REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS
Receive Quarterly Financial Report by Ed Mullins, Finance =
Director.=20
Ed Mullins, Finance Director, presented the Quarterly Financial
Report. The report focused on the 1st half of 2003 and 2002 for =
comparison.
He said looking at the economic forecast it appeared that the worst was
over. The recession had been over since November of 2001. There was a =
5.7%
increase in productivity in the 2nd Quarter and unemployment was up
approximately 6.4%. He had a concern, in terms of economic growth, on =
the
increase of long-term rates particularly around the ten year Treasury =
note.
He said turning to the City budget, this was one of the few =
times
where the City had gone through the first half and the City's overall
General Funds were less than 50%. The major sources such as property =
and
sales taxes would make our budget. Sales tax was up approximately =
$178,000
when looking at the City and County, but if you look at 9 million =
dollars,
the City was seeing little growth. He was projecting that the City =
would
meet budget.
Mullins said interest rates would be down, but with the hit in =
State
Demand Transfers and interest, the City would be approximately 1 =
million
dollars less at the end of the year from what was originally budgeted =
for
the General Fund Revenue. There was more control on the expenditure =
side
which was approximately 43%. He said the State Demand Transfer reduced =
the
General Fund Budget by approximately $700,000. Overall, he was =
projecting
that the City would see a reduction in the General Fund Budget of
approximately $3.4 million by the end of the year. =20
Looking at the Recreation Fund, they received 50% from user =
fees.
Property taxes were a significant source, but the recreation activity
carried the ball. He projected that they would be $40,000 below =
revenue by
the end of the year, but Parks and Recreation was more optimistic in =
that
they would make the revenue projection. He said Parks and Recreation =
was
seeing a good year, revenue wise, for the Indoor Aquatic Center, but =
the
Indoor Pool did not cover their expenses. From a budgeted revenue =
point of
view, they were looking good, but it was a major operation and it was =
not
projected that the City would cover the expenses from those user fees. =
He
said Parks and Recreation was doing a good job at controlling their =
expenses
and they had set aside some money in case those revenues did not meet =
the
budget. Overall, they realized there might be some problems and they =
were
taking measures to address those potential problems. =20
He said the Transportation Fund was funded with property taxes =
which
was used to help match those grant funds. When comparing 2002 and 2003
property taxes, there was a drop-off because the mill levy was =
decreased to
about 1.3 mills. This was due to when the Transportation Fund first
started, they levied for the full year, but they did not get started =
until
the end of the year. There was a fairly large fund balance so this =
year,
they drew down that fund balance. In the budget for next year, they =
had an
increase in that levy to bring it back up. In service charges, they =
went
from less than $60,000 in 2002 to over $64,000 in 2003. That indicated =
that
the ridership had gone up. It was still a small percent of the overall
operating costs of the transit system, but it did show that they were =
seeing
continued growth. =20
In regard to the Enterprise Funds, with exception of the Golf =
Course,
they were over 50% of the revenues for the first half. The Golf Course
compared to 2002 was down approximately $13,000 due to July being one =
of the
hottest and driest months and it was reflected in Golf Course revenue. =
They
had set aside some money to try and address that issue and they might =
need
to set aside more money because the revenue might not be getting =
better, but
worse. One of the reasons why those revenues in the Enterprise Fund =
were up
was that there was a 6% increase in sanitary sewer rates, 3% increase =
in
sanitation fees and 33% increase for stormwater. He said all =
expenditures
were below 50%. =20
When looking at Investment there was over $95 million in cash =
and
investments in which $86 million was invested in securities. Almost =
half of
that was in certificates of deposits. Looking at the average rate of =
return
for the 1st half was 1.3%.
In conclusion, while the General Fund Revenue was less than 50%, =
the
City would fall below the budgeted revenue by the end of the year. =
They
would see more of an impact in State Demand Transfers in the second =
half.
He saw the Recreation Fund not meeting revenues, but Parks and =
Recreation
did. The Golf Course Fund needed to be watched closely because the =
revenue
picture was not looking good. He said the Department Heads were =
watching
their budgets closely because they knew the revenues were not coming in =
like
they should. =20
Vice Mayor Rundle asked about the Intergovernmental revenue =
being 18%
of budget and did that mean that there was 80% that was projected to be
coming, a delay in Intergovernmental revenue.
Mullins said at this time, the Intergovernmental revenues were
Highway Connecting Link money and alcohol money. He said that money =
could
be doubled and they were projecting that Intergovernmental revenue =
would be
down approximately 1.2 million. =20
Wildgen said most of that state revenue sharing and sales tax =
would
not be coming in at all.
Commissioner Hack asked about the Golf Course. She said the =
report
indicated that the expense of the Golf Course was up because of the =
number
of gallons of water that were needed to be treated. She asked about =
the
possibility of using untreated water to save money.
Wildgen said it was more of a question of if the Kansas Water =
Office
would let you take the water. He said they looked at that idea when =
they
built the Golf Course, but they would not allow that. =20
Mullins said Parks and Recreation was looking at using retention
ponds and the capability of using stormwater run-off to water the golf
course, but there were significant capital expenditures in terms of =
pumps,
pipes and volume.
Commissioner Highberger asked if it was a conservative estimate =
that
the expenditure would exceed revenues by 3.5 million=20
Mullins said that was his best guess. He said the major =
components
were property and sales taxes. He said they were over budget with the =
gas
franchise fees, but those fees would drop off because they would not =
see
those franchise fees in the winter months. He said you would not see a
significant amount of growth in any other area other than potential =
sales
tax. (22)
Receive 2002 - 2003 Lawrence Chamber of Commerce Business =
Retention
Report by Lynn Parman, Economic Development Director for the Chamber.
=20
Lynn Parman, Vice President of Economic Development, presented =
the
2003 Lawrence Chamber of Commerce Business Retention Report. She said =
for
the past 10 months she conducted a one-on-one survey, in person, with =
51
existing companies in Douglas County. She said there were only a =
handful of
customers that did not want to participate in the survey so it was =
fairly
representative of the business community. Those businesses they =
surveyed
represented the basic job related companies and they did not survey =
retail
or service sector companies, but they did survey manufacturers, =
technology
companies, and office related companies. She said this report would =
also be
distributed to all the companies that were surveyed, Planning, and =
County
Commissioners as well as all the Douglas County communities and elected
officials. =20
The Economic Development Board that the City Commission =
appointed had
formed a sub-committee for business retention and they would begin to
develop a business retention plan based upon that data. In addition, =
the
Economic Development Board would be monitoring on a quarterly basis the
success or progression of the Business Retention Plan. In October, =
they
would resurvey those companies which would be an on-going process and =
they
would be developing reports every year.
She addressed the demographics. Parman said 60% of the =
companies
surveyed had been in business over 21 years. 37% had a parent company
located outside of Douglas County which was significant because =
typically
the corporate headquarters were the entities that were controlling the
capital dollars that were being made locally. She said the majority of =
the
companies surveyed were below 100 employees. The surveyed area =
encompassed
Douglas County. She said East Hills Business Park encompassed 14% of =
the
companies that were surveyed and north central Lawrence was a large =
area for
businesses as well. =20
She said 62% of the companies were privately owned and 22% were
publicly owned. Half of those businesses had products that were either
growing or emerging and the other half had products that were maturing =
or
declining. That helped them understand the portfolios of their =
companies
for the future as to whether they were making products that were
diversifying and whether they would be able to stay in the market.
The board also asked those companies if they had introduced new
products in the last 5 years and 94% had introduced new products. They =
also
asked those companies if they were going to introduce new products in =
the
next two years and 76% of those companies said yes. =20
Parman said 65% of those companies conduct their research and
development (R & D) in our area and the Economic Development Board =
would be
looking at why this was done in this community. Those jobs at the R & =
D
locations tended to be good jobs and she thought it had to do with the
proximity to the universities in this area.
She said 61% of our companies, at the time of the survey, =
indicated
that their sales were increasing and only 8% said they were decreasing. =
She
said 2% of those companies reported that their principal products =
market
share was decreasing which showed the success to those existing =
businesses.
Concerning Primary Market, 94% of those companies do their business =
outside
of this area. =20
She addressed exported sales. She said 59% of our existing
businesses were exporting and the Economic Board would study how they =
could
make the best of that opportunity. She said 37% of those companies had =
an
overseas facility. She said there would be some opportunities in those
types of areas.
Parman said they would ask those businesses if they planned to =
make
some type of capital investment in the next three years such as new
equipment, adding on to their facilities, and/or adding additional =
jobs.
She said 63% of those businesses planned to expand in the next three =
years.
That was something that would be of importance to them in making sure =
those
expansions occurred. =20
In regards to dollar investment by year, she said they were on =
track
for 2003 which was about 12.5 million in new investment and they =
predicted
that in 2003 it would be 23.7 million. =20
There were 695 new jobs predicted for this year and, at this =
time,
they were at 150 jobs. She said there were some expansion projects =
that
they were working on. She was not sure if they would reach their =
prediction
of 695 new jobs, but they would be somewhat close. She said they did =
not
know how many jobs would be added in 2004-2005. =20
She said 51% projected that their business would be increasing =
their
employment needs for their facility and only 8% predicted a decrease in
their employment. She thought it was interesting that only 24% of =
those
companies lost jobs in the last 3 years. =20
The Community Evaluation portion of the report indicated how the
businesses viewed this location as a place to do business. In regards =
to
community strengths, the proximity to Topeka and Kansas City was a huge
strength for existing businesses. Work force quality and quality of =
life
was unique to the strength of this area. She said the primary strength =
for
the technology sector was the presence of Kansas University. =20
When looking at community weaknesses, 29% did site local =
politics as
a deterrent, business unfriendly environment as well as cost of living =
being
too high. She said it was interesting that workforce quality was a =
strength,
but also a weakness.
The survey asked those businesses if there were reasons why =
Lawrence
or Douglas County would not continue to grow which 73% said "yes" and =
27%
said "no." Those businesses in the 73% bracket said it was because of =
the
perception of no growth politics, stringent planning/permitting =
process,
business unfriendly environment and the South Lawrence Trafficway not =
being
constructed. =20
The survey also asked reasons why Douglas County would not be
considered for expansion of their company. Those reasons were the lack =
of
manufacturing and technical employees and the high cost of living or =
doing
business in Douglas County. She said available sites were another =
concern.
She also asked those companies to rate the quality of the public
services offered in the area. There was strong support of the business
community for fire protection, ambulance/paramedic, city services - =
overall,
and police protection. She said there was a lot to be proud of in =
terms of
public services. =20
When looking at public services that were ranked below average =
or
poor, 46% rated community planning below average or poor, traffic =
control
was 35%, and regulatory enforcement. In regards to the low rating of =
the
regulatory enforcement responses, it was because of customer =
unfriendliness
and inconsistent application of codes and regulations. Community =
planning
had similar responses. Regarding traffic control, 20% of the companies
sited safety concerns with East Hills Business Park. She said 100% of =
the
businesses at East Hills Business Park gave traffic control a poor =
rating.
Also, there were concerns about overall access getting from the west =
side to
the east side. =20
She said they asked those businesses about their workforce and =
how
they could help with the workforce development in the community. She =
said
those business rated the productivity of their workforce at 80% which =
was
above average or excellent. The workforce availability was a concern =
in the
manufacturing sector. She said they asked about recruitment problems =
and if
there was a particular skill or position that was difficult to find in
Lawrence and Douglas County. She said 76% of those businesses said =
yes, and
the top four were from the manufacturing sector. =20
She also asked those businesses if there were any particular =
training
programs that would benefit them if they were offered locally and the
response was for training programs for the manufacturer sector.
Mayor Dunfield asked about the information that was shown that
companies had been introducing a number of new products and they had =
plans
for those new products in the future, but on the other hand information =
was
presented that indicated that half of the products were seen as =
maturing or
declining. He asked how the Commission should interpret that.=20
Parman said when asking those businesses about the life cycle of
their products, she was asking about their primary product. When she
further asked them about new products, some responded that they were =
new
primary products, but most of those were new adaptations of products or =
new
areas that they were getting into. She said half of those companies =
had
products that were maturing and declining and hopefully they were
introducing new products to further their business in the market place =
and
get those businesses into the emerging and growing areas.
Vice Mayor Rundle said some of the responses were general. He =
asked
if they intended to dig deeper where there were major short-comings
perceived or did the sub-committee from Economic Development plan =
handle
that issue.
Parman said there were areas that were more strongly addressed =
than
others. The Economic Development Board would be looking at that raw =
data.
She did not know if they would perform another extensive survey on =
those red
flags. The questions were tied into the software system and they could =
not
be changed, but the Economic Development Board might decide to do a =
further
assessment on workforce development. =20
She said some of those issues related to the community =
evaluation,
city planning, and business unfriendly environment needed to be =
addressed by
the Economic Development Board to see if further assessment would be =
needed.
Mayor Dunfield said the Commission had seen some similar types =
of
results in the image survey that was done earlier, and City Hall always
needed to work on consistency and providing more responsive services. =
He
said as an Economic Development Board member, the major issue to work =
on had
to do with the workforce development aspects both in terms of =
recruiting
companies that match our highly educated workforce that was available =
and
also working on developing those training programs and issues for the =
more
basic industries as well.
Parman agreed. She said that was the area that could make the =
most
difference. There were some items that would be difficult to change, =
but
there were areas that could more realistically be addressed. She said
workforce development was an opportunity for Douglas County to make a
difference. =20
Commissioner Hack said there were issues that were currently =
being
worked on concerning Adequate Public Facilities and zoning regulations. =
She
hoped when those issues were worked through, that would be reflected in
further surveys.
Parman said if the Commission desired, there was a way to add
questions to the survey and they could quantify those, on their own, =
without
being in the software system. She said if the Commission had questions =
that
they would like addressed, to let them know before October, because =
that was
when they would perform the new round of surveys. =20
She said the software system also had the ability to analyze
responses of the individual companies and this gave them a risk =
analysis on
those companies individually which meant knowing if potential layoffs =
or
plant closures were in the future. She said they had identified a =
small
number of companies that would be at risk more than others. The =
Economic
Board would be coming up with a separate plan to help those companies.
