Filling the Shortfall, FY 2014
FY2014 budget issues◦ Spending $1M less than previous Mayor proposed
for maintenance and repairs
◦ Waiting 6-9 months to issue next bond (Jan 2014)
◦ Not funding conditions assessments for facilities, sidewalks and parks ($2.3M) or major water and wastewater assets ($7.6M)
Background:◦ $898M in deferred maintenance (known)◦ $100M bonds/year FY 2012-2017 + another
$35M this year
Discussion:◦ Of 2012 bond, 37% of $75M is “spoken for”◦ Waiting 6-9 months saves nearly $6M this year◦ Not clear that conditions assessments capture
needed but nonexistent infrastructure◦ Debt service for proposed total $800M in bonds
will be $62M over the 5 years
Five-year contract with city workers
Managed competition
Testing for fairness◦ Who pays?
