Proposed Budget was presented to the Budget Committee on May 13, 2008 and
again on May 21, 2008. At its May 21, 2008 meeting, the Budget Committee
recommended the Proposed Budget be sent to the City Council at-large, with
additional information regarding the recommendation of the 13.5 new/reinstated
June 3,2008
Page 3
positions, as well as a menu of potential expenditure reductions of at least
$500,000.00. City Manager Martinez reviewed the General Fund's executive
budget summary. Finance Director Kundig reported the proposed budget
provides a balanced budget for fiscal year 2008-2009 with estimated General
Fund sources over requirements of$56,995.00 and an ending unreserved fund
balance in the General Fund of $4,427,549.00. As discussed in the City
Manager's Proposed Budget Message, the choices made in developing the fiscal
year 2008-2009 budget were guided by the City Council's priorities as defined
by its goals and objectives, recommendations of the Mayor's Blue Ribbon
Committee, the City's Financial Management Plan, community input, the City
Manager's assessment of organizational needs, sound fiscal policies and the
current economy. In accordance with Ordinance No. 2660, which requires a
balanced budget and established reserves, the fiscal year 2008-2009 proposed
budget provides a budget that does not use reserves for on-going expenditures,
but balances these expenditures with recurring revenues and adds to reserve
levels in accordance with the City Council's goal for a fiscally healthy and
economically sustainable city. Highlights of the budget included:
• Fiscal Year 2008-2009 ending fund balance of$47,013,247.00 for all funds,
with $4,427,549.00 in the General Fund, and $42,585,698.00 for all other
funds;
• Addition of $1,225,000.00 to General Fund reserves during fiscal year
2008-2009 for Fire constant manning overtime ($700,000.00), Police
overtime for major crimes ($250,000.00), and increased health benefits
anticipated in January 2009 ($275,000.00); if the constant manning reserve
is spent as expected, ending reserves at June 30, 2009, will be at 11 percent;
• Flattening of the organization's management structure and the addition of
13.5 new/reinstated positions, to put "boots on the ground" and meet the
City Council's overall goals and objectives, in particular, its objective for
enhanced service levels;
• Funding for special services that address the City Council goals of superior
municipal services and a community with superior public physical assets
that include:
➢ $300,000.00 for streets, curbs and sidewalks;
➢ $100,000.00 for tree trimming;
➢ $100,000.00 for buildings/structures;
➢ $75,000.00 for communication and technology(included in the IT
internal service fund allocation).
A number of long-term high-level employees are expected to retire at the end of
fiscal year 2007-2008 or during fiscal year 2008-2009. Due to their length of
service with the City, they have accrued large leave balances that must be paid
to them when they retire. The estimated payout for the five known retirees is at
least $365,000.00. The City Manager has recommended paying these one-time
payouts out of the City's General Fund reserves. General Fund reserves will be
reduced by the amount of the payouts and transferred to the General Fund
unreserved fund balance. As a result, sources will increase in the General Fund
operating budget. When the payouts are made, requirements would increase by
June 3,2008
Page 4
a like amount, thereby maintaining a balanced operating budget. A sales tax
consultant, Lloyd Delamos from HDL, reported they were extremely
conservative in their analysis of projected revenue. He also informed
Councilmembers about the property tax revenue.

at 4:43 P.M.
Discussion continued regarding the proposed budget. Finance Director Kundig
reviewed the proposed re-organization of the Police Department and proposed
staff reductions in the Fire Department which was discussed at length. Police

and that the current and new Fire Chiefs decide the functions of the position.

positions would be filled and return to the City Council with that
recommendation on June 17, 2008, and further that the Budget Committee
review the budget quarterly. Motion seconded by Councilmember Gilbreath.
and carried with Councilmember Aguilar and Bean voting NO. Councilmember

Department. Councilmember Gallagher seconded the motion for the purpose of

NEW BUSINESS
Heritage Park - The Barton Schoolhouse - Quality of Life Director van Dorst
reported the Barton Schoolhouse located on Nevada Street is reputed to be
Redlands' first one-room schoolhouse. This structure has alternately been a
residence and a church at various times during its history. The parcel occupied
by the schoolhouse is planned for development by the property owner. Only
two options apply to this structure. First, the schoolhouse could be subject to
demolition following a prescribed study required for an historical structure.
Second, the structure could be moved to a new location. City staff anticipate
that the latter option, preserving or moving the structure, will have the support
of the Redlands Conservancy and the Redlands Historic and Scenic
Preservation Commission. To this end, staff presented moving the structure as
an option to the developer. The developer has agreed to move the structure to
Heritage Park. The estimated cost of moving the structure is $28,500.00 which
does not include placement of the structure on a new foundation nor does it
include any of the work necessary to restore or otherwise secure the structure
from potential vandalism or entry. The minimum cost of providing a foundation
along with minimal site work would be $41,800.00. A concept plan for the
Heritage Park was developed in 1999 but does not include historical buildings
or structures. Staff is also recommending the development of a new master plan
of the Heritage Park site to include additional historical structures that could be
slated for demolition in the future. Staff also proposes to develop a site that will
highlight the City's agricultural and citrus heritage in and around historical
structures that could otherwise be lost to the City. Margie Armantrout, member
of the Redlands Conservancy and the Heritage Park Committee, urged the City
Council to proceed with this proposal. Councilmember Harrison noted he did
not want us to become overly ambitious with putting structures in the Heritage
Park as he did not want to lose the open space amenity. With the assurance
staff would make sure we have the resources to preserve the schoolhouse before
proceeding, Councilmember Gilbreath moved to direct staff to prepare and
distribute a request for proposal to local nonprofit organizations for preservation
and restoration of the Barton Schoolhouse on the grounds of Heritage Park and
further directed staff to develop, subject to funding, a new concept plan for
Heritage Park that includes the Barton Schoolhouse and footprints for future
buildings of historical significance that could be moved to this site. Motion
seconded by Councilmember Gallagher and carried unanimously.
Business License Taxes - Commercial Properties Landlords - Finance Director
Kundig reported that recently, the voters of the City of Redlands approved the
establishment of a business license tax for landlords of commercial distribution
facilities based upon the gross receipts of the past twelve months. Although it
has been legally authorized to do so, the City has not historically collected a
business license tax from landlords of other commercial properties in the City.
Staff suggests it is inequitable for the City to impose a business license tax on.
some landlords of commercial properties, but administratively "overlook"
compliance with the City's business license tax requirements by landlords of
June 3,2008
Page 7
other commercial properties. Staff has reviewed the provisions of the Code
with the City Attorney and has concluded that the Code sections identified
above impose a business license tax requirement on landlords of commercial
properties. Although the City has historically not made any effort to collect the
tax from such landlords, staff recommends the City Council concur with staff's
recommendation to commence collection of the required business license tax
from landlords of commercial businesses. Councilmember Gilbreath moved to
direct staff to undertake efforts to collect business license taxes from landlords
of commercial properties. Motion seconded by Councilmember Gallagher and
carried unanimously.
Transportation Facilities Development Impact Fee - Councilmember Gilbreath
moved that the City maintain its current Transportation Facilities Development
Impact Fee to allow for an evaluation of the current Transportation Facilities fee
structure and allow for adjustment in coordination with the SANBAG update of
the Development Mitigation Nexus Study and update the cost estimates for
freeway interchanges in the Nexus Study and Measure "I" 2010-2040
interchange program. Motion seconded by Councilmember Gilbreath and
carried unanimously.
Funds - Contract Award - Safety Hall Seismic Retrofit Project - Bids were
opened and publicly declared on May 22, 2008, by the City Clerk for the Safety
Hall Seismic Retrofit Project; a bid opening report is on file in the Office of the
City Clerk. Councilmember Gilbreath moved to determine that the award of the
contract for construction of the Safety Hall Seismic Retrofit Project is exempt
from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act
pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301(d). Motion seconded by
Councilmember Gallagher and carried unanimously. Councilmember Gilbreath
moved to appropriate $556,000.00 from the Public Facilities Fund for Police
Facilities (Public Facilities Fund) to construct the Safety Hall Seismic Retrofit
Project. Motion seconded by Councilmember Gallagher and carried
unanimously. Councilmember Gilbreath moved to approve the plans and
specifications for the Safety Hall Seismic Retrofit Project and award the
construction contract to W. B. Allen Construction, Inc. in the amount of
$505,360.00, authorized a construction contingency of $50,640.00 for a total
amount of$556,000.00 and authorized the Mayor to execute, and the City Clerk
to attest to, the document on behalf of the City. Motion seconded by
