The meeting was called to order at 9:25 A.M. by City Administrator Rich Mays. Mr. Mays introduced the
representatives from JCTV and they explained the rationale for their budget request.
They stated that their equipment was old and, in many respects, outdated and that was the basis for the request.
After much discussion the JCTV staff reduced their minimum needs to approximately $79,110 which represents
replacing the cameras and cables in City Hall and the connector box outside the City Hall building. Their
request represents Phase I of a three phase overall request with Phase II totaling $39,208 and Phase III totaling
$8,710. The representatives from JCTV were thanked for their time and input and were told that they would be
informed at the conclusion of the budget process if any of their funding requests would be included in the FY
2005 budget.
Mr. Mays then presented a brief overview of the Revenue and Expense projections by classification for the
General Fund as well as some of the smaller funds.
The first department covered was the Parks Department. Mr. Bill Lockwood, Parks Director, reviewed the eight
division budgets that make up the total revenue and expense projections associated with each. Mr. Lockwood
also reviewed the pools in the context that revenue is down this year due to the cooler weather. Revenue is
projected to be under budget by as much as $45,000 to $50,000 this summer. Mr. Lockwood then discussed the
Ice Arena and stated that he feels at this time that the revenue projections for the early skate season may come in
on target but he is less sure of the expense projections.
The Human Resources Department was the next department discussed and Gail Strope, Human Resources
Director, reviewed the budget and some of the requests that were made. Recommendations that were made by
the sub-committee to be presented to the full Finance Committee are as follows:
1.Consider additional funding for the H.R. Department for additional Training & Education and
Meeting & Conferences line items.
2.Reducing the funding for the Human Relations Commission to $0.
3.Consider additional funding for the JCTV operation.
The next meeting is scheduled for Friday, August 27, 2004, at 9:00 A.M.
The meeting adjourned at 11:28 A.M.
