1991 BUDGET -RECAP.

the Committee on General Fund Revenues,Expenses,Capital,and the
following Funds:Stanley Park,Conservation Trust Fund,Museum,
Conference Center,Light &Power,Water,Self Insurance,and Self
Funded Medical.The proposed budget does not contain rate
increases for electricity or water;however,an increase has been
budgeted for the Occupation License.Staff provided clarification
on the mapping equipment included in the Light and Power Fund (the
entire staff will have access to such equipment),and the 1991
Advertising Plan (which will be considered during the Community
Development Committee meeting scheduled November 8th).The
Committee recommends approval of the 1991 Budget as presented.The
public hearing for adoption of the budget will be held November 13,
1990.
125 FLEXIBLE BENEFITS PLAN -AUTHORIZATION TO PROCEED.
The Committee reviewed the aforestated plan which will be available
January 1,1991 to Town employees who are enrolled in the Town’s
family coverage medical plan.The advantage of flexible
compensation to an employee is a voluntary tax break opportunity.
The plan uses pre—tax dollars for reimbursement of otherwise after—
tax expenses,thus an employee reduces their personal Social
Security,Federal and State income tax base by reducing personal
salary.Implementation cost is $400,and it could be funded from
the Self Funded Medical Insurance Fund.An annual fee will be
assessed thereafter;however,staff anticipates the fee will be
less than $400.Medical insurance rates will increase 33%;
however,with this plan,employees may realize a net gain in their
take-home salary of approximately $4.00/month.Due to ever-
increasing insurance rates,savings for both the employee and the
Town under this plan will only occur during 1991.The Committee
recommends approval of the Plan,with implementation to occur
January 1,1991.
