Home My WebLink AboutMeeting Notes 5-10-2017 1 BUDGET COMMITTEE Meeting Notes - May 10, 2017 Committee present: Eric Levine - Chairman, Pamela Bleiwas, Pat Leary Staff present: Mike Solvig, Judy Drake, Jim Weber Others present: Bill Goodman (depart at 12:30) Meeting was called to order by Chairman Levine at: 12:01 pm. AGENDA ITEMS: • Review and approve meeting notes from March 22, 2017. Committee members reviewed and approved the meeting notes from March 22, 2017. • Update on Sales Tax and Mortgage Tax collections for First Quarter of 2017. Sales Tax Collections: The Committee reviewed the Sales Tax collections report for the first three months of 2017. Mr. Solvig reported that collections increased by 11.9% over the same period last year, from $661,979 in 2016 to $741,126 in 2017. This was a pleasant change after watching first quarter revenues decrease from the prior year in both 2015 and 2016. Total Sales Tax collections were budgeted at $3,000,000 for 2017. First quarter collections represent 24.7% of the budgeted amount. Mortgage Tax Collections: The Town received $121,758 for the first installment of Mortgage Tax collections in 2017. This is an increase of 1.1% over 2016 collections of $115,240 for the same period. This is the second year that first installment collections have increased from the prior year. Mortgage Tax collections were budgeted at $250,000 for 2017, with first installment collections representing 48.7% of that amount. • Initial Review of Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan / 2018 Capital Budget. The Committee reviewed an updated CIP schedule received from Public Works. Capital projects scheduled for 2018 include the following: - WATER TANKS - Cornell University’s approved rebuilding and expansion of the Maplewood Apartments will triple the number of residents in the complex. An analysis of expected water usage showed that the 200,000 gallon capacity of the existing Pine Tree Water Tank, which serves both the Maplewood Apartments and Cornell’s East Hill Plaza complex, will be unable to serve the number of residents in the expanded complex. The Town will construct the Ellis Hollow Water Tank, a new 600,000 gallon capacity glass-lined Water Tank, near the intersection of Ellis Hollow and Hungerford Hill Roads. The estimated cost of this project is $1,500,000, which will be funded by issuing new long-term debt. - WATER MAINS - Total cost for Water Main improvements for 2018 is estimated at $1,000,000 for the new Ellis Hollow Water Main, running from the Ellis Hollow Water Tank to the water distribution control building located near the intersection of Ellis Hollow and Pine Tree Roads. This project will also be financed by issuing new long-term debt. 2 - SEWER AND MANHOLE REHABILITATION - These on-going maintenance projects will reduce water infiltration and blockages in aging sewer lines and manholes. The amount of $300,000 will be budgeted in 2018, which will be financed from current year revenues/fund balance. - ROAD IMPROVEMENTS - Total cost for scheduled 2018 Road Improvement Program is estimated at $1,050,000. Projects scheduled for 2018 include the reconstruction of Perry Lane ($650,000), overlay of Chase Lane ($250,000) and overlay of La Grand Court ($150,000). Bill Goodman noted that the $1.5 million Forest Home Drive reconstruction project has now been removed from the CIP. - TOWN FACILITIES - No projects are scheduled for 2018. - PARKS & TRAILS - The Hungerford Heights Park Playground Replacement is budgeted at $50,000. Budgeted in the General Fund, this project will be financed with up to $24,000 in grant funding and the remainder from current year revenue/fund balance. Total estimated costs for the CIP for Fiscal Years 2018 - 2022 are presented on the schedule shown below: INFRASTRUCTURE 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 TOTAL WATER INFRASTRUCTURE 2,500,000$ 2,100,000$ 2,550,000$ 1,550,000$ 1,700,000$ 10,400,000$ SEWER INFRASTRUCTURE 850,000 550,000 550,000 550,000 550,000 3,050,000 STORMWATER DRAINAGE - 250,000 250,000 250,000 250,000 1,000,000 ROAD IMPROVEMENTS 1,050,000 500,000 1,050,000 500,000 950,000 4,050,000 TOWN FACILITIES - 900,000 - 600,000 - 1,500,000 PARKS & TRAILS 50,000 185,000 140,000 100,000 - 475,000 TOTAL ANNUAL COST 4,450,000$ 4,485,000$ 4,540,000$ 3,550,000$ 3,450,000$ 20,475,000$ FUNDING SOURCE: - Current Year Revenue 1,926,000$ 1,461,000$ 1,940,000$ 1,600,000$ 1,750,000$ 8,677,000$ - Grants & Donations 24,000 24,000 50,000 - - 98,000 - New Long-Term Debt 2,500,000 3,000,000 2,550,000 1,950,000 1,700,000 11,700,000 TOTAL FUNDING 4,450,000$ 4,485,000$ 4,540,000$ 3,550,000$ 3,450,000$ 20,475,000$ Of the $20,475,000 total estimated project costs, $8,677,000 would be financed with current year revenues, $98,000 with grants and donations, and the remaining $11,700,000 by the issuance of new long-term debt. Mr. Goodman commented that the $1,050,000 cost for road improvements in 2018 is more than double the $500,000 amount levied annually in the Highway Fund for capital projects, also noting that the cost of road improvements over the next five years is estimated at just over $4 million, an average of $800,000 each year. The Committee discussed the cost of future road improvements against the expected funding available from the annual property tax levy. Jim Weber stated that Public Works can reduce the amount of work done each year to match the available funding, but cautioned that at $500,000 average annual expenditures the Town will begin to fall behind on necessary road improvements. Based on the Infrastructure Assets memo done in 2015, the Town spends much less annually for road improvements than we should be. Chairman Levine commented that he does not want to see any future bonding for road improvements except under extraordinary circumstances. Mr. Solvig commented that prior to the $500,000 increase in the Highway Fund property tax levy in FY-2016, the Town had been spending, on average, about $800,000 annually for road improve- 3 ments, most of which was bonded. Pat Leary asked why the Town only increased the tax levy by $500,000 if we were, in fact, spending more than that. Mr. Solvig explained that for 2016, the $500,000 increase was a 50% increase in the Highway Fund’s tax levy that year, which was a significant increase on a percentage basis, and would show on the property tax bills. Additionally, the property tax cap in 2016 was at 1.01% while the Town’s actual levy increase was significantly above that at almost 6.6%. Both he and then-Supervisor Herb Engman expected there would be considerable negative publicity and public reaction to the increase as proposed. As it turned out, there was no reaction to the increase by the public. Mr. Levine commented that if we need to spend more than the $500,000 levied in the Highway Fund on an on-going basis, then we should look at increasing the levy for 2018. Mr. Goodman said he would like to discuss this with the Town Board at a future study session. Judy Drake commented on the Public Works Facility expansion shown in the CIP for 2021. In view of the Public Works staff additions to be discussed at the Personnel & Organization Committee meeting on May 17, if these staff additions are approved for 2018 this project may need to happen sooner than 2021. She asked if it would be possible to move this project up to 2019, and do this in conjunction with the rebuilding of the fuel station and building of the truck wash bay schedule for that year. The schedule shown below identifies the capital equipment scheduled for replacement in Fiscal Year 2018 at a total estimated cost of $754,000. Funding of capital equipment replacements will come from current year revenues/fund balance.

The Committee reviewed the resolutions and local law for the property tax cap override for FY 2018. The resolution to set the public hearing will be on the June 12 Town Board agenda, setting the public hearing for July 10 at 5:30 pm. Consideration of adoption of the local law will be scheduled for the July 10 Town Board meeting following the public hearing. • Discuss new Water Rate Structure and Water Rates. This item was postponed pending further discussions at Bolton Point. • Other Items. - Town Audit: Mr. Solvig informed the Committee that field work was completed May 4. 4 - Court Audit: Mr. Solvig reported that field work is scheduled for June 5 & 6. The cost of this audit is included in the cost of the Town’s annual audit. - Highway Equipment Reserve Account: Mr. Solvig reported that the first $30,000 installment of the $180,000 Badger settlement has been received. The Town will receive $30,000 each month for the next five months. The settlement receipts will be deposited to the Highway Equipment Reserve Account to reimburse it for the $238,908 used to purchase of the Gradall D152 Excavator in 2016. The Highway Equipment Reserve Account had a 2017 beginning balance of $62,517. Together with the $180,000 Badger settlement receipts and expected proceeds from the sale of surplus equipment in 2017, the year-end balance of the Highway Equipment Reserve Account should be at the $250,000 maximum amount established for this account by the Town Board in 2015. - Reserve 10-Wheel Snow Plow Truck: Mr. Solvig distributed a memo from Mr. Weber to the Committee regarding keeping an additional 10-Wheel Snow Plow Truck in the fleet as a reserve. Mr. Weber explained that our newer heavy snow plow trucks, designed to meet current emission standards, are experiencing more frequent malfunctions, sometimes for extended periods of time, which the dealer/manufacturer have been slow to diagnose and/or correct. During this past winter, two trucks were unavailable during a sizeable snow event, challenging Public Works staff to maintain snow plowing operations with smaller, less efficient equipment. Mr. Weber has proposed to increase the number of 10-Wheel Snow Plow Trucks in the fleet by one, keeping one of the older trucks in lieu of sending it to auction, and holding this vehicle as a reserve to be used in emergency situations. This has been discussed with the Public Works Committee without any significant concerns. It was the consensus of the Budget Committee that in view of the problems being experienced with these trucks, it would be prudent to retain one as a reserve. The meeting was adjourned at 1:14 pm. Subsequent to adjournment, Pat Leary asked for a copy of the Infrastructure Assets memo referred to by Jim Weber under the Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan / 2018 Capital Budget discussion. This memo was originally prepared by Mr. Weber in June 2013, and updated in February 2015. A copy of the memo is attached to these minutes.
