11/21/2001	0	MAYOR	RETURNED NOT SIGNED; Minutes note: November 21, 2001 To The Honorable Common Council of the City of Milwaukee Honorable Members of the Common Council: On November 9, 2001, you adopted a budget that demonstrated our continuing shared commitment to minimize the cost of government to Milwaukee's taxpayers. Because of your actions, city government will continue to operate more efficiently and more effectively, and I sincerely appreciate your hard work on this budget. I know you share my concerns about providing services that add value to the lives of citizens at a minimal cost. While the city's largest revenue source, State Shared Revenue, grew by 1% in 2002, this modest increase does not keep pace with the city's significant increases in wage and health care costs. That is why it is more important than ever to control the city's spending. We must continue to evaluate our current operations so that resources may be targeted more effectively to address the city's needs. I do have concerns about reducing certain equipment purchases in 2002. In developing the proposed budget, equipment condition and replacement cycles were closely analyzed. This analysis supported the level of new police squad cars and fire engine (pumper) trucks that was presented in the proposed budget. However, I understand the Common Council's desire to balance the equipment replacement needs of the Fire and Police Department's with the economic realities of our citizens. We should not increase the tax burden on our citizens without an overriding public good as the result. I hope you find my veto actions to restore 2 fire engine (pumper) trucks and 14 police squad cars reflect this balance. I also have concerns regarding the elimination of funding for one capital project. The elimination of $600,000 from the Zeidler Municipal Building remodeling project will prolong the remodeling needs of this building into the future and significantly add to the costs of remodeling the 10th floor. The 2002 tax-levy impact of this project is small, but I believe the consequences of not completing this project as originally proposed, will cost the city considerably more in the future. It is my intent to minimize the impact of these vetoes on the city's taxpayers. The November 20, 2001 letter from City Comptroller Morics recognizing $400,000 in additional Payment for Municipal Services revenue from the State of Wisconsin will offset some of the fiscal impact of these vetoes. If sustained, the city's 2002 tax rate would increase to $10.87 per $1,000 of assessed value, a 3.6% increase over the 2001 tax rate of $10.49. I look for your support in sustaining the vetoes and I recommend that you adopt the related substitute actions. Veto of Items Contained in Common Council Amendment #42 Police Department - To Reduce Funding for 23 Police Squad Cars I am vetoing Common Council Amendment #42, which eliminates funding for 23 replacement police squad cars in the Police Department. This amendment will needlessly put the safety of our officers and our citizens at risk as well as reduce the city's ability to benefit from squad cars purchased with federal block grant dollars. The Milwaukee Police Department receives funding from the Local Law Enforcement Block Grant, funded through the United States Department of Justice. Over the past several years, the Milwaukee Police Department has used a majority of these grant funds to supplement the purchase of squad cars funded through the operating budget. Currently, 62.5% of these vehicles are purchased through operating funds and 37.5% of these vehicles are purchased through the Local Law Enforcement Block Grant. The proposed budget assumed the purchase of 47 squad cars through operating funds and 30 squad cars through block grant funds. Because of the rules of the grant, the city can not supplant operating budget squad cars with grant squad cars. Therefore, amendment #42 would allow the Police Department to only purchase 24 squad cars with operating funds and 14 squad cars through block grant funds, a reduction of nearly 50% from the proposed budget. It is important for the city to continue its commitment to public safety by properly equipping our police force. It is equally important that the taxpayers are asked to support this equipment at a level that they can afford and at a level that supports the overall public good. Therefore, in response to these concerns, my veto seeks to restore 14 squad cars, for a total of 38 cars. In doing so, the city will be able to utilize grant funds to purchase 25 additional squad cars through the Local Law Enforcement Block Grant. Since the city has been authorized to expend funds for the purchase of 30 squad cars by the U.S. Department of Justice (approved in Common Council File 010630), the city will attempt to utilize the unexpended funds through a reprogramming application. The Police Department will be able to utilize these funds in other law enforcement areas including patrol vehicles, motorcycles, and computers. Based upon the above reasons, I ask that you sustain my veto. Veto of Items Contained in Common Council Amendment #49 Capital Improvements Budget - To Eliminate Funding for Two Fire Engines (Pumper Trucks) I am vetoing Common Council Amendment #49, which eliminates capital funding for two fire engines (pumper trucks). I believe this amendment, if implemented, would affect the city's ability to adequately respond to emergency incidents and adversely impact public safety and the safety of the its fire fighters. As part of the 2001 city budget, the Budget and Management Division studied the Fire Department's emergency vehicle fleet in an effort to determine an appropriate replacement schedule for this equipment. The schedule proposed included the goal of replacing the Fire Department's emergency vehicle fleet (37 pumpers and 16 ladder trucks) within 12 years. This replacement cycle is consistent with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommendations for a life cycle of 10 - 14 years for front-line trucks. In order to meet this goal, the proposed replacement schedule outlined the purchase of three engines each year. This amendment would back away from this replacement cycle and allow the purchase of only one ladder and one engine truck in 2002. If this funding level were continued on an annual basis, it would extend the replacement cycle for pumper trucks from the current goal of 12 years to 37 years. I believe this amendment was originally offered in an effort to vocalize some member's concerns regarding the impact of Emergency Medical Service (EMS) calls on the Fire Department's engine and ladder fleet. As you know, the Fire Department's current EMS dispatch protocol often sends an engine as a first responder to many of these responses. The significant cost of replacing and repairing Fire apparatus, in light of tight fiscal constraints, has led many of you to question the logic of this dispatch protocol. I also share your concerns in this area. I have directed the Budget and Management Division to complete a study to examine the impact of the current EMS dispatch system on the Fire fleet, including alternative models to EMS dispatching and the financial impacts of each model. I have requested that the study be completed by early 2002, so that the information can be shared with members of the Common Council and incorporated, if appropriate, into the 2003 budget. Until the results of this study are completed, I ask that you sustain this veto. I believe that it is premature to back away for the replacement cycle established just last year. If the replacement cycle resulting from this amendment were to be implemented, the Fire Department's ability to respond to and fight fires would be severely compromised. Other impacts include the city's fire fighters being forced to work with outdated and potentially unsafe equipment, increased response times to emergency situations and significantly higher maintenance and repair costs. Veto of Items Contained in Common Council Amendment #52 Capital Improvements Budget - To Eliminate Funding for DPW Portion of DNS 10th Floor Zeidler Municipal Building Remodeling I am vetoing Common Council Amendment #52, which eliminates $600,000 of capital funding for the west wing of the 10th floor in the Zeidler Municipal Building (ZMB). This amendment eliminates funding for the Department of Public Works workspace portion of the Department of Neighborhood Services remodeling project. Currently, 25 DPW-Infrastructure Division employees are working at the Fire Department's former Engine #35 station house (North Hawley Road. and West Bluemound Road). It is the intent that the remodeling of the 10th floor will allow for these employees to return to the City Hall complex. Prior to DPW staff working at the former station house, this building was used by the Fire Department to store reserve equipment (engines, ladders, and MED units). The Fire Department is renting storage space from Coakley Brothers to store its reserve equipment until these employees relocate to another facility. Once the DPW staff vacates the property, the department will once again store reserve equipment at this location. By completing the remodeling project for the 10th floor of the Municipal Building, a number of efficiencies will result. First, the 10th floor's heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system will not have to be split, lowering the city's energy, repair, and maintenance costs. Second, the city will realize savings by not renting space to store its reserve equipment offsite. Finally, the Fire Department has an immediate need for this space. If this project is not fully completed, the city will incur additional costs for continued storage of Fire apparatus and/or relocation and facility rental charges for displaced employees. Based upon the above reasons, I ask that you sustain my veto. In closing, I would like to restate my appreciation for all of your hard work during the 2002 budget deliberations. I ask that you sustain all of my vetoes. Sincerely, JOHN O. NORQUIST Mayor POLICE DEPARTMENT AMENDMENT #42 A.
