Councilmember Coerper stated his opposition to employee layoffs. Councilmember Dwyer discussed the concept of "smoothing", voicing concerns about making enough budget cuts now to respond to potential problems in the future. Administrator Wilson and City Attorney McGrath provided information related to PERS rates and annual adoption of pension tax rates. Mayor Pro Tern Green recommended educating the public about employee pension tax rates. Mayor Pro Tern Green and Fire Chief Olson discussed the CERT program remaining intact, and cuts related to operating costs, overtime, and t-shirts and jackets. Mayor Pro Tern Green questioned if CERT volunteers should consider raising program funds. Councilmember Coerper and Administrator Wilson discussed current state reductions and financing mechanisms that cannot be avoided, the proposed increase to the pension tax rate, City Council/Redevelopment Agency Regular Meeting Minutes of August 3, 2009 Page 3 and a potential charge for stormwater use. Councilmember Coerper questioned how many employees will be subject to layoff, and stated his opinion that projects should be put on hold before employees are laid off.

They further discussed options for the students themselves to raise the necessary funds to keep the program alive.

Councilmember Hardy voiced concerns about eliminating parking attendants from the Main Street and Promenade parking structures, the Fun Time Day Camp, youth track meets and weekend hours at the City gym and pool.

Councilmember Hansen voiced opposition to asking the taxpayers to fund a guaranteed pension obligation. Councilmember Hansen questioned the employee furlough process and City Attorney McGrath explained the meet and confer process. Councilmember Hansen requested that a work furlough program be modeled with as many options as possible. Councilmember Coerper expressed concerns about how a furlough could negatively affect emergency response times. Mayor Pro Green voiced opposition to furloughs, explaining how 24-hour services cannot be furloughed, making the idea inequitable for all employees. She recommended that Council consider other options such as asking employees to waive future salary increases. Administrator Wilson responded that furloughs would only apply to non -safety personnel, and are estimated to produce $150,000 per day in savings. Councilmember Hardy stated the issue should be considered by bargaining groups. Mayor Bohr voiced support for work furloughs and acknowledged they that are not equitable. He suggested that employees may be open to the organization being closed between Christmas and New Years. He discussed the importance of maintaining project activity because completed projects produce revenue. Councilmember Carchio voiced concerns about the public being asked to accept tax increases in addition to minimized services by the City. He recommended that the City shoulder some of the responsibility for difficult economic times by demonstrating action through a 4-10 work week, furlough, or some other alternate action. Councilmember Dwyer supported Councilmember Hansen's suggestion of multiple budget reduction options to include differing thresholds in the projected budget. Mayor Bohr and staff discussed Southern California gas tax projections. Mayor Pro Tern Green discussed OCTA's plans for pay cuts and work furloughs, and asked if the City can require bargaining groups to open negotiations. City Attorney McGrath described the process as cooperative, but stated that bargaining groups are not obligated to meet on furloughs, but can choose to discuss the option during a meet and confer session. City Council/Redevelopment Agency Regular Meeting Minutes of August 3, 2009 Page 4 Concluding comments were made about bringing back a proposed work furlough program and other budget savings ideas that may require bargaining groups to consider meet and confer.
