span multiple years are included in the budget resolution to be carried over automatically. The proposed budget includes the estimated amounts remaining in each of these projects. After the Fiscal Year 2021-22 books are closed and the actual amounts are finalized, the Fiscal Year 2022- 23 budget will be updated to reflect the actual remaining amounts. Regarding the staffing budget includes the addition of five positions in public safety; two in the police department, three in the fire department. Director Leaver gave a detailed report on the General Fund Reserve and for the City to have a 25% reserve for a 90 day operating expenses, it would be $2,147,293.00.
There were no comments from the public.
Director Leaver gave an overview from what was discussed at the Budget Workshop. She went over the Housing Authority Fund with an estimated fund balance of $434,687.00. For the RV Park Fund the estimated working capital would be $353,061.00; the Sewer Fund proposed working capital is $2,684,857.00. For the Sewer Fund, the working capital increased until FY18-19 and is now declining. The increase in reserves was due to reduced expenses and deferral of maintenance and CIP. The long-term forecast shows a structural deficit (ongoing revenues are not enough to support ongoing costs, maintenance, capital improvements, and debt service). The State has provided funding for an updated rate study for which we are presently working on.
There were no comments from the public.
The water Fund has a proposed estimated working capital of $1,940,337.00; she went over the Capital Improvement Projects being budgeted for. Director Leaver went over the other minor funds for the City. She advised the Council by adopting the resolution for the appropriations limit they are adopting the calculation of that number. She explained what each of the other resolutions would be adopting. Council Member Altman asked for clarification on if the Reserve Policy had been changed and we aren't touching the reserve; Director Leaver said that there are some changes as the old policy from 2013 did not identify what the 25% was from. This policy clarifies that we are not including those capital improvements or the one-time grant projects in that calculation. Council Member Altman asked about the grants matching funds and if it wasn't included in that list; Director Leaver stated that the matching funds are being included, but not the part that the grant pays for. Council Member Smith asked if the 90-day operating expenses stayed the same in the policy; Director Leaver explained that it was the same. The 25% being clarified is that we wouldn't need another 25% of a capital improvement project. Mayor Greenough spoke of his approval of the budget presented for adoption and a lot of it is from Measure S revenues.
Council Member Inscore stated that one of the big discussions from the community was how to fix Front Street and the portion of it has been done. This budget includes building out two more blocks of Front Street. Both Council Member Inscore and Mayor Greenough commended the Measure S Oversight Committee to their diligence to have the funds accounted for.
The following citizens addressed the Council:
Kelly Schellong: spoke about her speaking to residents about Measure S and making sure they understood what it funded and encouraged the Council to continue reaching out to residents.
Linda Sutter: wanted to clarify that she was not a proponent to repeal Measure S because she lives in the County, however, she is a strong proponent against Measure R.
Chief Griffin wanted to clarify that Measure S is not adding to the PD's wages and benefits, it is enhancing staffing to give Crescent City more patrol; two officers and one sergeant on shifts together; will also fund hiring a detective. Additionally, it will fund new patrol cars as the ones being used are in need of replacement. Council Member Smith spoke about he doesn't like taxes, however, the Measure S Oversight Committee has been very transparent and making sure the money is being used properly. He stated he was leery about Measure S at first, but it is getting used correctly.

• Approve and authorize the City Manager to sign the Agreement for Fred Endert Municipal Pool Building Improvements with Johnson Controls, for the renovation of the Fred Endert Municipal Swimming Pool HVAC and other systems
City Manager Wier asked the Council to consider pulling this item as staff was unable to have a contract in time for the meeting, the contract in the agenda is in draft form. Staff is working with Johnson Controls to come to terms. Council Member Inscore stated his concern of the hard date of June 24t and if not approved, the fluctuation of prices goes into effect. City Manager Wier stated that at this time, staff is not ready to bring the contract to the Council. When it is brought back, it will more than likely be the $1.1million but there has been some scope changes being discussed with Johnson Controls in regard to the project, what it includes and what it excludes.
Mayor Greenough asked if there was a timeline to get it accomplished in two weeks; City Manager Wier said it was possible, there is a planned joint City Council/Fire District meeting scheduled for the 27" it could be agendized then. The Council spoke in favor of making sure the terms are agreeable and that staff should continue negotiating with Johnson Controls. City Manager Wier stated that a meeting is scheduled with them tomorrow. City Attorney Rice stated that the price is important and what is being purchased is important as well. It's important to ensure that the City and Johnson Controls are on the same page with the specifics in the scope and what we are getting for it. If it costs a little bit more to get the things we absolutely need to have done, that is another discussion. The reason for the date in question was so that Johnson Controls wouldn't be on the hook for any escalation; they are working on confirming prices again presently. There will be a new date and the Notice to Proceed will need to be issued to get the price. Council Member Smith spoke of not feeling confident to work with Johnson Controls at this point. Further stating that if the prices escalate, we would have to go through it all over again. City Manager Wier stated that if they cannot come to terms with Johnson Controls, the project would have to be reevaluated. There is budget for this project of $1.18million, which leaves $80k in contingency.
The following citizen addressed the Council:
Linda Sutter: asked how many times did the pool need to be renovated and spoke about the price changing on the WWTP when it was constructed.
Kelly Schellong: spoke on behalf of the Measure S Oversight Committee; the pool will never make money because it is a public facility. Is disappointed that a project was not ready for the Council to approve as it's what the recommendation of the Measure S Oversight Committee a long time ago.
On a motion by Council Member Inscore, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Wright, and carried on a 5-0 polled vote, the City Council of the City of Crescent City continued this item until the next meeting either regularly scheduled or special meeting.
