#403 – COMMUNICATION FROM THE MAYOR REGARDING FISCAL YEAR 2007 BUDGET
The following communication from the Mayor, was referred to the Committee on Administration and Finance.
Honorable Salem City Council
93 Washington Street
Salem, Massachusetts 01970
Ladies and Gentlemen of the Council:
I am pleased to submit for your consideration the proposed Fiscal Year 2007 Operating Budget for the City of Salem. The FY2007 budget recommends expenditures of $96,051,601.00 for the General Operating Fund, this is $441,000.00 less than actual expenditures in the FY2006, and $9,710,925.00 for the Water and Sewer Enterprise Funds.
Most assuredly, the eleven of you are keenly aware of the hurdles we face in adopting a balanced budget for Fiscal Year 2007, especially in light of the nearly $5 million dollars in one time revenues used in the budget for the current fiscal year. The challenge remains finding a way to balance next year’s operating expenses without the use of one-time revenues, a practice we surely do not want to repeat. While challenging, I do believe we have prepared a barebones, but realistic budget based on practical revenue streams and spending cutbacks. This is due in large measure to many of the difficult actions we have collectively taken to date, such as:
- adoption of M.G.L. Chapter 32B, Section 18, a Massachusetts statute that requires all medicare-eligible retirees to move from self-insured coverage to a fully insured Medicare supplement plan, saving the city over $600,000 in Fiscal Year 2007;
- implementation of a spending freeze and significant reduction of personnel, saving well over $700,000.00 in payroll and benefit expenses;
- re-organization and consolidation of several municipal departments, combined with outsourcing of some municipal services to outside vendors, saving an estimated $80,000.00;
- parking revenue and administrative fee enhancements, providing close to $300,000.00 in new revenue.
While these actions have been difficult, they are necessary steps along the way to a fiscally responsible budget going forward. While we will see the benefits of these actions in FY2007, it will not be enough to balance the budget. Therefore, additional difficult decisions are necessary to craft a balanced budget in FY2007. For example, over 50 municipal positions have been reduced or eliminated in the proposed budget; the School Department (and many other departments) has been level funded for the first time in a dozen years; modifications are being proposed to employee health insurance plans and departments with grant funded positions will be shouldering more of the burden of employee health insurance costs.
From an operational standpoint, the City is already running more professionally. For instance, we have solicited proposals for our municipal liability insurance coverage and expect to save over $150,000.00 from that action alone. We are working with the Police Chief on a reorganization plan that will reduce superior officer staffing, in favor of additional patrols, and working with the Fire Chief on adjustments to that budget that will lower overtime, in favor of additional staffing for apparatus. Both of these initiatives are designed to enhance public safety operations and insure that the city is making the best use of the limited dollars available for these areas. This budget also includes the consolidation and reorganization of many municipal departments to increase productivity and efficiency of services and operations. Lastly, I should
also point out that while we have made reductions in both personnel and non-personnel accounts, we have also sought creative mechanisms to maintain or enhance revenues as evidenced by the recent negotiation of two PILOT or SILOT agreements with non-profit organizations – the first time a policy for payment in lieu of tax agreements has be formalized in a meaningful way. We remain committed to professionalizing city operations and will continue to investigate initiatives aimed at increasing efficiency and saving dollars throughout FY2007.
Despite all of the aforementioned actions, there was still a major funding gap that had to be addressed in FY07. As such, yet another difficult decision needs to be made and that relates to the initiative of a $30 monthly trash fee for businesses and a $20 monthly trash fee for investor owned (non-owner occupied) residential properties. While it is never easy to propose a new fee, I simply do not feel that we have any other reasonable alternatives, especially given the substantial reductions and cost saving measures we have already taken to date.
Notwithstanding the harsh realities of this budget, I believe wholeheartedly that we are making strong moves in the right direction. I am confident that with the Council’s continued cooperation we will overcome these very real hurdles and the result will be a more fiscally healthy city. This proposed budget allows us to meet the challenges ahead, as well as build a strong foundation for the future of this great city. I look forward to working with you over the coming weeks to enact the proposed FY2007 spending plan for municipal operations.
Very truly yours,
s/ Kimberley Driscoll
Mayor
