Town Manager Harrington reminded that at the meeting of August 7, 1996, he and Mr. Thrasher had been directed by the Commission to pursue the establishment of a 125 Plan. As a result, he introduced Ed Sawdy and Russell Anderson and asked that they explain how the plan would work and what the benefits would be. Mr. Sawdy explained that this plan allows employees to buy insurance coverage with pre -tax earnings, resulting in a savings to the employee and to the employer in that the employer would not be paying F.I.C.A. on this. He did point out that in so doing, the employees future Social Security benefits would be impacted but it would be very little as compared to the savings in income tax.over the years. The insurance coverage that would be available under this plan was stated as follows: 1) Dependent coverage in the Group Health Insurance Plan; 2) Short term disability up to 66% of gross income; 3) Accidental injury coverage off or on the job; 4) Cancer indemnity program; 5) Intensive care coverage. In addition, universal life, term - annuity would be made available for purchase with post -tax income. Regular Meeting -Town Commission September 4, 1996 page 2 Mr. Anderson stated that an employee would be able to change his selections or discontinue participation in the Plan only once each yeareduring the enrollment period. He did advise that there are a few circumstances, such as 'divorce, that would make it possible for changes outside of the enrollment period. Mr. Anderson and Mr. Sawdy assured the Commissioners that there would be no fees charged for Colonial Life to administer this program. Town Manager Harrington stated that Resolution No. 96 -10 has been prepared to document the creation of a Flexible Benefits Plan if it is the desire of the Commission to do so. The Commissioners indicated their willingness to do this and Mayor Koch directed that the Clerk read Resolution No. 96 -10 by title, a copy of which had been distributed to each member of the Commission. Resolution No. 96 -10; A RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN COMMISSION OF THE TOWN OF GULF STREAM, PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA, CREATING A FLEXIBLE BENEFITS PLAN FOR ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES OF THE TOWN OF GULF STREAM, FLORIDA. Commissioner Orthwein moved and Commissioner Cross seconded that Resolution No. 96 -10 be adopted. Roll Call: Comm. Orthwein; AYE, Comm. Cross; AYE, and Mayor Koch; AYE. Town Manager Harrington reported that the Town currently provides a dental plan and a $15,000 life insurance policy for each employee through the Florida League of Cities, the premiums of which total approximately $30 per employee. He advised that in speaking with several employees, he had discovered that some did not feel the dental plan was adequate and some did not need the life insurance. Mr. Harrington recommended that the Town provide $30 per employee toward any type of coverage offered under the 125 Flexible Benefits Plan that each employee would select, and that this benefit be documented in the form of a policy that would be presented to the Commission at the next meeting. He added that Mr. Anderson is investigating the availability of dental coverage at this time. Commissioner Orthwein moved and Commissioner Cross seconded that a policy be adopted to provide that the Town shall make available $30 per month per employee to be applied to insurance coverage of the employee's choice under the 125 Flexible Benefits Plan. Roll Call: Comm. Orthwein; AYE, Comm. Cross; AYE, and Mayor Koch; AYE. Mayor Koch returned to the order of the agenda at this point. VII. Reports. A. Town Manager There was no report from the Town Manager. B. Town Attorney There was no report from the Town Attorney. C. Town Engineer 1. Little Club Drainage Update Town Manager Harrington advised thattheengmeer will not have a presentation at this time. He stated that the firm had been working on a solution to the drainage problem based on field studies that had been completed earlier this year. As they developed on paper the solutions that had been discussed previously, i.e. increasing pipe capacity between lakes, etc., it became apparent they would not be acceptable. Mr. Harrington reported that they are now exploring the feasibility of installing a pump some place in the system. He advised that there would be a report on this study ready for presentation on September 20, 1996. Mr. Harrington asked if the Commission would look favorably on having a special meeting at 4:30 P.M. on Sept. 20, 1996, just before the Budget Adoption Hearing at 5:01 P.M. on that date. Regular Meeting -Town Commission September 4, 1996 page 3 The members of the Commission were agreeable to having the special meeting as suggested by Mr. Harrington. Mr. Harrington closed his report by advis- ing that installation of a pump would be expensive, at least $75,000. The Commissioners agreed that the cost would have to be compared to the effective- ness of the proposed drainage improvements. D. Architectural Review & Planning Board 1. Future meeting dates a. September 25, 1996 at 8:30 A.M. 1 b. October 30, 1996 at 8:30 A.M. The Town Clerk made these announcements. E. Finance Director 1. Financial Report for August, 1996 William Thrasher, Finance Director, reported that a $25,000 transfer had been made from the invested funds into operating funds, leaving a balance of $347,301.72 in the invested funds. He further reported that $65,064.31 had been received from water sales. Mr. Thrasher stated that year -to -date operating fund revenues were $1,963.65 less than anticipated with expenditures being $67,261.73 less than the budgeted amount, resulting in a positive variance of $65,298.08. Revenues for the water fund exceeded the budgeted amount by $4,891.51 while the expenditures were $22,306.14 less than budgeted for the same period, resulting in a year -to -date positive variance of $27,107.65. Commissioner Orthewin moved that the financial report for August, 1996 be approved as presented and Commissioner Cross seconded the motion. Roll Call: Comm. Orthwein; AYE, Comm. Cross; AYE, and Mayor Koch; AYE. Mr. Thrasher then called attention to pages 11 through 17 that were a part of the financial packet. He noted that these are entitled Balance Sheet and advised that it had not been possible previously to obtain this informa- tion with the accounting package in use. However, he said that with the new program, he would be providing this information on a quarterly basis. Mr. Harrington advised that in the past, the invested funds had been placed in T Bills and /or CD's. The maturity dates were staggared on these so that the cash would flow back into the operating fund money market accounts on a regular basis. He pointed out that while these funds earned over 5% while invested, the earnings would drop to a little over 2% while they sat in the money market accounts waiting to be used. He advised that Mr. Thrasher has suggested that the Town may want to consider placing the invested funds in the Local Government Pooled Account, a Trust Fund that was created by an Act of the Florida Legislature in 1977 that has been paying earnings in the last 2 years of 5.21% to 5.86 %. In addition, funds may be deposited by wire transfer and withdrawn at any time, in any amount, by the same method. This would increase the earnings by not having to accept a lower rate in a money market account. Mayor Koch observed that this is not insured. Mr. Harrington stated that this is true, however, it is backed by the full faith and credit of the State of Florida. Commissioner Orthwein questioned if Palm Beach and other municipalities in this area use the fund and was advised that they do. The Town Manager was directed to pursue this matter with the State and prepare a Resolution for consideration at the next regular meeting Regular Meeting -Town Commission September 4, 1996 page 4 Before leaving the item related to financial reporting, Mr. Harrington called attention to the 5 amounts listed as various Fund Balance Accounts on the Balance Sheet (page 11). He stated that the last four are designated for specific uses and were designated as such in past years. During the past few years, the projects that this money was assigned for have been completed, he said. Mr. Harrington recommended that these be merged into l( the Unreserved Fund Balance where they could be used for any expense or purpose that was approved by the Commission. Commissioner Orthwein moved and Commissioner Cross seconded that the funds designated for capital improvements, $17,052.00; for subsequent budgets, $45,963.00; for landscaping (trimming Australian pine trees), $20,245.00; and for compensated absences, $27,392.00 be merged with the funds in the Unreserved Fund Balance Account. Roll Call: Comm. Orthwein; AYE, Comm. Cross; AYE, and Mayor Koch; AYE. F. Police Chief 1.

Presentation of the Proposed Budget and Proposed Millage Rate for Fiscal Year 1996 -1997. Town Manager Harrington called attention to the new budget format and explained that the changes reflect the format that appears in the audit each year which resulted from the auditors restructur- ing the format. He further explained that the first page in the budget packet reflects what changes were made in the proposed budget that was adopted on July 19, 1996. These changes include the detail covering the change in format. He explained that some of the revenue projections had been refined due to additional input from the State,and some of the expenditures had been lowered, especially in the areas of Fringe Benefits, due to changes in the employee insurance coverages. Taking all of these into account, Mr. Harrington stated that it had been possible to lower the proposed millage by 1 %, to 3.7438 mills per $1,000 of appraised value. Mr. Harrington pointed out that millage to cover the Debt Service had been lowered to 0.5194 mills per $1,000 of appraised value and that this would be the last year that this would be charged as the debt would be retired by the end of the 1996 -1997 fiscal year. In closing, he reported that water sales have been within 1% of those of last year and the budget has been structured on this basis. Mayor Koch announced that with the recommended amendments, the percentage of Millage increase over the rolled back rate is 15.08 %, this being the result of having no revenue carryover and increasing the contingency fund to $50,000.
