080788 0 BudgetCommunication from the Mayor relating to the proposed 2009 budget.

Minutes note: Relating to the Mayor's Veto of Certain Budget Lines in Common Council Amendment #2B: Ald. Murphy move approval of the Mayor's Proposed Substitute Action, which would eliminate the 1% reduction in operating expenses for various purposes in the Department of Administration, Health Department, Milwaukee Public Library, Municipal Court, Department of Public Works-Infrastructure Services Division, and the Department of Public Works-Operations Division, totaling $244,700. Adoption of this Proposed Substitute Action will preserve $381,938 or 61% of the tax levy reduction impact from the Council's Amendment 2B, which totaled $-626,638. [Background: The Mayor disapproved of certain budget lines in Common Council Budget Amendment 2B to reduce the category "operating expenditures" in every city department by 1% except for the City Clerk, City Attorney, City Comptroller, City Treasurer, and Mayor. The amendment as drafted also excludes enterprise funds and the Employee Retire System. The tax levy impact is $-626,638.]

080788 0 BudgetCommunication from the Mayor relating to the proposed 2009 budget.

Minutes note: Relating to the Mayor's Veto of Certain Budget Lines in Common Council Amendment #40: Ald. Murphy move approval of the Mayor's Proposed Substitute Action, which would eliminate positions, funding and FTEs for 3 rather than 4 positions of Battalion Chief, while retaining the position authority and funding for the 3 Fire Captain-Safety Incident Officers. The one position of Battalion Chief is assigned to the Training Academy. Adoption of this Proposed Substitute Action will increase the property tax levy by $78,803, compared to the Council's action. [Background: The Mayor disapproved of certain budget lines in Common Council Budget Amendment 40 in the Fire Department to eliminate positions, funding and FTEs for 4 Battalion Chief positions, and to restore positions, funding and FTEs for 3 Fire Captain-Incident Safety Officers. The tax levy impact is $-83,196.]

080788 0 BudgetCommunication from the Mayor relating to the proposed 2009 budget.

Minutes note: Relating to the Mayor's Veto of Certain Budget Lines in Common Council Amendment #124: Ald. Murphy move approval of the Mayor's Proposed Substitute Action, which would provide for a transfer of $18,132,150 from the Parking Fund to the City's General Fund. Amendment 124 provided for a transfer of $18,432,150—about $300,000 more--which was based on a revenue estimate related to an increase in parking fines under Ordinance File 080749. Due to technical inconsistencies, the revenue estimate for the ordinance appears to be $300,000 too high. Therefore, the Mayor vetoed the ordinance as well. A new ordinance has been drafted to correct the technical problems, and will be introduced to Council today, but an adjustment to the fund transfer is still necessary. [Background: The Mayor disapproved of certain budget lines in Common Council Budget Amendment 124 related to the transfer of funds from the Parking Fund to the City's General Fund. About $300,000 of the $18,432,150 transfer was based upon a revenue estimate for increased parking fines.]
