They were proved to be unfounded through videotape recordings or court
testimony.
8.Discuss, consider, and review the City Audit for Fiscal Year 2003-2004.
Councilman Wilson stated that the budget is based on cash basis and the audit is
based on a modified accrual and on full accrual. It is difficult to tie the two together.
At the end of the year on September 30, 2004, we had a total of $254,000.00 in cash
without the bond money. He stressed the point is that we had spent
$5,000,837,000.00 in reserves that we had, and that we have no more reserves.
Councilman Wilson asked Gene Anderson if we had dipped into our bond money
over the in October, November or December. Gene Anderson stated that we did dip
into the construction money. Councilman Wilson wanted to know how much we
dipped into it. Gene did not bring the numbers with him, but advised the Council that
up through December we had collected only 20% of our property tax revenue, so we
dipped into that money up through the end of December. In January we collected
50% of total taxes and it brought us back up above that amount. Mayor Fendley
inquired as to if that money was back in the account for construction and Gene
Anderson advised that it was back in the account. Councilman Wilson wants Gene
to work with Tony in the future, so that he can provide a summary showing cash wise
of where we stand.
9.Discuss, consider and provide direction or take possible action regarding the City
Manager’s personnel and financial proposals.
Tony Williams stated that after looking at the Audit, it is clear the problem is that we
have too much government for the size of the community. Our standard operating
expenses exceed our revenue. It is not the capital items - it is the day to day expenses
that will not balance. Tony stated he was available to answer any questions they may
have regarding what he has proposed or how he arrived at the recommendations.
Mayor Fendley asked if any council members had any questions of Tony or input.
Councilman Wilson said he could go along with most of the changes proposed but
had concerns with changes in EMS. He stated we have spent a lot of time training
these people. He thinks we have gotten in a position where it doesn’t matter whether
or not it is necessary, because the citizens have come to expect two paramedics.
Unlike other departments, EMS’ cost has gone up 58% but their billings are up 58%
and their revenues are up 50%. They grew in the last five years from 20 to 26
employees but their services grew too.

Manager Tony Williams informed the Council that he had met with Kent and Ronnie
many times reviewing different options that could be considered. We have 26 people
in EMS, 55 in the fire, 3 of those are clerical - there are still 78 officers involved.
Marshall is doing that with 45 officers because it is a fire based EMS. Denison has
53. They are essentially our same size community. Why should it take us 30 to 33
more people to do that same job? I assure you that part of our problem is that we are
a civil service fire department. It is impossible for your manager to move those EMS
guys into the fire department. The law will not let me laterally transfer those folks.
Councilwoman Wilkerson proposed that we divorce ourselves from the civil service.
It takes 10% of all the number of voters that voted in the last municipal last election
to bring it to an election. Councilwoman stated this proposal was just for the fire
department.
Tony stated we could certainly organize much more efficient and use all of those
skills that we currently have in the EMS.
Councilwoman Fisher said that no one has asked the question as to what the citizens
want. She stated that they work for the citizens and were elected by the citizens.
Councilwoman Fisher stated that we should not rush into anything.
Councilman Wilson said let’s put it out there - if they want to have a civil service
election, let them vote.
Councilwoman Fisher said she was talking about the whole thing.
Mayor Fendley asked if there were any other comments from Council. He stated the
civil service EMS item was an issue. He advised that if they choose to go out for an
election there are several items that need to be looked at such as the process and legal
counsel input. Mayor Fendley suggested that staff come back and report to Council
in a couple of weeks. Mayor Fendley inquired as to if the Council wanted to go
ahead and proceed on the other items. Councilman Wilson said he felt they should
proceed forward. Councilman Bell expressed concern about getting issues resolved
by September of this year. Councilman Wilson stated Tony was already in the
process of making cuts. Tony said he would like to put out competitive proposals and
bring to Council for review. Councilman Bell suggested that the local government
department have an opportunity to bid the same package.
Mayor Fendley inquired as to if they wanted to vote on each item. Councilman
Wilson suggested that they keep going until they go to something they weren’t
Regular City Council Meeting
March 14, 2005
Page 11
comfortable with.
Tony stated the second item was to reduce the size of the city staff. Councilman
Wilson wants to look further at the prosecutor. He wants to know if the prosecutor
is making us a substantial amount of money. He also wants to know if we get rid of
the prosecutor will our revenues go down. Tony inquired as to if there were any
other staff reductions they wanted him to set aside. There were none. Mayor Fendley
proceeded.
Tony advised the third change was to change the benefit design of the group health
insurance, which would be discussed later that tonight.
Tony moved to the next item, which is to improve city purchasing procedures and
practices. He inquired as to if there were any reason that we should not proceed with
that. There were none.
Tony stated the next item is to stop charitable donations. Councilwoman Wilkerson
expressed a problem with this topic. She said there are a couple who deliver services
to the City that serve the people. Councilwoman Wilkerson recommended some type
of contractual basis for these services based on need, such as Children’s Advocacy
Center. Mayor Fendley advised they talked about that at budget time and putting it
into Karl’s budget.
Tony proceeded to the next item which is to reduce operating inefficiencies by meter
replacements, meter testing and meter sizing.
Tony moved to the last item, which is to reduce external financing costs, replacing
vehicles by establishing an equipment replacement pool to internally finance, and to
charge on actuary basis.
Councilman Wilson said he was extremely uncomfortable with self insurance. Tony
Williams explained to Council that the private insurance market ran cities across this
State out years ago, because of the increases. Tony stated we are encouraging
utilization and to correct that we will have to cut into the benefits.
Tony Williams said that he will pull back the staff reductions Council asked for and
will get the information about the civil service election process.
Mayor Fendley summarized that Tony proceed ahead with addressing the issue of
bringing back a proposed combined EMS-Fire Department. Mayor Fendley said if
Regular City Council Meeting
March 14, 2005
Page 12
that is requires us to get out of civil service, we need to know what is proposed and
the legal ramifications of it. He further summarized that we want to address the issue
with the Children’s Advocacy Center and look at the prosecutor’s position.
Motion to approve by Councilman Poston. Councilwoman Wilkerson - second.
Motion carried - 6 ayes, 1 nays
10.Discuss and consider possible action regarding the Casa Bonita Apts.
Tony said there are five buildings on the site and the majority of ownership is not
public entities. From a code enforcement standpoint, we are going to go after those
that are under private ownerships, those that are derelict properties. Tony said he will
pursue trying to find some blight elimination money and come back to Council in the
next couple of months of how to finance the demolition and removal of all that
property that use to be the Casa Bonita Apartments.
11.Consider, discuss, and provide direction to city staff or consider possible action
regarding possible modifications to the City Employee Health Insurance Plan.
Tony Williams gave a summary of the following: For the employees and retirees we
have a program after the $500.00 deductible, it is an 80/20 plan. There is a drug card,
an office co-pay on the office visit, and the out-of-pocket cost is $2,500.00. What we
are proposing to do is a significant change. It would still have the $500.00 deductible,
but instead of being a 80% pay, it would become a 70% pay in-system pay and a 50%
pay out-of-system where it was a 70%. The out-of-pocket would be increased to
$3,000.00 and the drug plan would go to a straight 70% pay. Dental and vision
coverage would become optional. The rates for retirees have gone up so dramatically
so we have gone out and got some other options for retirees to consider, but are less
benefits. To continue with the exact same coverage as last year, they anticipated we
would need to charge 22% more. We don’t have an extra $500,000.00 for this
program.
