% from $101,596 to $98,038. The majority of this reduction is in the Local Business Advocacy Division where costs will be reduced in materials and supplies. Charges & Services is decreasing by 8% from $450,245 to $415,667. Major changes in this budget category are a $27,475 decrease in Fleet Maintenance Charges and a $21,000 decrease in Other Contractual Services for two halftime contract positions in Planning and Zoning. ,Travel/Training is decreasing by, 7% from $51,642 to $48,048 with the majority of the decrease in the travel budget. A complete list of projected.travel has been included in the • department's documentation. Educational Training is increasing.by $1,995. Capital Outlay is increasing by 47% from $22,615 to $33,291. This increase is $10,000 for a copy machine and $23,000 for three computer workstations. SERVICE LEVEL CHANGE • • The Planning Division will lose two halftime contract positions assigned to work with the Board of Adjustment. These positions are not shown on the staffing document because they are contract positions paid from Other Contractual Services rather than Personal Services. Zoning Administrator cases and the administration of Board of Adjustment agendas and cases will be transferred to existing in-house staff in the Long Range Planning & Urban Design Section and One-Stop Counter. Some degree of slowdown will be experienced. With a reduction of one FTE Building Inspector II, response time on inspections and complaints may increase slightly. The Building & Housing Division is experiencing an increase in the number of complaints and inspections that have to be conducted. The division currently•processes 43% of all the complaints citywide. The position being eliminated has been vacant since January and is specifically geared towards Construction Inspections. With the slowdown in the construction market the Administration feels that there will not be any adverse impact. STAFFING CHANGES The department is increasing by 5.92 FTE over the 1988-89 Adopted Budget. The changes are: POSITION CHANGE PT-License Enforcement (2 x .5) +1 Building Inspector II -1 PT-Clerk II +1 Secretary I +.49 License Supervisor +1 License Clerk +2 Clerk II +1 PT-Clerk II +.87 Planning Intern +.83 PT-Data Entry Clerk _ -1.27 TOTAL +5.92 Planning and Zoning will be.assigned four FTE positions that were transferred along with Business License responsibilities from Finance on May • 1, 1989. The two part time license inspector and part time clerk positions show as an increases in the Staffing Document because.it is a comparison of Adopted Budget to Proposed Budget. These positions were authorized by the Council during a 1988-89 Budget Opening on February 21, 1988. At that time staff pointed out that these positions would automatically roll over to the next budget year. The department is merely continuing to implement a more aggressive license enforcement program started last February. Building & Housing will be prepared to discuss the initial results of this program during their presentation. If the program proves to be successful, it may be worthwhile to make these positions permanent. MAJOR POLICY ISSUES • The responsibility for issuing business licenses was transferred from the Finance Department to Community and Economic Development on May 1, 1989. This transfer is consistent with the recommendations of the Peat Marwick Audit of the Finance Department and the Council's intent as expressed as a Legislative Intent in the FY 1988-89 Budget. Issuing of business licenses will be accomplished by the Development Review/One Stop Office of the Planning and Zoning Division. Licensing Enforcement will continue to rest with the Building & Housing Division. The consolidation of the issuing and enforcement duties plus the increased emphasis on enforcement should result in an increase in fee generated revenues and improve the regulatory process. STAFF RECOI1(1ENIDATI0NS 1. Approve the Community and Economic budget for 1989-90 in the amount of $3,478,887. 2. Council may wish to ask the Administration to formally review the License Enforcement Program at midyear to determine if additional revenues have been raised and if the regulatory process has been improved. • DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES . ROSEMARY DAVIS Capital Planning and Programming ol'ecro, 324 SOUTH STATE STREET.ROOM 240 SALT LAKE CITY.UTAH 84111 535.7902 • May 3, 1989 TO: MAYOR PALMER DePAULIS RE: COUNCIL'S. REQUEST FOR BUDGET-INFORMATION Enclosed is the written briefing of the 1989-1990 budget information for- the Community and . Economic Development Department as has been requested by the Council. Each Division is reviewing the, specific information of their areas and will _ be prepared to discuss the budget with the Council on May 16, - 1989. (Sincerely, Craig E. Peterson Director • GL Attachments May 9, 1989 COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT 1989/1990 BUDGET A. Proposed Service Level Changes 1. The service level increase of $1,000 for Building and Housing is the printing cost of the Salt Lake Housing Element which is the result of the recent housing conference. 2. Capital Planning has a service level increase of $18,295 for a Secretary I. The General Fund will be reimbursed from CDBG to pay this expenditure. Currently this position is part-time funded by CDBG. This additional help is necessary because of the recent additional duties of Department Deputy Director plus an expansion of special projects, such as the Olympics and others. 3 . The Planning Division, effective May 1, 1989, has assumed administrative authority for the issuance of city business licenses . The proposed 1989-1990 budget for this function will be reassigned to the Planning and Zoning Division beginning with the new fiscal year. The proposed budget is $144,506 with four FTE positions. 4 . As a result of the cost reduction scenario, the Local Business Advocacy has decreased their budget by $15,200 in materials and supplies, meals, conventions and travel. 5 . There are no other department service level changes . • B. Proposed Staffing Changes 1. There will be a reduction of one FTE for a Building Inspector II at a cost reduction of $33,265. The impact of losing that FTE is as follows: Citizen requests on complaints are at an all time high with each complaint requiring an inspection and a response. Building and Housing Services is currently handling 43?0 of all the complaints to the city. Response time on inspections and complaints will increase. 2. A larger portion of four salaries in Capital Planning's budget will be reimbursed to the General Fund from prior years CDBG thus saving $49,608. -2- 3. The Planning Division will lose two halftime contract positions assigned to work with the Board of Adjustment. Zoning Administrator cases and the administration of Board of Adjustment agendas and cases will be transferred to existing planning staff. This will required a re-evaluation of staff assignments in the One-Stop counter and Long Rage Planning and Urban Design Section. As indicated in Service Level Changes, the Division will be assigned the four FTE positions from the Licensing Division. These positions consist of a License Supervisor (318) , two License Clerks (216) and a Clerk II (213) . 4. There are no other department staffing changes . C. Major Policy Issue The responsibility for issuing business licenses has been transferred from the Finance Department to Community and Economic Development. This transfer is consistent with the recent recommendations contained in the City Council's audit of the Finance Department. Business Licensing will now be accomplished by the Development Review/One-Stop Office of the Planning and Zoning Division. This office, in conjunction with the Licensing Enforcement staff of the Building and Housing Services Division, will strive to increase revenues consistent with established fee requirements while improving the regulatory aspects of issuing business licenses.
