Personnel and Fianace Committee September 9, 1992 Page 4 Council Member Puzzello questioned whether Mr. Fozo's input is being used by the City in the relocation. He noted that hopefully his input will be. He also noted that there is a need for computerization in light of the permit system and that there is a need for additional radios however there is no base of operations. He also noted that approximately $63,550.00 of projected budgeted monies will be returned to the General Fund because of the current inadequate working conditions. He then highlighted the return of monies to the County General Fund over the past several years. He noted that to date his department has taken in$423,418.28 which is far ahead of the projected revenue. In response to a question raised by Council Member Zakrzewski,Mr.Horton noted that the time table for relocation should realize new space by October 1 for the department. Mr. Fozo noted that the contractors registration program will take effect on November 1 and it will require desks to be placed in the hallway if space is not addressed soon. Mr.Horton then passed out information in response to Council Member Puzzello's request for information. Each is numbered in response to the question raised by Council Member Puzzello. Mr. Horton noted that there are 318 individuals in the non-bargaining unit and the City proposal reflects $1,000.00 times the 318 individuals reflecting an overall increase of 4.334%. The base wages would be frozen at 1992 rates except for those indicated. The Mayor is requesting a one year ordinance for non-bargaining which reflects some positions where monies would be added to the base. Mr.Horton also noted that the City Clerk has requested that each of her employees receive $1,000.00 to the base instead of the bonus. This is not reflected in the handouts provided by Mr. Horton. He also noted that the merit bonus program reflects that for each of the three years that there was a $50,000.00 beginning amount with a $50,000.00 increase each year. The City Administration is therefore requesting an additional$50,000.00 for next year bringing it to a total of$200,000.00. He did note however in response to questions that the City would be willing to negotiate on the merit bonus concept in light of the adjustments requested on the non-bargaining position. There being no further business to come before the Committee the meeting was adjourned at 6:25 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Council Member Ann Puzzello Chairperson,Personnel and Finance Committee attachments
