The first is a Special Session to take action on the budget legislation for 2011. Information related to that legislation can be found in the Budget Packet. (See the Table of Contents for a link to that material). The second meeting is a Committee of the Whole to discuss two items that are included in this packet and are scheduled for final action on September 22nd. Special Session Budget Package The Council met last week to introduce and discuss the package of budget and budget-related legislation and is scheduled next Wednesday to take final action on it. As you know from last week, the Mayor announced that he intends to give non-union employees a 1.5% raise next year. This is different from what was proposed in July and from the legislation introduced on September 1st. Changes will need to be made to some, but not all, of the budget legislation and that could occur now or in the future. Here is a list of the legislation and what still needs to be done. (Please pay special attention to the last item regarding alternatives for handling the salaries for elected officials.) App Ord 10-02 (Civil City Budget for 2011) – Since it’s too late to re-advertise our budget, the increase will need to be handled as an additional appropriation in 2011. Ord 10-09 (Salary Ordinance for Police and Fire) - This ordinance will need to be changed for reasons independent of the Mayor's announcement. As you may remember, these two groups of employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements which, in part, set their compensation during the term of the agreement. The FOP and City are currently negotiating a new agreement and, in the event the negotiations are successful, the Council will need to consider the agreement and, if called for, an amendment to this ordinance later this year. Ord 10-10 (Salary Ordinance for Non-Safety Related Civil City Employees) - This ordinance covers non-union and AFSCME employees and provides a range of amounts for each position and will not need to be changed. Ord 10-11 (Salary for Elected Officials) - For many years, the increase for elected officials has been tied to the average increase for non-union employees. The ordinance currently does not include that increase which would amount to less than $4,000 in total for all 11 of the City’s elected officials. That would need to be changed before the end of the year if the Council decides elected officials should receive a raise in 2011. There are three alternatives here: 1) amend the ordinance next week to include whereas clauses explaining the change (non-union employees will get raises next year) and increasing compensation by 1.5%; 2) wait until later in the year to amend the ordinance (perhaps when the amendment to the Police and Fire salaries is ready); or 3) not make any changes and not taking any increase. Although no Council member has requested me to do so at this point, I have prepared an amendment to the ordinance that will be available for introduction next week if there is any interest in that regard. Committee of the Whole Item One – Res 10-14 (Adopting the Monroe County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan) Res 10-14 adopts the Monroe County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan which is required by the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 before localities are eligible to receive federal funds for mitigation projects.1 With the help of a federal grant, the Mitigation Division of the Indiana Department of Homeland Security arranged for the Polis Center of Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis to assist counties and their incorporated cities and towns develop and adopt these plans. Mitigation Plans are intended to identify vulnerabilities and prioritize measures to “reduce or eliminate long-term risk to human life and property from hazards.” They use a FEMA-created, “geographic information system (GIS) - based disaster risk assessment tool” known as Hazards USA Multi Hazard (HAZUS-MH) “to predict the estimated losses from floods, hurricanes, earthquakes and other related phenomena and to measure the impact of various mitigation practices that might help reduce those losses.” Locally, Jim Comerford as Director of the Monroe County Emergency Management Agency, in coordination with Polis, assembled a planning team consisting of members representing: Monroe County, Bloomington (Kevin Robling, Lynne Darland and Andrea Roberts), Ellettsville, Stinesville, Monroe County Community Schools, and Indiana University. The planning team met five times over the latter of half of 2009 to develop the Plan.2 Briefly, this is what occurred at each meeting: First Meeting: Polis explained the process and arranged for members of the planning team to assemble information necessary to create a base map of critical infrastructure in the county. This information, with the help of HAZUS- 1 This summary is based upon a review of the legislation, memo to the Council, overview provided by Polis, and the Plan. 2 The time spent by the local planning team and a small portion of the value of creating and maintaining the County’s GIS satisfy the 25% local match requirement for the federal grant. MH and GIS, made it possible to produce much more accurate damage assessment reports (as was done for the third meeting). Second Meeting: The planning team reviewed information about past hazards to identify those that threaten the County and to prioritize them according to degree of risk. It also discussed disaster scenarios that would be modeled for the plan. Third Meeting: Polis presented a draft risk assessment of disasters identified by the team. Fourth Meeting: The planning team worked toward prioritizing strategies for mitigating each hazard identified in each jurisdiction. Fifth Meeting: The planning team reviewed, revised, and accepted a draft plan, which was then forwarded to the State and then FEMA for review and conditional approval. Highlights of the Mitigation Plan – Risk Assessment and Mitigation Strategy The core of the Mitigation Plan is the Risk Assessment (Section 4), Mitigation Strategy (Section 5) and data on the community (Appendixes E - H). Risk Assessment (Pages 15 – 93) The Risk Assessment attempts to quantify the potential loss from a disaster and does so by: 1) identifying the potential hazard, 2) analyzing the risk to buildings, infrastructure and people, and 3) assessing the overall risk associated with each identified hazard. 1. This plan identifies nine hazards (which are listed later in this summary along with their ranking of risk). 2. The plan then uses information gathered by Polis and the planning team to identify, locate (via GIS) and, where known and relevant, estimate the (rough) replacement value for structures in the community. It highlights essential and critical facilities which are generally community “assets,” but also includes sites of potential hazards. They are listed in Appendix F and include: Buildings characterized by their use (i.e.
