PUBLIC HEARING

7:15 P.M.

 

 

OPEN DISCUSSION REGARDING THE PROPOSED 2008 BUDGET

 

 

Mrs. Hammond opened the public hearing at 7:15 P.M. with the following members present:  Mrs. Riggs, Mr. Fix, Mr. Hackworth, Mrs. Hammond, Mr. Sabatino, and Mr. Wisniewski.  Others present were:  Judy Gilleland, Lynda Yartin, Linda Fersch, Chris Schornack, Ed Drobina, Chief Taylor, Brian Sauer, Tricia Sanders, Rex Myer, Rachel Scofeld, Carol Carter, Jerry Makela, Rob Pike, Dave Rossman, and others. 

 

Mrs. Hammond inquired if anyone present would like to address the budget this evening.  Ms Gilleland stated she would be providing a power point presentation during the regular meeting this evening. 

 

Ms Carter stated normally when cuts are being made, it does not begin with the workers, but at the insurance level, such as deleting dental or vision insurance, increasing premium costs, etc.    She questioned if the City would go in that direction before cutting personnel.  Ms Gilleland stated the City is looking at some cost savings measures in the insurance area.  She stated employees are being requested to increase their contribution for the premiums and we are also introducing a Health Savings Account, which is a high deductible program that will save both the employee and the City quite a bit of money. 

 

Mr. Wisniewski stated he would like to clarify that no personnel have been cut out of this budget.  Mrs. Hammond stated the City would look at all avenues before making any decisions about cutting personnel. 

 

There being no further questions or comments, Mrs. Hammond closed the public hearing at 7:20 P.M., December 4, 2007.
