FY 2013-2014 BUDGETS - CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ADOPTION
The meeting was called to order as a joint session with the City Council.
Chairman Aguilar called on Finance Director Tina Kundig to provide an
executive summary of the proposed FY 2013-2014 Budget. As public comment,
Jerry Burgess, of the Friends of the A.K. Smiley Library, requested
reconsideration of the amount of funds allocated to the library and pointed out
unfunded infrastructure needs related to the building. Representing the
Redlands Tea Party, Sam Wong and Marilyn Snyder spoke in support of fiscal
responsibility. Dennis Bell called for an end to fee waivers. Steve Rogers
inquired about the need for a General Plan update. As members of the Budget
Subcommittee, Ms. Gilbreath and Mr. Gardner provided their perceptions on the
document submitted for consideration. Ms. Gilbreath highlighted the need to
address unfunded needs at the goal-setting workshop scheduled for the City
Council on June 28, 2013. Mr. Gardner pointed out that the proposed budget
meets the requirements of his "big four": (1) It is balanced, (2) there are no
loans from other funds to make it balanced, (3) it protects and increases
contingency reserves, and (4) no new taxes are needed in support of the
budget. On motion of Ms. Gilbreath, seconded by Mr. Gardner, the Board
unanimously approved the Budget as presented. As a summary of the
discussion on this item, Chairman Aguilar listed items to be addressed at the
goal-setting workshop as library air conditioning, General Plan update, COPS
grant, fire equipment, and fee waivers.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Open Government — Steve Rogers expressed his frustration when seeking
