FinanceCommittee Minutes..................................................................................................................................October 16,2018 <br /> <br />F. Contract Amendment: Labor Relations Support <br />Staff is seeking an amendment to Contract 18-035 with Cabot Dow & Associates for an additional <br />$23,000 to retain labor relations support services through December 31, 2018. There has been <br />additional work this year due to simultaneous negotiations and one contract going to <br />arbitration. The original amount of $35,000 does not cover these additional services. Chair <br />Quinn requested additional language to confirm the City will receive the data and any other <br />documentation. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO NOVEMBER 5, 2018 REGULAR <br />CONSENT AGENDA. <br /> <br />G. Proposed 2019-2020 Biennial Budget <br />Staff presented proposed budgets for the following departments: <br /> <br /> <br /> of the 2018 budget in 2019 and <br />a 1.63% decrease of the 2018 budget in 2020 with reductions and additions outlined in the <br />memo. Councilmember Kruller stated that she has heard that departments have been asked to <br />underspend by 5% for the Mayor to have discretionary funds. Staff replied that all departments <br />except Police and Fire have been asked to cut 3% to address the revenue shortfall. These <br />savings were primarily in unfilled positions in 2018 but in 2019 and 2020 they are ongoing <br />savings such as contracts and supplies. Councilmember Kruller again stated she would like to <br />better understand the mechanics of any discretionary spending available to the Mayor. <br /> <br />Administrative Services <br />Administrative Services is a new department that includes Communications, Community <br />Engagement, Human Services, and Human Resources. The overall budget for 2019 is 3.7% less <br />than what was budgeted for these functions in 2018. Human Services is funded at the same <br />level, including the additional $50,000 approved by the Council in 2016, and 34 programs were <br />chosen for funding through the RFP process. <br /> <br />Self-Insured Healthcare (Fund 502) <br />-insured healthcare plan and all costs are fully covered, including <br />the IBNR (insured but not reported) reserve. <br /> <br />LEOFF I Retiree Self-Insured Healthcare Plan (Fund 503) <br />-insured healthcare plan and has been reduced to <br />actuary. <br />FORWARD TO OCTOBER 22, 2018 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE. <br /> <br />III.MISCELLANEOUS <br /> <br />Adjourned at 6:48 p.m. <br /> <br /> Committee Chair Approval <br /> <br />Minutes by LH <br />
