BUDGET - LIBRARY
Bob Ewing, City Librarian, introduced Marion Vassilakos,
Assistant City Librarian and Aurora Mendoza, Office Manager.
CITY ATTORNEY PENMAN ARRIVED
At 9:30 a.m., City Attorney Penman arrived at the Council
Meeting and replaced Deputy City Attorney Wilson.
Mr. Ewing stated that under the budget heading of Salaries
Part Time, the Library Board is requesting $158,000. This is a
very big concern to the Library Board. Because the libraries
operate with only 37 full-time employees, they rely on part-time
employees. The $158,000 allows the part-time employees to work
from 10 to 15 hours per week. They have been operating with 10
hours per week of part-time help for the past two years. If
there is a cut to $101,000 as proposed, part-time help would have
to go below 10 hours per week. Mr. Ewing stated that it is hard
to keep part-time staff for under 10 hours per week. He also
stated that the Library uses thousands of hours of volunteer help
and could not operate without it.
CITY ATTORNEY PENMAN EXCUSED
At 9:35 a.m., City Attorney left the Council Meeting and was
replaced by Deputy City Attorney Zimmerman.
The other area of major concern is the book budget. The
Library Board originally requested $262,000 to purchase new
books. City Management proposed to reduce this amount to
$200,000 and the Library Board now requests a compromise of
$230,000 so that the Library will be able to purchase new books.
He answered questions regarding the increase in cost for the
geothermal this year. He stated that the charges shown for gas
are for all four library branches.
City Librarian Ewing, spoke regarding the advantages of
having a contractual service for collecting on overdue books.
They have never had the service, but it would more than double
their investment.
He answered questions regarding the increase in postage,
explaining that the Library is now mailing out library cards to
new members rather than issuing them at the time of application.
They have found that first time borrowers who get a library card
on their first visit are the worst abusers and this new practice
has cut down losses considerably. He stated they are also
mailing out computerized overdue notices.
City Librarian Ewing, answered questions as to what is
covered under the Special Departmental Supplies category.
2
6/21/89
.
He answered questions regarding the increase in building
maintenance costs. He stated that there were three roof failures
this year, so an additional $12,000 was required to repair the
roofs.
BUDGET - GARAGE CHARGES - VEHICLE REPLACEMENT FUND
Mr. Andy Green, Finance Director, answered questions
regarding a 20% surcharge for vehicle replacement in every
department. This 20% is under garage charges and is transferred
into a vehicle replacement fund. The garage will then determine
which vehicles need replacement.
Finance Director Green explained that the vehicle
replacement fund was established as a result of a consulting
firm's survey of the Garage Department two years ago.
Discussion concerning Garage Charges may be found under
other department budget presentations during this meeting.
.

the budget.
COUNCIL MEMBER REILLY ARRIVED
At 10:10 a.m., Council Member Reilly arrived at the Council
Meeting and took his place at the Council Table.
BUDGET - RISK MANAGEMENT
Mr. Robbins explained that the Risk Management Division's
budget is broken down into three sections of Administration,
Worker's Compensation and Liability. He stated that this
division has been under staffed this past year with the loss of
its Director; however, to insure continuity, contract labor was
used. Contract labor was also used for liability claims in the
clerical support division. It was noted that the total
administration budget is $2,000 less than last year.
Deputy City Administrator Robbins explained that there was
an increase in the professional contractual services in the
administration area due to the Employee Assistance Program. He
explained that in the past, the Water Department and
Redevelopment Agency paid one third toward this program, but
this year they have reduced their payment.

BUDGET - RISK MANAGEMENT - WORKER'S COMPENSATION
Worker's Compensation costs are funded by all of the
departments of the City. Deputy City Administrator Robbins
stated that there has been an increase in the amount of worker's
compensation claims filed, because the State has increased the
amount for disability claims. Worker's Compensation claims are
paid out of the litigation fund and this amount did not
change. Mr. Robbins explained that there is a litigation line
item for attorney costs for Worker's Compensation claims.
Mr. Robbins pointed out that $12,500 has been allocated for
the Back Injury Prevention Program to help reduce potential
claims related to back injuries.
He explained that an in-house Safety Program is getting
underway. There will be driver's training for light vehicles,
heavy vehicles and trash trucks.

insurance claims.
COUNCIL MEMBER ESTRADA ARRIVED

Meeting and took her place at the Council Table.

of litigation funds and why he recommends that they be retained
in the Administrative budget.

regarding the amount allocated for claims requiring litigation,
support from the City Administrative Office and the expenses
incurred regarding the pistol range.
He also pointed out that during the year some unexpected
repairs and problems occur and there is no specific line item
containing funds to be used to resolve the problems.
BUDGET - EMERGENCY SERVICES DIVISION
Mr. James Robbins, Deputy City Administrator, stated that
the primary deletion in the Emergency Services Division's budget
is the computer system. He stated that the County originally
gave an estimate of $457,980 for 449 units, which would just
cover the Police and Fire Departments. Recently, they have
reduced that cost to $161,000, which is still beyond the City's
capability this year; however, the Emergency Services Director
did place this item in the budget so that the cost of the system
would be known. The City will continue to work with the County
on this matter.

stated that purchase orders were submitted for a FAX machine and
additional cellular telephones in of case future emergencies.

event of a major earthquake or any emergency crisis and the need
for additional communications equipment.
As a result of the discussion, Mr. Robbins was directed to
get back to the Council with a plan for communicating in an
emergency situation.
BUDGET - EMERGENCY SERVICES DIVISION - TELECOMMUNICATIONS
Mr. Robbins informed the Council that as the City is on its
own telephone system, it has the same expenses as a telephone
company. The first period of operation was a partial year and at
the end of that time, the City did not charge telephone accounts
to the departments. As a result, the budget is $24,000 short
this year. Adjustments will be made in next year's budget based
on actual use of the system and a base amount for each
instrument.

Emergency Services budget.

percent, and an increase of the franchise fee to five percent is
currently under discussion. Mr. Robbins stated that under the
local ordinance and State codes, the maximum that can be charged

Means Committee, and the proposed fees are adequate to meet the

in the Cemetery budget is the garage fees. This is because the
