Council rejected a proposal by Councilman Charles Morgan dur- ing its November 9 meeting that would have mandated the adminis- tration submit a budget with no in- crease, and also include options outlining various percentage in- creases. This came after Business Ad- ministrator Robert Hary expressed frustration, particularly with Mor- gan’s proposal, that the council and administration were not on the same page. “We are going to give you a bud- get that is going to be the best bud- get recommended by the mayor,” Hary said during the meeting, adding that the administration and council share a common goal. Af- ter the budget is presented, “we won’t walk away,” and will be there to work with council. The intent behind Morgan’s pro- posal was to guarantee the admin- istration was serious in preventing a tax increase in the upcoming bud- get. He said he wanted to establish an official policy to get the admin- istration to show the council the implications of the alternatives, which would include any increases it may feel are necessary. Morgan said he thought there was 100 percent agreement on council in May that it wanted to see options for increases in one percent increments, all the way down to a zero percent increase in the 2010 municipal budget. Under his pro- posed policy, the administration would have been required to show the implications of a zero percent increase — including the areas in the budget that would have to be cut to have a zero percent increase — followed by the implications of a 1 percent increase, and so on. Morgan said the resolution would set a policy that the adminis- tration would also have to make cuts across the board in all depart- ments, not just in one area, which he referred to as “cherry picking.” Other council members ex- pressed faith in the system. Council President George Borek said that during the pre-budget meeting in September, council asked the ad- ministration to listen to its ideas, including no increase in taxes this year. “We had a discussion, not a mandate,” he said.
