Chief Financial Officer, Harty stated that the preliminary budget was presented last month at the City Council meeting and has heard back from the Department of Taxation that the City is in compliance. He stated that there were a few minor changes to the budget.

 

·      Increase revenues for utilities by $3.4 million dollars.

·      Increase in funds for supplies and services by $4.5 million dollars.

 

He stated that everything else in the tentative budget remained the same. The total budget is $806.9 million, which includes three different jurisdictions, which are the City of North Las Vegas, Library District, and the Redevelopment Agency. Chief Financial Officer, Harty was available for questions.

 

City Manager, Juden responded to Mayor Lee’s question and stated that the City is staffed very thin and the new budget reflects it. He mentioned that there are some departments that have more employees than others. The city now has a strong Human Resources team and they will assist in recruiting quality candidates to the department’s specific needs. City Manager, Juden also answered Mayor Lee’s question regarding where the employment deficiencies are. City Manager, Juden gave the Mayor an example and stated Public Safety. He stated that nationally, recruiting people into this department faces many challenges. To work through these challenges, the Human Resource recruiter that assists the Police Department moved from City Hall to the Police Department building. This is to ensure that there is more engagement with the Police Officer and providing more recruitment for the department. City Manager, Juden also stated that other jurisdictions are providing new recruits with bonus incentives and this is something the City of North Las Vegas is looking into.

 

Mayor Lee stated that he was in a meeting with Councilman Black where they spoke about the City being a training ground for other jurisdictions.

 

City Manager Juden responded to Mayor Lee’s question and stated that it is something that has come up in the last few weeks. He stated that part of the new Teamsters agreement meant that the city would do a comp and class survey. He also mentioned that being a training ground for other agencies is not a good way to conduct business. He stated that this coming June, the comp and class surveys will begin. The comp and class will conduct a survey study not only on the public agencies but also the private agencies. He wants the public to see that not only is the city adding more employees, but they are also retaining them.

 

Mayor Lee stated that the City went through an era for 5 to 7 years where they were not hiring and now they are reaching the retirement era for many employees. Mayor Lee asked if the City has passed that surge of retiree’s employees.

 

City Manager Juden responded by stating that he is very concerned about the retiree surge. This is a challenge that the City of North Las Vegas faces. He stated that many employees have stayed past their retirement dates, which gives the city breathing room to hire candidates. The city has implemented more SOP’s to assist new employees with training. He stated that everyone that currently works for the city has a very valuable role within the city.

 

Councilman Barron stated that it wasn’t that long ago when Mayor Lee was directing the City Manager to obtain three bids on certain jobs. The city at the time was trying to save money wherever they could. He also stated that even though the city is doing very well, they have to grow the city intelligently. He also stated that the city is in good hands because of the staff that they have.

 

Mayor Pro Tempore Cherchio stated that he was appointed from 2009 to 2011 to fill in former Mayor Shari Buck’s seat and at that time, it wasn’t a happy place for the city. During that time, the city layoffs began and looking back at that time, it was a horrific experience for him and Public Safety took the hardest hit. He stated that it was ironic that just yesterday he sat with Councilman Black, the Police Chief Gravatt and Assistant Police Chief Harris. He congratulated both for their achievement and stated that they will continue to do an excellent job. He stated we all need to think outside the box and to the future because he does not want the city to be a training ground for other agencies.

 

Councilman Black stated that the city is in a favorable positon and he does not think that happened by chance. It happened by making smart decisions in recent years in order to be where they are at now. There is a lot of gratitude owed to current employees for picking up extra work as much as they can. As the city is in a good finances position, they can invest in a strategic way.

 

Councilwoman Goynes-Brown stated that she first came to be a part of the council in 2011 when the economy was at its lowest. There were times when she could not sleep at night knowing that she had to make decisions that would not make people happy. She stated that where the city is now is to understand where they have been. As growth happened over the years, it has been a journey that has been approached the right way and she is excited to see how the city will move forward.

 

City Manager Juden answered Mayor Lee’s question and stated that they will be working hard to fill in existing positions that the city currently has. He also stated that the city is keeping up with the employees that are retiring. He stated that there will be 100 new positions which will be used to backfill as well as add. He also stated that the shares the same concerns as Mayor Lee in regards to the economy as he believes we are currently in a recession. He stated that the City of North Las Vegas is in a very good financial position and he wanted to thanks Director Harty and his staff for the effort that they put into this budget.  

 

City Manager Juden stated that they are very much still obtaining three bids in order to save the city money.

 

Mayor Lee opened the public hearing and having no requests to speak, closed the public hearing.

Public Hearing and Possible Action Regarding the City’s Delinquent Utility Accounts; Adopting the Delinquent Accounts Report; and Authorizing Staff to File Adopted Report with the Board of County Commissioners. (Citywide)

 

Utilities Director Brady stated that every May and in accordance with municipal code, the department reviews accounts that are delinquent. The department works with businesses and residential customers to deliver quality services. He stated that the department works to ensure that utility payments are collected while also assisting these customers that are having a hard time making those payments. Every May the department brings forward to council those accounts that have resisted the department’s efforts to work with them to bring their accounts current. After this process is done, the delinquent accounts are sent to the county where they begin the process of collection through property taxes. Any potential accounts that can be removed from this status by June 1st, will be removed from the list. Director of Utilities, Brady answered Mayor Lee’s question by stating that accounts that have not been paid for more than 90 days become delinquent.

 

Mayor Lee opened the public hearing.

 

Sally Kamel Kirollos, 1121 Nevada Blaze Ave, North Las Vegas spoke to the council regarding her utility account. She stated that she has a high balance of $2,900 which the utilities department is trying to place a lien on her house. She stated that the only solution that was given to her by the utilities department was to pay half of the amount that is due up front. She stated that she was recently divorced, making it hard to pay her utility bill. She is asking for the utilities department to work with her in another way.

 

Utilities Director Brady answered Mayor Lee’s question and stated that there are two types of liens that can be placed because of a delinquent account. One type of lien allows for the city to obtain the past due amount if a homeowner was to refinance their home. The second lien adds the delinquent amount to the property tax.

 

Mayor Lee addressed the public speaker and advised that the Director of Utilities, Brady will speak to her after the meeting.

 

Mayor Lee closed the public hearing.
