Mr. Sibley reported there had already been three Budget Study Sessions where the Council
discussed the proposed budget in great detail.
Council Ouestions -
Interim City Manager, John Sibley responding to a question by Councilmember Dumitru
regarding the hiring of a grant writer, acknowledged that the new budget did not contain a
provision for the hiring of a grant writer or a company to pursue grants for expansion of parks,
facilities, etc. He added that his staff had been assigned to pursue grant craftsmanship, as well as
research which cities have full-time grant writers. Staff found that most cities' utilize in-house

will be aggressively pursuing and lobbying for grants.
Senior Assistant to the City Manager, Barbara Messick responded to a question by
Councilmember Dumitru who asked about the budget for the City's Code Enforcement Officers.

their budget of $40,000 over last year.

$250,000 was adequate for coverage ofCal-PERS costs.

Mayor pro tern Cavecche asked for clarification of the number of police officers being funded,
noting she was very much opposed to keeping law enforcement positions open to balance the
budget. She stressed the need to fill as many sworn officer positions as possible and adjustments
can be made to the budget if necessary!
Police Chief, Bob Gustafson responded that with current openings and upcoming retirements,
there are about 14 openings to fill through the next few months. He added that the Police
Department was aggressively pursuing hiring, but that the challenge was finding people meeting
the City's high standards for law enforcement personnel.
Interim City Manager, John Sibley reiterated that staff was working hard to find qualified Police
candidates, noting that out of 161 budgeted positions, 8-9 vacancies was a normal 6% turnover
rate for an organization. He stated that if all sworn officer positions were to be filled then
adjustments would be made through the mid-year budget process.
Mayor Murphy added that the entire Council agreed with the stated desire to have all sworn
officer positions filled, noting the City's standard to recruit and hire the best and the brightest.

staffing levels reflected in the budget. He commended staff for their work on this budget.
Library Director, Nora Jacob reported on the moving of furniture and books to temporary
quarters, as well as staff relocation. She added that the construction will begin in two weeks.

be filled. She also noted that the Library Foundation was just short of raising one million
