ACTION ITEMS
AI-1. Staff update on Town Fund Reserves and Current Capital Projects
"Town Manager Chanis provided an update for the Council on the Town's fund reserves and a portion
of the current Capital Improvement Projects. He showed an overview of the FY 2018-19 operating
budget (as of 9/30/18), fund reserves and long-term liabilities.
Mayor Fraser asked about the purpose of the self-insurance reserve fund.Director of Administrative
Services Bigall explained this fund was for a possible legal settlement or unusual claim that was not
budgeted for.
Couneihnember Fredericks asked if the discretionary set-aside fund reserve is funded by general fund
monies. Director Bigall confirmed that these funds are all general fund monies and this reserve is not
funded by any grants. She said the Council can reallocate these funds to other line items in the
budget. Fredericks suggested expanding the budget tables to show the source of the monies that
make up each fund.
Councilmember Thier asked if the operating reserve fund would cover payroll if ever necessary.
Director Bigall confirmed this point.
Chanis then reviewed the historical trend of the balance of the various fund reserves, and what the
balances are expected to be at the end of the current fiscal year.
Fredericks asked if the amount of capital projects the Town has coming up would justify keeping the
balance of the unallocated fund reserves higher. Chanis confirmed this point, and added that
uncertainty in the economy would be another reason to do that. Chanis added that the combined
general fund reserves balance has decreased dramatically this year due to the large amount of capital
improvement projects undertaken, and a large allocation toward paying down long-term liabilities.
Director of Public Works/Town Engineer Barnes then provided an update on current capital
improvement projects. Chanis added that this presentation would be an update only, and staff A ould
be returning to the Council at the next meeting seeking direction on a number of these projects.
Director Barnes reported that the McKegney Field project is within budget and is now in the
maintenance period, and will be opened in March. He said the South Knoll tree removal is nearly
complete, and the remainder has been delayed until more advantageous weather. He said the Trestle
Trail picnic area is now under construction. Director Barnes also provided updates on the Shoreline
Park pathway lighting project, the Hawthorne and Virginia undergrounding districts, the New
Morning Cafe project. storm drain rehabilitation project, and said the Corporation Yard scoping
study is in the beginning stages.
Barnes said staff would return to the Council at the next meeting to discuss and seek direction on
additional current projects.
