 It is four o'clock. I will call the licensing hearing and public safety committee meeting to order. I'll call the roll. Alder Decker. Here, Alder Ackley. Here. Alder Donahue. Alder Felde. Here. All members are present. All right. For those in the chamber, please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. The Pledge of Allegiance to the fight of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Great. Just for the record, staff members that are present, we have Carly from the fire department, fire chief, police chief, Chad from Planning and Development and then Carrie Arons and Chuck Adams. All right. Is there a motion to approve the minutes from September 30th? So moved. Second. There's been a motion by Dean, second by Barb. Any further discussion on the minutes from our previous meeting? Seeing none. All those in favor, please state aye. Aye. Aye. Anyone opposed? Chair votes aye. The minutes are approved. All right. 3.1. Resolution number 103, 20, 21. Resolution establishing the 2021 budget appropriations and 2020 tax levy for the use during the calendar year. All right. So we'll kind of go down the list. So Chad for building inspection. Oh, start it off. Thank you chair. So just there's just a couple of changes. It's pretty much a status quo budget, but just to let you know, the planning and development division reports to finance and personnel, building inspection reports to public safety under the changes. It's really lowering the full-time salaries with some retirements that happened in 2020 of the couple of the highest paid people. So there's some changes there, but then bringing in some new staff. There's new health insurance costs for the family plans. So there's some increases in that. And then there's an addition of retiree health insurance payments as a new expense. Otherwise everything else in the budget is pretty much status quo from last year and it retains the same people that we have in 2020. Are there any questions for Chad regarding building inspection Alder Donahue? Thanks Chad. I was just curious as the new hires are getting, is it family insurance? And that's the reason the costs are increasing? That is correct. Yes. Okay. Thank you. Are there questions for building inspection? All right. Chad? All right. Next up is the fire department. Thank you, chair. So the fire service 101 fund, the general fund budget includes a $20,000 architectural study for station three. The station is currently over 50 years old. A lot of it internally are not up to code, especially with the ADA requirements. So we wanted to get a study done for that. We added two members to the confined space training for $3,868. Also our new program of the surface water rescue, which we implemented this year. We need some equipment for that to maintain or to continue to improve on that services. So we added 5,200 for that, which would include dry suits and other miscellaneous gear that we would need. Another program that I'm excited to implement, hopefully that you will agree would be the Citizens Fire Academy, which would be an introduction course for anybody that wanted to attend the public to learn what the fire department and its personnel do. That's 2,500. So those are some of the major changes we have for our 101 budget. Any questions on the 101? Questions? Great. Moving to the 280, the Ambulance Fund. One of the major changes based on the Finance and Personnel Committee meeting that happened on Monday, we are moving one of our personnel, the Assistant Chief over EMS operations over to the 280 fund from the 101 fund. So that's gonna be an adjustment for that. But we are including $10,800 for purchases of tough books that we need to replace that are currently on our ambulances and that's how they do the reporting. But overall, our budget is down from last year, 4,500, from overall. A lot of it was due to some of the equipment we were able to purchase with the COVID recovery or routes to recovery. So we purchased some of those items that now we don't need for next year as well. Questions for Fire Chief? Okay. Thank you. Thanks Chief. We'll do the Police Department. Good afternoon. For the Police Department budget, the only really notable changes in the administration division where there was a $30,500 decrease due to IT small equipment count and that's from all the computers that have been replaced this year. We're back on track where we need to be. So there's a decrease next year where it goes to the normal replacement cycle. There's some slight modifications in the other budgets but essentially they're flat like the police fleet. Similar to what Chad talked about, there's a slight reduction in the salaries but then an increase in the health insurance costs that offset each other. And that's again due to a retirement and the hiring of a new mechanic. Same kind of things going on in the police patrol budget. There is an increase in temporary salaries because of the, essentially the problems we're having continuing to keep crossing guards employed at $10 an hour. So we're planning on raising the salary there. So there's an increase in what's funded to do that but there's also offsets of $60,000 in the overtime account and that's because of overtime grant that we had previously gotten that the state is no longer funding. Otherwise I don't have any major changes but I can answer questions if anybody has any questions. Any questions for the police chief? All right, seeing none. Thanks. All right, city attorney. All right, you have our documents were provided to you in advance as well. There's very little change, no change in our personnel, a small decrease in our non-personnel services. So it's about a 4% decrease in our budget this year in non-personnel. Our personnel services or what the budget apparently calls personal services is an increase of about 2.5% but about 90% of our budget is just in personnel. So not much to report but I can answer any questions if there are any. Any questions for the city attorney? All right, thanks, Chuck. All right, is there a motion to accept 3.1? Most do accept. Second. There's been a motion by Dean, second by Barb for resolution number 103 to forward that onto the council. Any further discussion on any of the department heads or their budgets that are presented? All right, seeing none. All those in favor, please state aye. Aye. Aye. Anyone opposed? Chair votes aye, that is approved. All right, thank you guys.
