HomeMy WebLinkAboutItem #34 - Discussion ItemAttached is an updated budget projection for fiscal year 1982 prepared by the Department of Management and Budget, which shows a $10.3 million shortfall, This shortfall takes into consideration the policy expressed by the City Commission at its April 23, 1981 meeting that 186 police officer positions be added in FY '82. The cost of this action is $5.6 million: Without the 186 additional positions, the shortfall would be $4.7 million. Similarly, a shortfall of $10.3 million would require a reduction of 505 positions from departments other than Police and Fire, while a shortfall of $4.7 million would only require the reduction of 270 positions. The City's current work force (excluding CETA) is 3,396. Of this number, 1,787 or 530z� represents Police and Fire employees. The other 1,609 or 47% represents all remaining departments. If the City Commission continues its policy not to cut Police and Fire, then the $10.3 million shortfall will probably have to be absorbed by the remaining departments. To illustrate the significance of this action on the remainder of the City, a reduction of 505 positions from the targeted work force of 1,609 represents a cut of 31%. In dollar terms, this means that all departments except Police and Fire will have to reduce their budgets by 2 In order to fulfill the City Commission policy that the current budget be reduced in sufficient amounts to begin the next fiscal year budget with a balanced budget, the annual base of the current budget must be reduced by $8.2 million (400 positions) by July 1, 1981. This action will save S2.1 million this fiscal year and S8.2 million next fiscal year. It should be noted that the aforementioned projected shortfalls assumes that union -negotiated salary increases for fiscal year 1982 will not exceed 10" or S6 million. If this assumption does not hold true, that is, if unions ask for more than 10", the shortfall and the number of employees to be laid off will increase. For every percentage increase, in salaries under negotiation, the shortfall will increase by $600,000 and the number of layoffs will increase by 33. I would like to reiterate my recommendation of May 15, 1981 that the City not increase the number of sworn personnel in the Police Department by the use of General Fund monies. It is suggested that proposed increases be accomplished by establishing special police taxing districts. s � My r°easohs for ree6mmt hding this policy a,re as followsa The City of Miami wa§ established as a full -service city with all of the functions normally provided by fuliservice cities. Since the establishment of Miami as a full service City, the City has relinquished some of its full service Pes ponsibilities to Dade County such as the libraries, public welfare, publicity, tax collection, water and sewers and the ports. The remaining non Police and Fire services of the City are constantly being dwindled due to inflation, cost of labor and materials, expectations of the citiehry, and the 10 mill limitation on ad valorem taxes. To continue to add sworn police officers at the expense of other services, particularly when there is another alternative, will in effect continue to erode our position as a full -service City and thereby fall far short of citizen expectations. This problem was raised recently by the bond rating companies at a meeting I had with them last month. Their concern is that the City is putting itself in a posture of not addressing the problems and needs of a growing metropolis.
