Oberndorf called to order the VIRGINIA BEACH CITY COUNCIL for the CITY MANAGER'S BRIEFING in the Council Chamber, City Hall Building, on January 7, 1992, at 11:00 AM. Council Members Present: John A. Baum, James W. Brazier, Jr., Robert W. Clyburn, Harold Heischober, Louis R. Jones, Paul J. Lanteigne, Reba S. McClanan, Mayor Meyera E. Oberndorf and Nancy K. Parker Council Members Absent: Vice Mayor Robert E. Fentress (ENTERED: 11:10 A.M.) William D. Sessoms, Jr. (ENTERED: 11:10 A.M.) - 2 - C IT Y MANA GE R ' S B R I E F IN G FY 1992-1993 OPERATING BUDGET ITEM # 35206 E. Dean Block, Assistant City Manager for Economic Management, advised the video presentation would serve as an introduction to the issues of the FY 1992 - 1993 OPERATING BUDGET. In times of fiscal stress, City leaders must make difficult choices to balance the budget. Inevitably these choices will affect City services. As of January 1991, the population of Virginia Beach was estimated to be 400,500 and the City is still trying to deal with the growth occurring so rapidly in the 1980's. The population is becoming more diverse at the same time when tax revenues are declining and the economy is weak. Citizens have a greater need for assistance in medical, financial, occupational and psychological services; therefore, City Departments offering these services: Housing and Neighborhood Preservation, Health, Social Services and Mental Health, are significantly impacted. These Departments are supported substantially by State funding, so the situation continues to worsen as they receive cuts from the State Budget. The City is called upon to make up the difference and the City does not have the funds. A difficult choice must be made: discontinue the service or dramatically cut another one to make up the difference. The safety of the City's citizens is of the utmost concern and the City provides numerous services in that regard. Libraries provide essential support services for homework and special projects. Responding to the needs of working parents, the Department of Parks and Recreation provides supervision of youngsters in Kindergarten through sixth grade by providing before and after school activity centers. City personnel have been innovative in the approach to do more with less. Productivity has increased in many areas. Even with declining resources, the commitment to provide quality customer service is the strongest it has ever been among City employees. However, this personal commitment can carry service provision only so far without revenue support, before further decline in service will be inevitable. The City does not have the money to continue the current level of service being provided for every service or progam. Mr. Block advised the FY 1993 - 1997 FIVE-YEAR FORECAST was entitled "A MATTER OF CHOICES", which summarizes the issues to be faced as a community, as a governing body and a staff supporting that governing body. This program might also be entitled "A MATTER OF EXPECTATIONS". As shown in the video, expectations might not be met in the future as they have been in the past. The document is divided into three sections: Where we are, Five Year Forecast and Basic Facts Sheet. The report produced by the Auditor of Public Accounts, which examines expenditures of all cities was utilized by the City Staff. Virginia Beach was compared to spending in other communities across the State. The City of Virginia Beach spends significantly less than the average of all cities in the State of Virginia. This City spends less on all operational functions of government, except one, than the average of all cities in the State. The City spent approximately 85% in Fiscal Year 1990 of the overall statewide average for all cities. The City does so because they take in less revenue per capita than other cities, and Virginia Beach takes in less money because the City taxes less. The City spent 95% of the state average on schools in 1990; 73% of the state average on public safety; and 66% of the state average for general goverrment. The City spent proportionately more of the funds received for school operations than the state average. Citizens place demands on city government for basic services which provide for their safety, health and well-being, as well as those services which add to the quality of their lifestyles. The Demand for Services Index attempts to measure that demand from actual requests for selected City services -- services like: police, fire and rescue calls, refuse collection, Social Services assistance payments, health clinic visits, library users, recreation classes and roadway lane miles. This is a reasonable gauge of where demand is moving in relationship to the population. The demand for services increases faster than population growth. For example, the demand index for assistance payments from Social Services has increased over the last four years approximately 80%, far faster than the growth in total population. - 3 - C I T Y M A N A G E R ' S B R I E F I N G FY 1992-1993 OPERATING BUDGET ITEM # 35206 (Continued) The forecast this year continues the trend of attempting to provide an understanding or a link between available resources and service. To accomplish this, the Staff has forecast not just revenues and expenditures but also the demand for services.- The School Administration was requested and agreed to provide their own forecast of school resource needs. They have provided a high and a low forecast. The first graph illustrates the "Base Case" revenue and expenditure forecast. The intent of the "Base Case" is simply to reflect a ilcurrent level of effort" scenario. Adjustments are made in expenditures only for population, per pupil growth and inflation. All other alternatives are variations of this forecast. Several major assumptions were made in developing this scenario. First, there would be no tax increase within the forecast period. This includes no additional fee revenues. To maintain this assumption the planned referendum for the Schools Capital Improvement Program was not included. There are no merit and/or general salary increases included in the forecast period. Salaries for both City and School employees would remain at FY 1990-91 levels through the forecast period. Third, system growth is projected at 1% per year for the City and at 2.5% per year for the Schools. The City figure is based on modest total population growth. The School figure is based on expected enrollment growth. The City, under this scenario, is facing a total funding deficit in FY 1992-93 of at least $20.5-MILLION. Alternative A identifies the variable of increasing salaries for both City and School employees by 2.5%. Providing a 2.5% salary adjustment will increase the total city deficit by $11.9-MILLION. Alternative B goes back to the "Base Case" and illustrates what would happen if the State was to reduce funding in FY 1992-93 to the localities by 5%. A reduction in state funding of 5% would increase the total city deficit to $30.1-MILLION. Alternative C would not allow for any growth on the City side and would hold departments to their FY 1991-92 adjusted funding level. The total City variance under this alternative is $17.0-MILLION in FY 1992-93. Alternative D is a "Policy Managed" approach to expenditures for both City and Schools. The $20.5-MILLION deficit identified in the "Base Case" for FY 1992-93 would be split equally between City and School services. City programs and services would experience an actual reduction from FY 1991-92 of $4-MILLION or the second straight year of actually declining resources for City operations. For schools there would still be an increase from their FY 1991-92 appropriation level of 1%. Alternative D is provided only as an illustration and is not intended as a recommendation. A copy of "A MATRER OF CHOICES" is hereby made a part of the record. The City Manager advised of his earlier announcement concerning an additional hiring freeze. The goal is to build up funds through keeping positions open and provide an element of security, so as much as possible to avoid layoffs later in the year. Councilman Sessoms suggested the possibility of incentives to issue a challenge to Managers of City Departments and employees. If $30-MILLION in cuts is found, one-third of that will be returned in salary increases. Relative Councilman Brazier's concern of the rumor relative lay-offs and seniority not being a factor, the City Manager advised an adopted reduction in force policy is not in existence. Everything is being done to prevent that occurrence. This is certainly a possibility, but rather premature. Councilwoman McClanan said no department should be exempt. The service might be deemed to be essential by the City, but does not mean it cannot be run in a more efficient and productive way than it is. Many departments utilize overtime when "total quality planning" could avoid this method. Sometimes overtime is much greater than it should be. There are programs and activities that transcend different departments and incorporate rather larger amounts but are not addressed in the discussion. - 4 - C I T Y M A N A G E R ' S B R I E F I N G FY 1992-1993 OPERATING BUDGET ITEM # 35206 (Continued) Concerning privatization, Vice Mayor Fentress referenced the goit course issue. The effect on the citizens playing golf every day should be factored into the decision to privatize or not privatize the golf courses. Councilman Heishchober cautioned concerning privatization and referenced the example of New York City. One might go in with a savings but becomes hostage over the years to that privatization. Councilman Jones reterenced an example of the renewal of a contract of $3-1/2-MILLION tor a private firm to perform inspections of the road constructions. The City Council instead of renewing the private contract, opted to retrain some of the current staft not being fully utilized in another department and thus saved the $3-1/2-MILLION and retained the jobs of the City personnel. Councilman Jones believed it more important in terms of education to know how much the City was spending per pupil rather than per capita. Councilman Lanteigne believed all departments should be examined to determine it services might be consolidated and a better job performed. In some cases more funds might have to be expended in one budget code to save money in other areas. Concerning privatization, Councilman Clyburn advised the cost of transporting the school population in our City is only one-fourth of that of a private company which performs the service for one ot our Sister Cities. Councilwoman Parker referenced the suggestion of "gainsharing". Public Utilities would be the easiest to track for a first time experimental situation. One time recurring savings might also be put into a pool that would provide a one-time bonus to that particular department. Mayor Oberndorf complimented the City Staft and City Manager on their extraordinary job in attempting to focus the City Council's attention and involve them in the budget process in a more meaningful fashion. In the 1990's, many of the taxpayers are not retired and not going to be employed and are thus without a safety net. Policy decisions must be made regarding using public monies more wisely to provide City services with the least possible impact. Whether it is privatization of golf courses or any ot the other services, the expectations of the public and their appeal will still come to those elected to make their quality ot life more comfortable. - 5 - ITEM # 35207 The INFORMAL SESSION of the VIRGINIA BEACH CITY COUNCIL was called to order by Mayor Meyera E.
