Item F2
Discussion of FY 2020/2021 Budget Process
City Administration has called for an 8% reduction in General Fund departments' operating budgets (not
total budgets including personnel costs). At this time, administration is also planning to keep the library
at 18 FTE instead of retaining our current 23.5 FTE pre-layoff level. Ed Meedel and Steve Fosselman
have met with City Administration to request reinstatement of FTE's. As previously indicated, the
reduced FTE level amounts to reduced operating hours and services that are not consistent with other
libraries.
Attachments include information provided at the June 16, 2020 Council budget session, our
departments' budget estimates for end of this fiscal year and for next year with 8% operating cost
reduction and City Administration's personnel projections, and general fund/salary budget comparisons
between 2010 and 2010 for General Fund departments.

June 16, 2020 City Council Study Session – UPDATED
RE: FY2020 End of Year Projection and FY2021 Proposed Budget Projection
FY2020 End of Year Projections:
Original revenue projection for the General Fund for FY2020 was $39,243,970. General Fund revenues were trending up until March 2020. The pandemic has shut down some of our facilities and programs and in turn will affect our revenues. As of the date of this report we are projecting sales tax collections to be reduced by
25% in July, 20% in August, and 15% in September. Department Directors have gone through their revenue
projections for FY2020 and made some adjustments. We are projecting a reduction of General Fund revenues of $1,260,371reducing it to $37,983,599. Other sources of revenues for May 2020 and the seven months ending May 31, 2020 are on page 5.
Original General Fund expenditures for Personnel expenses for the 2020 budget year was $29,865,965. We are projecting a vacancy savings of $939,134. The vacancy savings include not hiring a City Attorney and receptionist, library being closed for 6 weeks and reduction in workforce, Island Oasis not opening, Police Department vacancies, not opening some of the Parks facilities and/or delayed openings, reduction and delayed hiring of seasonal staff, and other department vacancy savings. The projected Personnel expenses for
2020 is $28,926,831. Original General Fund expenditures for Operating expenses for the 2020 budget year was $7,249,062. We are projecting an Operating savings of $405,907 putting our 2020 end of year operating expenditures at $6,843,155. These savings are due to some purchases not being made at this time, closures of facilities, and
delayed opening of some facilities. The net effect of all the projections would increase Cash Reserves by $113,613. Draft proposed Budget for FY2021: As of the date of this report we are projecting revenues to be $1,886,729 less than last years budgeted revenue of $39,208,970. FY2021 proposed budgeted revenues are $37,322,241. We used a 2% growth for Property Taxes, a 15% reduction in Sales tax collections, and reductions in other revenue sources as well.
Transfers in for FY2021 is proposed at $1,100,000. This number consists of $35,000 from City owned farm ground that is leased and $65,000 from 2004 Sales Tax for Grand Generation. We are exploring the possibility of using KENO funds of $250,000 and $750,000 from the Food & Beverage fund for the City’s commitment to Economic Development for LB840 funds. This of course depends on Council’s direction with Grow Grand Island.

Personnel and Operating expenses are budgeted at $30,551,496 and $6,625,382 respectively. The Personnel
costs do not include any additional FTE’s, includes a reduction of Library FTE’s from 23.5 to 18.
Proposed transfers out include Economic Development of $750,000, Community Development of $25,000, Transit of $210,000, and Capital Equipment of $500,000 totaling $1,485,000.
Currently we are short of balancing our FY2021 budget by $239,637. As I mentioned before these are all projections and they will change as revenues come in. We will have a better idea on Sales Tax collections after we’ve collected June and July’s revenues.

Discussion of Library Director Replacement Process
Ed Meedel and Steve Fosselman have met with City Administration to discuss Steve's intended
