Council Agenda Memo
From:Patrick Brown, Finance Director
Meeting:July 19, 2022
Subject:Budget Discussions Study Session
Presenter(s):Patrick Brown, Finance Director
FY2022 Budget Projection
FY2022 Revenues were under forecasted for FY2022. Sales Tax receipts remained strong
throughout the year eclipsing FY2021 General Fund Sales Tax by $2.5m. Property Tax
receipts were steady due to the mill levy decrease. All other receipts have been steady for
FY2022. Expenses are going to be well under budget mainly due to vacancy savings i.e.
police department. Overall this will create a higher cash reserve going into FY2023
budget.
Challenges going forward
Inflation is currently at 8.5% with no real relief in sight. Gas and Diesel prices have
soared along with all other commodity prices. Supply line issues have caused shipments
to be delayed months if not years. Staff is working around those challenges. Labor
shortage is national issue that has affected Grand Island as well. As with every other
employer in the city, the City is having a hard time filling positions. The economy is at an
incredibly volatile state which in turn makes budgeting/forecasting much more difficult.
FY2023 Budget Overview
Revenue Assumptions – Overall revenues for the General Fund increased 11.4% or
$4.7m over FY2022 budget. The major sources of revenues for the General Fund is Sales
Tax and Property Tax. Sales tax are projected at 12.2% over FY2022 budget. The
previous year’s sales tax collection was $2m over FY2021 budget which was not
accounted for in forecasting FY2022. FY2023 has been adjusted accordingly. Property
Tax is forecasting a 3% increase. This would be the first increase in three years.
Legislative Bill (LB) 644 limits property tax increases to real growth and 2% before
mandating hearings with other local government entities. From my conversations with
Hall County, 3% will probably be below real growth and 2%. If that is true and the City
stays at 3% increase, the City’s mill levy could still decrease. Finance recommends at
least a 3% increase in Property Tax not so much for FY2023 but what will be needed to
Grand Island Study Session - 7/19/2022 Page 4 / 166
fund governmental operations in the coming years and the process it takes to increase
property tax above the 2% plus real growth.
FY2023 budget encompasses changes to the In Lieu of Property Tax receipts the General
Fund receives from enterprise funds. The change brings transparency to how
revenues/expenses are calculated between the General Fund and Enterprise Funds. In the
past the In Lieu of Property Tax receipts were limited due to bond covenants and in order
to collect fees from the Enterprise Funds for General Fund services (legal, clerk,
administration, etc.), the Enterprise Funds paid Administration Fees based off of some
outdated calculations. Also the Enterprise Funds were paying more for employer related
health care costs than General Fund. The proposed budget rebalances these costs and puts
all funds on an even playing field for costs. The Electric Utility will pay a 5% In Lieu of
Property Tax fee on Retail Sales and Water and Wastewater will pay a 2% fee on Retail
Sales as well. Solid Waste will continue to pay an Administration Fee to the General
Fund of 2%. Overall the General Fund will receive a net increase of $450k in the
rebalancing of revenues and expenses.
Expense Assumptions – Overall expenses are increasing 8.2% or $3.3m over FY2022
budget. Personnel expenses are projected to increase 8.2% or $2.7m due to several new
union contracts, increases in non-union pay and benefits, reclassification and additional
FTE’s. The additional FTE’s will be discussed at the next budget study session on July
26th. These adjustments are needed to keep up with the current labor market. Operating
expenses are projected to increase by 8.7% or $620k over FY2022 budget. This increase
is due to the overall rising costs of commodities.
Last but certainly not least, I want to thank Councilmember Nickerson, Councilmember
Conley, and Councilmember Guzinski for their time in budget discussions with
Department Directors and Administration. I hope to continue to involve three different
council members every budget year. The insight council members bring to the budget
discussions helps in developing a budget and hopefully in the process gains a more
focused understanding of City operations.

In order for an Officer to identify a seized drug for arrest or search warrant
purposes they must do a Presumtive Field Test to identify the drug. Older
methods of identification required the use of plastic vials that contained a
secondary inner plastic vial that would need to be broken by the Officer for
the test. Offers would, at times, cut their fingers on the sharp edges of the
inner vial. With dangerous drugs today, such as Fentanyl, this can be toxic
if not deadly to the Officer. The TruNarc Field Test Drug Analyzer would
prevent this danger.

The Faro 3D Scanner is a critical tool for law enforcement to assist
Officer/Investigators in documenting Crime Scenes and Accident Scenes.
The scanner saves the user critical time when documenting scenes and
also provides a more accurate and refined product for later use in court.
The Grand Island Police Department has had to borrow 3D scanners from
neighboring law enforcement jurisdictions (Kearney and Hastings) in the
past when investigating serious cases or fatal traffic accidents.

Many of our Patrol Division portable radios are eight to nine years old. We
are experiencing technical issues with the old radios that are causing
officer safety issues. We are also finding that programming and support
for the old radios are no logner available, making the older radios
obsolete. The new portable radios are band 14 compliant, which will make
them useable when we move to a truncated radio system in the future.

utility tractor were used to purchase a small rider mower to mow around
street light poles and signs (like NDOT) and to procure a new mower deck.
The oldest mower deck will then serve as a stand by unit. The lead time on
a new mower deck is approx. 12 months and therefore funds need to be re-

FTE Discussions
Staff Contact: Patrick Brown
Grand Island Study Session - 7/19/2022 Page 160 / 166
Below are FTE requests with narratives for the upcoming FTE discussion on July 19, 2022.
Emergency Management – additional FTE’s (General Fund)
2 Public Safety Dispatchers ‐ Why is the position needed? We really need four new staff in the
Emergency Center to keep our shifts at 4 seats per shift. Jon Rosenlund is asking for 2 this year.
These positions are funded 50% by the County, so the City actually only pays for half of the total
costs of each employee. The last time FTE’s were added to Emergency Management was 2011.
How many similar positions do you have in the department? 13 Public Safety Dispatchers and 3
Senior Dispatchers.
Total Cost ‐ $158,128 (to be split between the City and Hall County)
Emergency Management – Reclassifications (General Fund)
Three Public Safety Dispatchers would be reclassified to Senior Public Safety Dispatchers.
Why is the position needed? Currently, Jon has only 3 senior dispatchers, one per shift. Because
they don’t work 7 days a week, that leaves almost 1/3 of shifts working without a supervisor,
sometimes more when seniors take time off. We would like to reclassify three Dispatchers to
become Senior Dispatchers. This would provide authorized supervision to all shifts and will also
accommodate the increased load the ProQA and other call reviews will require with the new
system. It is estimated that promoting 3 dispatchers to senior dispatcher will add approximately
$27k to personnel services. A small price to pay for the benefits in supervision and quality
assurance.
How many similar positions do you have in the department? 3 senior dispatchers currently on
staff today.
Total Cost ‐ $27,237 (to be split between the City and Hall County)
Parks and Recreation – additional/Reclassification FTE’s (General Fund)
Parks Maintenance Worker – why is the position needed? To keep up with the growth of the
department and expectations from the public and City Council.
How many similar positions do you have in the department? 10 similar positions.
Total Cost ‐ $71,189
Planning Department – moving FTE from Utilities to General Fund
Planner 1 ‐ This is part of the rebalance of expenses/revenues between the General Fund and
Electric Utility. Due to technology and personnel at the Electric Utility, this position (FTE portion)
is not used for any specific utility work.
Total Cost to General Fund is $36,559. This position is a shared position with the County. (50%)
Police Department – additional FTE’s (General Fund)
(2) Public Safety Apprentices – One full time and two part time positions. These positions were
approved in April of 2022.
Total Cost ‐ $158,110
Grand Island Study Session - 7/19/2022 Page 161 / 166
4 Part Time Airport Police Officers – Why is the position needed? Currently one police officer
goes out to the airport for departures. The additional part time airport police officers would
alleviate the need to take an officer off patrol.
Total Cost ‐ $71,178
(3) Police Officers – Why is the position needed? The additional Police Officers will be needed in
the future but in today’s environment, Police Department being down 11‐12 officers, allocating
budget dollars to positions that would not be filled would not be a prudent use of resources.
Total Cost ‐ $280,572
Public Works Engineering – reclassification of FTE (General Fund)
Reclass an Engineering 1 PW to Engineering 1 or 2 or Senior.
Why is the position needed? The Engineering series is necessary to attract & retain qualified
Engineers.
How many similar positions are in the department? There are currently two (2) Engineer 1
positions, one of which is vacant and has high turnover. The other is a licensed Engineer with
over 20 years of experience. The Engineer II and Senior positions would be new classes but not
new FTE’s. These changes will allow for more flexibility in hiring and retaining Engineers in the
Public Works Department. An entry level engineer would be designated as an Engineer 1 (intern)
whereas experienced engineers would be put in the engineer II (required to have a PE
designation) or senior (number of years of experience) category depending on experience.
Total Cost ‐ $0 to $10,076 dependent on the experience.
Streets Division (210 Fund) – reclassification of FTE
Reclass two Senior Maintenance Worker positions to Senior Equipment Operators. Why is the
position needed? This position provides oversight and technical expertise in equipment
operation and participates in a wide variety of road maintenance and construction operating of
the heaviest and most complex pieces of equipment. This position also aids in the progress of
right‐of‐way maintenance by operating equipment for drainway clearing, mowing, tree
trimming, as well as performing additional street sweeping and fill in when extra man power is
required for traffic control or large projects. A variety of other duties are performed by this
position, which include operating equipment for snow plowing and salting, roadway
improvements/rehabilitation, as well as cover stand‐by shifts as assigned. This will help hiring
and retention.
How many similar positions do you have in the department? There are 5 FT Senior Equipment
Operators currently.
Total Cost ‐ $1,746
Solid Waste (505 Fund) – reclassification and additional FTE
Office Manager – SW ‐ Why is this position needed? The position oversees all aspects of the
office and assists the Superintendent with the accounting for the division. This position would
oversee 3.5 division clerks (currently 2.5 FTE division clerks – see below) and seasonal workers.
This would reduce overtime costs substantially.
Total Cost ‐ $90,469
Grand Island Study Session - 7/19/2022 Page 162 / 166
Solid Waste Division Clerk – the Accounting Technician position would be eliminated and add 1
FTE to Solid Waste Division Clerk. Due to the increases in workloads and the difficulty of
scheduling when employees are sick or vacation, this additional position would alleviate the
issues of short staffing in different areas and/or decreasing hours at the landfill. Also with the
additional scale coming online, there will be a need for additional staffing. This a front office
reorganization that will improve efficiencies currently and in the future growth of the Transfer
Station.
Total Cost – ($13,639) – together the cost would be $77,010
Utility Department – (520 Fund)
Due to the rebalance of expenses/revenues, the 0.38 FTE will be moved to the General Fund.
See above – Planner.
Total Cost – ($36,559)
Water Department – (525 Fund) – additional FTE
Water Maintenance Worker – Why is the position needed? Water service lines are currently
owned by property owner from the water main to the point of use. For about half of the
owners, this includes ownership of the service line under the street, which can add $5,000 to
the service line repair. This is a hardship for many owners and obtaining financing and finding a
plumber to perform the repair can take weeks and, in many cases, the leaking water will
undermine the street and adjacent utilities. Utilities management is recommending that the
water utility assume ownership of water service lines in the public right of way from the
property owner in to allow an equitable and timely response to service line failures. Anticipated
repairs of these service lines based on building permit records will require additional staff.
How many similar positions do you have in the department? Water maintenance worker – 6,
Senior Water Maintenance worker – 3
Total Cost ‐ $87,330
Waste Water (530 Fund) – reclassification and additional FTE
Reclass Accounting Technician – WW to Administrative Assistant – WW. Why is the position
needed? This position is the center of the Wastewater Treatment Plant budget monitoring and
daily office functions.
How many similar positions are in the department? There was one in the past, however none at
this time.
Total Cost ‐ $3,111
Reclass Engineer I – WWTP to Engineering I or II or Senior. The Engineering series is necessary to
attract & retain qualified Engineers. Please see PW Engineer proposed changes for more detail.
Total Cost ‐ $11,986
Reclass Engineer Technician to Engineer Technician I or II or Senior Why is the position needed?
The Engineering Technician series is necessary to attract & retain qualified Engineer Technicians.
Total Cost ‐ $2,967
Grand Island Study Session - 7/19/2022 Page 163 / 166
One additional FTE – WWTP FOG (Fats, Oils, and Grease) Program Manager. Why is the position
needed? This new position will develop Fats, Oils, and Grease policies and procedures, and
ordinances in support of the Wastewater infrastructure throughout the City.
Total Cost ‐ $85,936
