FY 2010-11 Proposed BudgetCity Council Questions
1. How much has been reduced in the library budget?
The proposed FY11 budget of $17.0m is about $5.0m less than the FY10 estimated expenditures.
2. What savings could be achieved by reducing street lights?
Of the 86,000 total street lights citywide, only 12,000 street lights are on major streets. Neighborhood streelights provide neighborhood security and were not considered for reduction. The cost to disconnect andremove the fixture/arm on 6,000 lights (every other) on major streets is approximately $1,572,000. Aftedisconnecting the lights, a savings of about $964,000 could be realized in the first year. In subsequent yearsa savings of about $1.2m could be realized.
Oncor will not allow for only the bulb to be disconnected with the fixture/arm left in place. This would createconfusion about whether a street light is out due to cost reduction or whether the street light is in need ofrepair.
3. How much has been reduced for streets striping and traffic signs?
The Street Services briefing on September 1st indicated that $325,000 is needed to restore crosswalk striping
and street lane striping back to the FY08 level, and that $512,000 is needed to restore Traffic Signs back tothe FY08 level.
At the FY11 proposed funding level, only streets with little to no visibility will be striped. Additionally, reducedfunding level will eliminate replacement of signs unless they are severely damaged and will necessitate anincrease in the time it takes to perform repairs.
4. Have the road side cameras on Camp Wisdom been installed, if not when will they be?
The camera at RLT and Camp Wisdom was cancelled when the City determined that TxDOT planned toinstall cameras in the same area. The City is allowed to share use of the cameras. This prevents duplicationof resources. See this website for real time images from the TxDOT cameras. http://dfwtraffic.dot.state.tx.us/
5. Can a franchise for Sanitation Department be dedicated to fixing alleys? How much would the 9 feereduction generate if we keep the rate and use the revenue for alleys?
Yes. Funds can be dedicated to specific uses such as alley repairs. The fee reduction of 9 represents$225,000.
6. If the local option election passes, where does the alcoholic beverage tax go?
Alcoholic Beverage Tax (ABT), that is assessed on mixed beverages served at restaurants and bars and thais received by the City, is revenue for the operation and maintenance of the Convention Center. Anyadditional sales tax revenue that might be realized from sale of alcohol through retail stores is General Fund
revenue.
7. Can Transportation User Fee (TUF) be charged only to large trucks using city streets?
No. The TUF is charged to properties within the city based on the land use type. The fee charges for thebenefit that the property receives from the citys transportation system based on type of land use and theamount of traffic generated by that land use type. The fee can be scaled for commercial properties to try toallocate between properties that have more large truck traffic on the citys street system than other propertieshave. The TUF is charged to properties, not to trucks or other vehicles that travel to the property.

8. What is timeline and steps necessary for City to become a Retail Electric Provider (REP)?
Preliminary work by our energy consultant, Priority Power Management, indicates a minimum of an 11month process to work through and position the City to become a self-serving REP. Some of the stepsnecessary include (1) filing an application with the PUC, (2) securing Qualified Scheduling Entity, ElectronicData Interchange and Billing services in order to satisfy PUC requirements, (3) participating in a requiredERCOT testing period which is only offered 3 times each year, and (4) complete REP license approval,ERCOT certification and training, and TDSP notification.
City staff has begun the work necessary to become a self-serving REP and an application has beensubmitted to the PUC for consideration. As a more definite plan and timeline are developed, staff will brieCouncil and seek additional authorizations as may be necessary.
The Citys electricity needs are currently met through a new REP contract with TXU Energy that was executedon July 7, 2010 for the period January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2013.
9. How many people use the floors that are going to close in the Central Library?
The library counts how many people enter the building; we do not collect visitor counts per floor. Last year,1.7 million people used the Central Library.
10. Why does Renner Frankford Library have security guards? How much does it cost to have them?How many libraries have security guards? What is the cost for each library to have the securityguards?
All of our Neighborhood Libraries have security guards 15 hours per week at an annual cost of $8,700 perlibrary. Security is in place to ensure a safe environment in the evenings and during peak hours.
11. How much has been reduced for personnel costs from FY10 to the FY11 proposed budget?
Personnel costs have been reduced from FY10 to FY11 proposed budget by $50.9m for General Fund andnon-General Fund budgets. This includes reduction-in-force of about 450 employees (service reductions)furlough days for both uniform and civilian employees, pay reductions for civilian employees earning $30,000or more per year, overtime reductions according to Meet and Confer, etc.
12. What is the total cost of electricity expected to be in FY11, and how much will be paid from thegeneral fund, from Aviation, and from DWU?
The total amount budgeted for electricity in FY11 is $77.9m. General Fund - $33.8m Aviation - $3.7m Dallas Water Utilities - $35.0m

The Department of Street Services has implemented a new sealing program designed to seal streets thathave been rehabilitated or restored one year after new asphalt placement.

In addition, Street Services will respond to service requests regarding crack sealing needs throughouthe city.
