PROCEEDING OF THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE
Mr. John O. Norquist, Mayor appeared and addressed the Committee relative to the Proposed Budget.
MAYOR JOHN O. NORQUISTS 2004
Budget Address
September 23, 2003
President Pratt, honorable members of the Common Council. Good morning.
For some of you, this will be the 16th budget that we've worked on together.
By now, there's no mystery left in how we budget.
Our budgets are an open book -- what you see is what you get.
Call it boring if you want to, but here's what we do:
· We look for ways to improve city government and run it more efficiently.
· We reduce the size of the city workforce.
· We hold down spending.
· We keep taxes and fees as low as possible.
· We maintain good-sized reserves so taxpayers don't get stuck with surprises down the road.
If you're like me, you once thought that this kind of responsible budgeting was the norm. It's what's expected of public officials. And it's what our constituents deserve.
But the last few years have taught us that not everybody shares this opinion.
We've seen accounting tricks and insider dealing from companies like Enron and WorldCom and learned that those problems don't stop with the private sector.
We've seen a lot of government budgets that are like used cars - they look OK on the lot. Just don't look under the hood -- you'll find an engine held together with duct tape. And don't drive it off the lot or the wheels will fall off.
Tommy Thompson and Scott McCallum touted themselves as conservative Republicans committed to creating a pro-business tax climate. Instead, they jacked up state spending and piled on new state employees, creating a train wreck that left the state with a $3 billion dollar deficit. Instead of rolling up his sleeves and cutting state government like it needed to be cut, McCallum balanced his first budget by raiding all of the state's tobacco money. Then for an encore, he proposed eliminating all aid payments to cities. In other words, he left a mess.
Tom Ament was seen as steady hand who'd keep county government on an even keel. Editorials praised him for “honestly trying to meet the county's diverse …needs while also keeping taxes in check.” But he passed huge pension and sick leave payouts for himself and insiders in his administration that sent the county into major budgetary distress.
Scott Walker has the challenge of fixing this mess and he has the right instincts in wanting to protect taxpayers from the effects of the pension scandal. But to meet a no-tax-increase campaign pledge, last year he cut some budgeting corners - underfunding the pension, overestimating revenues and draining reserves down to nothing. The results included unexpected parks layoffs this summer and other budget problems that could erupt later.
Given how reckless the Thompson-McCallum and Ament administrations were in squandering tax dollars, who can blame taxpayers for being fed up? Who can blame them for calling for relief at every level of government?
In his short time in office, Governor Doyle has demonstrated his character as a budgeter. He recognized that budgeting tricks appear to give taxpayers what they want in the short run, but backfire and hurt taxpayers in the long run. So Governor Doyle cut 2900 positions from the state's bloated bureaucracy. This was his first step towards his goal of cutting 12,000 positions and getting state government back to the size it was before Tommy Thompson took office.
He also had the good sense to reject the Republican's local tax freeze proposal as the political stunt it was. Doyle knew that legislators who proposed the freeze for local government would never do that with state tax collections.
The governor did ask local officials to share in the pain and help the state out of its mess. He proposed big but acceptable cuts in shared revenue - a $9.7 million cut for the City of Milwaukee, far short of the $24 million that Republicans would have bled from the city so they could transfer it to the wealthy communities they represent.
After he signed his budget, the governor asked me to freeze our levy if we could.
I considered his request carefully and decided that I would only propose a levy freeze if we could do it responsibly. We'd create a budget with integrity - avoiding short cuts or tricks. If we could freeze the levy, we'd do it.
I reported last week that it could be done. Today, I'm proposing a budget that results in a tax levy of $197 million. That's no increase over last year's levy.
With this freeze, we maintain our long-term record of keeping levy increases under the rate of inflation. In inflation-adjusted dollars, our property tax levy is $20.1 million smaller now than it was in 1988. You should be proud of your role in establishing this record of protecting and respecting the taxpayers of this city. It's unmatched by county, state or federal government.
In 1988, the County tax levy was $112.8 million compared to the City's tax levy of $144.5 million for the same year. The County levy has since grown to $219.0 million in 2003 compared to $197.0 million for the City. This growth in the County levy occurred despite the addition of a countywide one-half percent sales tax.
Since 1988, we've held our operating spending under the rate of inflation, while the state's has up at TWICE the rate of inflation.
This budget also lowers the tax rate to $9.62 per $1000 of assessed value - 53 cents less than last year's rate and $3.47 less than the rate in 1988 when I took office. In fact, it was 1945 when the City of Milwaukee last had a lower tax rate. No doubt, some of you will remember that in 1945, John Bohn was mayor.
And there are no increases in the major fees we charge - and no increases in parking meter rates.
We found we could freeze the levy responsibly. Here's how we did it. And here's how we didn't do it:
We didn't short-change the pension system, as the county chose to do in 2003. That just puts off a tax obligation and leaves a big bill for future taxpayers.
Even though our pension systems is considered fully funded, we'll put $3 million into pension reserves again. This is a tough budget year, but we'll make the same responsible contribution as last year.
We're not draining our reserves. We're standing by our practice of maintaining our stabilization fund at 5% of general operating expenditures.
This budget uses the fund as it was intended - to stabilize taxes at a time when the state is in fiscal crisis and we're having to absorb a major loss of shared revenue.
A responsible withdrawal will leave the fund with an ending balance of about $30 million. That's about $30 million larger than the reserves of the state or county combined.
We're protecting our debt reserves. With the enthusiastic approval of City Comptroller Wally Morics, we're withdrawing a million less from them than last year.
We're maintaining our infrastructure with a capital budget slightly higher than last year, including money that will help us plan for a new North Side regional library and build a new fire repair shop.
We're maintaining our traditional $12 million contribution to M.P.S. for school buildings.
We're not overestimating revenues. They're estimated very conservatively in consultation with the comptroller. You won't see the city experience the county's mid-summer parks budget collapse.
We're not spinning off any departments or proposing new taxing jurisdictions.
No gimmicks: we're freezing the levy with responsible cost reductions.
As we prepared to absorb the $9.7 million loss of shared revenue, we had one major factor in our favor: Our health care costs came in more than $9 million under projections. If our increase had been more in line with other major employers, freezing the levy responsibly would have been impossible.
Through several rounds of negotiations with unions and several budgets, we've created incentives for them to get out of the expensive fee-for-service plan, where provider choice is unlimited and costs are high. Employees have responded by choosing lower cost plans.
It wasn't easy to get unions to accept these incentives, but this work is now paying off for taxpayers.
The school board's health plan is out of control. The county's is unaffordable. Ours is helping us save money and provide good health insurance for employees at the same time.
Our health care cost increase this year came in at 2% -- compared to a 25% increase at the county.
To freeze the levy, we needed more than just health care savings. We needed more cost cuts in city government. And we've made them.
As a result, operating spending in this budget increases less than 1% -- well under the rate of inflation. The proposed tax levy in 2004 is actually $20 million smaller than the levy in 1988 in inflation adjusted dollars.
In doing the right thing for taxpayers, we're not shortchanging employees, however. We're not reopening labor contracts. We're not asking employees to work a shorter week.
Our city employees enjoy fair pay and good benefits. They deserve to earn a decent living. But we need to face the fact that our citizens can only afford so much. That's why that number has had to go down. And why city government must continue to shrink.
We've been cutting government for years. Between 1988 and 2003, we cut 750 positions from city government. This budget cuts 643 more positions. By the time these cuts are implemented, our workforce will be 14% smaller.
We've worked to minimize layoffs. About 75 of the eliminated positions are currently filled. Some of the affected employees will retire or bump into other positions, but some will actually be laid off.
Fortunately, because of our renewed commitment to a hiring freeze, many of the eliminated positions are already unfilled and layoffs are much smaller than they would have been otherwise.
Yes, when you eliminate nearly 650 positions and freeze taxes, there's no way to make these cuts invisible. Citizens will notice some changes in how city services are delivered. But I believe they will find these changes acceptable. Under this budget, Milwaukee taxpayers will still be well served by the city. They'll just be receiving the government that they can afford.
In the winter months, garbage will be picked up every 8 days instead of every 7.
We will prune all street trees every five years - instead of every three years for small trees and every six years for large trees.
In the summer months, we will mow boulevards less frequently. Currently, we fertilize our boulevards. We water them. We create this crop that we need to pay people to harvest and haul away to a landfill.
Can't we find other ways to keep our boulevards beautiful? Can't we use groundcover and other native plants that don't need mowing - plants with deeper roots that help them survive dry periods?
Let me ask you this: Do you want to tell the legislature and the governor that we need shared revenue to keep our boulevards bright green in August? I don't think we'll get a very sympathetic audience.
We're not cutting the hours at all of our city libraries, but we are proposing the closing of Villard Library. It's the least used of our branch libraries and would require major substantial renovations.
To make city government more affordable, we made changes in every city department, including fire and police.
Although we'll eliminate 113 vacant police positions, there will be no layoffs of sworn personnel. And instead of three, there will be two police classes.
In the fire department, we eliminate 54 vacant firefighter positions, primarily by standardizing the staffing of engine companies at 4 firefighters per truck. When the City of Chicago surveyed 23 big cities, only Milwaukee, New York and Chicago staffed some of their engine companies with 5 people. Everyone else was at 4, except for Indianapolis, which was at 3.
We already staff some of our engine companies at 4 now and this budget brings the rest of them to this big-city standard. Fire Chief Wentlandt proposed the change and vows it will not reduce his ability to fight fires and provide EMS services.
In the coming weeks, we'll be happy to review each of the departments in detail and explain how changes were designed to deliver vital services at a cost taxpayers can afford.
Earlier, I said I was proposing a tax-levy-freeze budget because Governor Doyle asked me to do it. I decided it was the right thing to do if we could it responsibly.
But I've got to admit. I wasn't the only one who had the idea. Council President Marvin Pratt says he agrees with the freeze. Alderman Tom Nardelli wants a freeze, as does fellow mayoral candidate Vince Bobot. County Executive Scott Walker is for the freeze. And the leaders of the police and fire unions - Brad DeBraska and Greg Gracz - have supported both a city levy freeze and the Republican plan to reduce our shared revenue payment by an extra $14 million. State senators Tim Carpenter and Jeff Plale have asked for a freeze.
Holding taxes as low as possible makes sense for other reasons.
First, it sends the right message to the Governor and the legislature at a time when the state is finally reviewing its own budgets. By keeping our spending low while maintaining acceptable service levels, we show the state that we're responsible stewards of the state revenue they share with us every year.
Second, freezing the levy reduces the long-term costs of municipal government for Milwaukee taxpayers. In the short term, having 643 fewer employees on the books saves the city about $30 million per year. In future years, it helps hold down the increases in our employee health care costs. And having 600 fewer people enrolled in our pension system significantly improves its financial stability.
Finally, holding down taxes helps the city thrive. It helps us keep our cost of living competitive, which invites people to live and invest in the city and appreciate the great advantages of urban life.
Our downtown housing market is booming, with 2040 units added since 1998. The downtown population has increased 77% since 1990.
The hot residential market and re-energized office market are fueling a building boom. We added $301 million in new construction in 2002, according to the state Department of Revenue.
This unprecedented level of investment creates jobs.
We've done a lot to encourage this renaissance by creating a pro-growth tax climate. When I took office, Milwaukee had the second highest tax rate in the county. That ranking confirmed our reputation for high taxes and acted as a drag on development.
Our tax rate is currently the eighth highest in the county - closely bunched with others near the middle of the pack. At a time when other municipalities have announced their intention to freeze their levies, this budget will again help us stay competitive.
Milwaukee is a great city, a beautiful city. But for a long time, people had negative feelings about cities in general - and Milwaukee was no exception.
But that's changed. There's a significant part of the real estate market that wants to live, work and play in the city. If companies want highly educated creative and tech workers, they need to be in an urban setting. As local real estate broker Robert Flood told the Journal this Sunday in explaining why a tech company choose a downtown site: “"If I'm a 20-something IT engineer, I want to look at the services and amenities of downtown instead of going out to a cornfield."
Milwaukee has a rich culture, a tradition of excellence in the workplace and beautiful neighborhoods and a downtown that are gaining confidence every day.
People in Milwaukee are starting to realize that our city is someplace very special. You saw this with Harley Fest and on Martin Luther King Drive and on Lincoln Avenue, Mitchell Street, West Vliet Street and Chavez Drive.
Now we have more work to do. This budget comes at an important time the city's history when we need to demonstrate fiscal responsibility to our bond rating agencies, to state legislators and the governor, and most of all to our own taxpayers.
