Major Changes
• Reduction of Public Safety Officer (PSO) Positions
A decrease of 3.0 FTEs. These positions were intended to create 6 part-
time PSOs to supplement City Hall security but were never filled.
• Instead, these funds will help cover the cost of a new security services
contract for City Hall and the Municipal Center.
• This decrease does not impact City Hall or Municipal Center security.
The new security contractor is expected to fully meet our security
needs.
• Increased Cost of Security Contract
• A newly awarded contract for security at City Hall and the Municipal
Center required a funding increase to continue providing security
services.
_
= The cost increase also accounts for additional security to cover Building

- . - — Reduction of a Grant Funded Position (1.0 FTE)
�- A grant funded position was eliminated when the grant funding ended.
Since the position was grant funded, there is not a decrease in our
operating budget. 5 ..

recovery and rebuilding efforts after a significant incident.

CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION/INITIATIVES/COMMENTS
ITEM#76957
4:31 P.M.
Council Member Rouse asked the Body if they know if other cities are doing something to creatively
navigate their budget with the same workforce shortages, inflation and other challenges? Council Member
Rouse advised these types of challenges are not going away and believes it is important to reassure the
public that the Body is fulfilling obligations and spendingfunds responsibly without having to continuously
remove or delay projects. Council Member Rouse advised she would like to create pipeline for fulfilling
obligated projects.
Mayor Dyer advised Council Member Cummings is working with members of the Process Improvement
Steering Committee (PISC) to create something similar. Mayor Dyer advised it is going to be difficult until
the country's economy improves and emphasized the importance of creating revenue streams.
Council Member Henley referenced the Law Enforcement Training Academy(LETA)project and expressed
her concern that the Body is not following the process used in the past and now are making decisions to
commit spending around the table without having any documentation. Council Member Henley added,
when decisions are made during the Informal Sessions, the public is unable to participate and make
comments.
Mayor Dyer advised when items are discussed around the table, the Body is asked if they agree or approve
with the direction and if so, that direction is given to the City Manager. Mayor Dyer explained the City
Manager then comes back with a proposed plan and if the Body agrees, then an Ordinance or Resolution
is drafted which then allows the opportunity for the public to comment. Mayor Dyer advised the Body must
be reactive to an ever changing dynamic, cognizant of the City challenges and aware of the limitations.
Mayor Dyer added, there are several projects, some in District 2 that unfortunately been delayed due to
issues out of the Citys control, however;he believes if the Body has a concept and directs the City Manager
to research it and comes back with details on the finances and the alternatives, then Mayor Dyer advised
he is comfortable going forward.
City Manager Duhaney advised City Council approved funding the study for LETA and when the study was
complete, the Body received it, as well as a presentation, and directed him to move forward with plans to
design LETA in the ITA. City Manager Duhaney explained right now he is bringing forward the plan to
fund the design and if approved, the Body will receive the design at different stages of 30%, 60% and 90%
which will give a better idea of the project cost and if any other things should be included.
Vice Mayor Wilson advised during the budget cycle, there is always more needs than money and funding is
prioritized based on funding which is difficult but there have been tougher years in the past. Vice Mayor
recalled when the housing market was down and the budget for Schools was cut$80-Million and advised
even with the inflation and other challenges, she believes City Manager Duhaney and Budget Director
Chatellier have done a remarkable job in keeping things moving forward.
Council Member Berlucchi expressed his respect for Council Member Henley's comments and advised he
wanted to explain for the public that there is a difference between making a decision and voting on

something and providing guidance or direction that will ultimately be approved through an Ordinance or
budget in this case with LETA. Council Member Berlucchi expressed he trusts and relies upon the research
and expertise provided by the City Manager Duhaney and his staff while he agreed with Council Member
Henley on the other property, believing it has many attributes that may be positioned to support a different
City project in the future. Council Member Berluchhi emphasized the decision to approve funding for the
design has not been made and will be considered as part of the budget.

Mrs. Wood served on the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area Board and Chaired both the Development
Authority and Planning Commission. Vice Mayor Wilson complimented Mrs. Wood for being a pioneer of
womanhood and was someone she could always count on for help and advice, expressing her appreciation.
