SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Based upon Council feedback from the August 23 special work session, staff has developed options to pay for the startup of a downtown sidewalk maintenance program to provide summer and
winter maintenance services. Council’s feedback was to stay focused on providing the service in the downtown core only; start the program this winter; bring back options for funding
the program; continue to look at long-term funding options to sustain the program in future years. Staff will review the following funding options with Council and ask for direction.
The total Year One cost for the program is approximately $224,000 broken down as:
$59,000 new equipment purchase
$44,000 annual materials & supplies expense
$85,000 annual personnel expense for Parks
$36,000 annual personnel expense for Public Works
The options for financing the Year One cost of the program out of the City budget are:
Use General Fund reserve and Street Fund reserve balances
Reduce Capital Improvement Plan allocations to certain projects
Reduce amount allocated for Future Pathways Maintenance
Reduce amount allocated to Reserves for Future Projects
The options for financing future years of the program are:
Using Property Tax revenue growth within the normal budget process
Appropriating Foregone Property Taxes
Allocating Local Option Tax revenues
Establishing a Fee-for-Service
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Direct staff to administratively adjust the FY20 Budget to implement the Downtown Sidewalk Maintenance Program effective October 1, 2019.
