DATE: June 13, 2016 COUNCIL MEETING:9-4-1141-2-016 ITEM NO.: _ .ZA._.._.__� JUN 1 6 1011i TO: Mayor and Council FROM: Derek Johnson, Assistant City Manager and Interim Finance & Information Technology Director Shelly Stanwyck, Parks & Recreation Director Xenia Bradford, Budget Manager Bob Bisson, Acting Fire Chief VIA: Katie Lichtig, City Manager SUBJECT: 2016-17 Supplemental Budget Questions The following questions and clarifications have been requested for the noticed 2016-2017 Supplemental Budget hearing for June 14, 2016. 1. What impact will Pulsepoint have for survivor rates and what City support will be required to allow for continued use of the Pulsepoint application by the community? Survivor rates double to triple when CPR is performed before Emergency Medical Services (EMS) arrive. An independent study showed that Pulsepoint increased CPR response from trained bystanders in the vicinity of cardiac events by 51 %. CPR that is provided before EMS personnel arrive creates a greater likelihood for survival. Pulsepoint is supported by the application vendor and can be downloaded for free for both Apple and Android phones and the continued support of the system is expected to have no impact to City IT. 2. What are the reasons and need for additional allocation of resources to fund lifeguards? The need for Lifeguard Temporary Staffing were driven predominately by the following: 1. New standards requiring increased number of life guards on duty, rotational time throughout a shift driven by Red Cross standards and CALJPIA (our insurance carrier) recommendation. 2. Increase training. The City spends a minimum of 40 hours a year on training a lifeguard (summer intensive, keeping skills current, 4 hours a month sessions) and they are paid for the training time. 1 Ringh M, Rosenqvist M, Hollenberg J, et al.

With minimum wage increases and increases a private and public facilities we were below market in paying lifeguards. A higher hourly rate to retain trained staff was included in cost projections so that we can retain our trained lifeguards. The trends in the City have been toward increased lifeguard costs over the past few years. Cost increases have been covered through savings in the Department budget, however with the recovery of the economy, programs are busy and these savings are not projected to be available to cover increased lifeguard Coss. The increase costs to lifeguards for 2015-16 was covered because the pool was closed for replastering. 3. Please provide greater detail for the Local Revenue Measure (LRM) shown on page A-16 of the 2016-2017Supplemental Budget. The chart shown on page A-16 inadvertantly omitted three Local Revenue Measure funding priorities . The chart did show, however, the correct percentage allocations recommended with the 2016-17 Supplemental Budget which was reviewed and confirmed by the Revenue Enhancement Oversight Committee (REOC). Please see the revised chart that shows all eight priorities. k* 2016-17 Local Revenue Measure Budget ($8.4 M) r Open Space Preservation • Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvements Traffic Congestion Relief 1 Safet Im provements ■ Public Safety ■ Neighborhood Street Paving Code Enforcement Flood Protection Parks and Recreation/Senior Programs and Facilities 2016-17 Supplemental Budget Questions Page 3 4.
