ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING WITH BUDGET OVERVIEW
Reel 98-2, Side I
Three Year Financial Plan FY99-01 - City Manager Atkins explained the Three Year Financial
Plan is balanced and is used as an active document for accounting and management. Atkins
stated that the budget is balanced in accordance with State law and complies with all policy
guidelines.
Atkins reviewed the following overheads: Financial Concems, What Do We Need To Do?, and
Council Goals/Guidelines [see attached].
Personal Services (pg. 26.) - Atkins explained there are no substantial changes in Social
Security and Medicare and the budget accommodates changes in IPERS. Atkins stated the
City's Police and Fire pension funds were actually sound when the State took over and the
city is using that cash reserve to pay into those funds for an estimated ten year period in lieu of
taxation. Atkins noted there is a lawsuit pending over the Police and Fire pension cash
reserves. In response to Kubby, Atkins stated the Employee Benefits Levy will be used once
the cash reserves run out. Kubby suggested that the Council's Legislative Committee should
address pension fund issues.
Atkins explained that payroll is budgeted at 98.5%; the City is in the 3rd year of a three year
AFSCME contract and 2nd year of a three year contract with Police and Fire employees. Atkins
stated the city's self-insured health insurance program is excellent. Atkins said $5,500 annually
per employee is placed in the Health Insurance Reserve and is available for payment of health
insurance expenses. Atkins noted the health insurance program is administered by Blue
Cross/Blue Shield. -
Property Tax (pg. 18) - Atkins explained the Library, Transit and General Fund property Tax
rate per $1,000 is 9.320 and Tort Liability was added in FY99 for the City's insurance program.
Council Work Session

Page 2
Atkins added that the increased rollback factor prompted the City to look at the additional Tort
Liability levy.
Atkins pointed out that the Debt Service will increase from 1.615 in FY98 as a direct result of
proposed capital projects and bond issues. Atkins reviewed projected property tax rates: FY99,
13.538; FY00, 14.156 and FY01, 14.553. In response to Kubby, Atkins stated the projected
property tax rates do not include the Library bond referendum.
Rollback (pg. 19) - Atkins reviewed seven fiscal years' rollback factors, noting that the rollback
factor has declined 33% in seven years. Atkins stated that the total taxable values have
increased 27.4% in that seven year peded. Atkins compared the taxable assessed value for
residential, $824,002,609 with commercial/industrial, $844,995,752. Norton requested a
information comparing other community's residential and commercial/industrial total taxable
values.
Atkins stated changes may occur in how utilities are figured into the taxable assessed values.
Atkins said property tax on gas and electric and telephone utilities may be eliminated and would
change the City's underlying financial foundation. In response to Norton, Atkins stated that
utilities assessed value is approximately $60 million, 3% of the City's taxable valuation. In
response to Kubby, Atkins stated he will present information on franchise fees later. Atkins
noted that the loss of Machinery and Equipment (M & E) is another financial foundation issue.
General Fund Revenues (pg. 24) - Atkins reviewed General Fund revenues, including
property tax, Employee Benefits levy, and Road Use Tax. Atkins stated the Road Use Tax is a
state per capita allocation, put into the City's General Fund and used to finance Traffic,
Engineedng, and Streets. Atkins stated the City maintains a cash balance of about $1 million in
the Road Use Tax Fund. Yucuis stated that about $2 million worth of Road Use Tax projects
were carded over from FY98.
Atkins reviewed City of Iowa City Schedule of Average Residential Assessed Valuation
overhead [see attached]. Atkins noted that a FY98-99 average home in Iowa City is $112,166
and has a taxable value of $61,589. Atkins projected that city property taxes paid on a
$112,000 home will be $834. Lehman noted that the $112,000 house represents an increase of
5.8% in its value.
Atkins referenced State/Federal Funding Revenues. Kubby noted the Library-Open Access
showed a decrease. Atkins said State Aid is based on a population allocation and Personal
Property Replacement has remained virtually unchanged for ten years. Atkins said it is
important to realize that the percentage of total revenues will begin to decline.
Atkins said the Bank Franchise Tax has flattened out and the State has capped those totals.
Atkins explained the tax on banks is distributed 55% local and 45% state but the local
distribution is capped.
Atkins stated Chargebacks of Services is an internal function and Fines, Permits and Fees
include Recreation Fees and Animal Control Services; Recreation Fees will be discussed on
January 12; Contractual Services includes University Fire Contract and Johnson County
Contract for Senior Center and Library Services. In response to Thomberry, Atkins stated the
City does not contract for services with the Sheriff's Department.
Council Work Session
January 5, 1998

Atkins explained he is proposing a change in policy with respect to distribution of the
Hotel/Motel Tax. The Hotel/Motel Tax is currently allocated 50% Police, 25% CVB, 15% Mercer
and 10% Parkland. Atkins proposed the Parkland allocation go directly to the General Fund to
help subsidize Mercer Gymnasium expenses.
Atkins stated the City will have 27 pay periods in upcoming FY and should receive $1.3 million
back from sale of peninsula, an important component of the General Fund revenue.
In response to O'Donnell Atkins explained the County pays approximately 10% of the Library
costs and 20% of the Senior Center budget.
General Fund Expenditures (pg. 25) - Atkins stated the FY00 expenditures is up substantially
because of the 27 pay periods. Kubby noted a discrepancy in General Fund Expenditures FY99
totals on page 25, stating both $30,083,783 and $30,050,783. Atkins stated he will follow up.
Lehman inquired about Transfers changes. Yucuis referred to page 28, Transfers. Yucuis
explained Parkland Acquisition Reserve and Library Replacement Reserve were moved out of
the General Fund.
Operating Cash Balance (pg. 29) - Atkins stated the City's three year average is 26.5% and is
well within our policy.
[Council Break 2:55 p.m. - 3:05 p.m.]
Debt Service (IxJ. 18, IxJ. 30) - Atkins emphasized the Debt Service levy will increase from
1.615 in FY98 to 2.999 in FY01, an 80% increase in Debt Service expense. Atkins stated the
increase is directly related to capital projects approved by Council. In response to Kubby, Atkins
stated the Debt Service Fund is outlined on page 30 and includes the guideline that the debt
service levy shall not exceed 25% of the total levy in any one fiscal year.
O'Donnell inquired about page 28, General Fund Transfers, Transit operations increases from
FY97, $252,083 to FY01, $665,498. Yucuis explained the FY97, $252,083 represents a good
handle on expenses and the City didn't have to transfer as much from the General Fund to the
Transit Fund; stated the largest increases are due to personal services; and the main increase
in revenue for Transit is the property tax levy. Atkins stated that the Federal Intergovemmental
Revenue has not been eliminated yet and council will review the Transit budget as a separate
item.
Atkins stated the allowable debt margins have increased from FY91 at 21% to FY01 at 45%, a
dramatic increase but within the City's ability to cover debt. Atkins stated the city could have
exceeded the 25% policy if the proposed Library debt were included. In response to Norton,
Atkins stated he can provide council with Library debt information.
Budget Highlights (pg. 11-15) -Atkins referred to Highlights of the Highlights - General Fund
overhead [see attached]. O'Donnell inquired about proposed Police Records imaging system
budget. City Clerk Karr explained the scanning equipment will be used to preserve documents
electronically. In response to Norton, Karr added new scanning equipment in the Clerk's office
will offer efficiencies to the departments because staff will not have to microfilm, old microfilm
equipment will not have to be replaced, and the retrieval of documents will be easier for both
staff and public.

Thomberry asked by the Library's proposed $50,000 new voice mail system versus the Senior
Center $3,000 expense for a new voice mail system. Atkins explained the Library has a nine-
line, 52 unit phone system and receive 69,000 calls a year.
Atkins stated that the Librarys computer replacement fund is being purchased through the
issuance of debt and noted the Senior Center's sprinkler system.
Enterprise Funds (pg. 31)
· Parking - Atkins explained the most signfficant change in the Parking Fund is the FY00
new parking structure, at $4.1 million and land acquisition for that project will be an
additional cost. Yucuis stated he has met with Parking and Transit Director Fowler and
Parking Manager Bill Dollman to discuss on-street meter rate increases. Norton requested
information about parking program revenues and expenditures. Atkins stated council has
discussed parking ramp locations, including the Senior Center site and University.
· Transit- Atkins stated the Transit Fund does not include an equipment replacement
reserve but the Transit fleet is in good condition.
Water and Wastewater-Atkins explained the City has a 20% cash set aside. Yucuis
recommended using some of that cash accumulation to fund a one year debt service
reserve whenever the City issues revenue bonds as a requirement, eliminating an arbitrage
rebate calculation.
Atkins asked Council if non-water related projects, such as a community room built as part
of the Water Project, should be split out and financed with GO debt, not water revenue.
Norton reminded council that they set a two month deadline to review water projects. In
response to Kubby, Norton noted that page 15, Wastewater, states FY01 services and
charges increased by $300,000 when the new Wastewater Plant becomes operational.
Yucuis stated there will be increased utility costs.
Refuse - Atkins reviewed overhead: Landfill Tipping Fee Rates [see attached] and stated
there are no substantial changes in residential refuse collection, and a multi-family recycling
program is being considered. Kubby stated consistent promotional materials and public
education are needed. Atkins noted that council received his memo regarding compost and
there are ten to twelve major landfill issues (methane, transfer stations, state legislation,
hazardous waste, multi-family recycling, downtown waste removal, cardboard ban, dry cell
batteries, compost rates and Solid Waste Advisory). Staff is completing the Comprehensive
Site Analysis and Plan. Atkins stated the City's cash position with respect to the landfill is
excellent.
Airport- Atkins stated there are no substantial changes and their General Fund support is
beginning to decline.
BTC - Atkins stated there are no substantial operational changes.
Two pending issues are the Library wants PATV to move out and the Civic Center third floor
project. Kubby requested 5% franchise fee and $.50 pass through totals.
