Pittsfield 2024 Budget Day Two: 14 Budgets Reviewed

Ward 1 Councilor Kenneth Warren proposes budget cuts in the worker's compensation line.
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — In the second session of fiscal 2024 budget hearings, the City Council preliminarily approved 14 departmental spending plans on Wednesday.
 

A $50,000 reduction was made to the Worker's Compensation budget for medical payments, which supports independent medical review for employees who have led worker compensation or injured on duty claims.

Ward 1 Councilor Kenneth Warren made the motion in an attempt to bring down the budget's burden on taxpayers.

"I think it's reasonable for the City Council to reduce this budget by $50,000," Mayor Linda Tyer said.

"We will manage as long as we understand that if we need to come back, we're going to have to have your support because as the [Finance Director Matthew Kerwood] mentioned, this is required by law to make these payments. So we will figure out how to manage with the reduction understanding that if necessary, we're going to need your support when we come back for an additional appropriation."

Three community members spoke in support of the $71,750 human services line item in the Department of Community Development.

Human Services Advisory Council Chair Rosalind Kopfstein requested that additional funds are allotted for social service organizations.

"Our council's funding is a much-reduced level due to our severe financial limitations and the rules and regulations," she said. "The organizations funded are ones that provide essential services, preventive services, and educational programs. Your funds are directly benefiting so many lives in Pittsfield by providing money to avoid crises and to sustain many more Pittsfield residents."

The council reviewed 20 applications for Community Development Block Grant funds this year and funded them all.

Ward 2 Councilor Charles Kronick, who opposed and made many motions to reduce departments on the first night of hearings, was absent for the votes on the City Clerk, Cultural Development, Diversity Equity and Inclusion, Emergency Management, Fire Department, Health Department, and City Building Maintenance budgets.

The proposed operating budget for FY24 is $205,634,497 — almost $17,000,000 or 8.9 percent higher than last year's budget of $188,822,018.

This breaks down into $109,350,895 for city operations, $78,088,016 for the School Department, and $18,195,586 for the enterprise which includes the Department of Public Utilities water treatment, sewer, and wastewater.
 
City Clerk
 
The City Clerk's budget of $408,225 was preliminarily approved with little discussion. It is a $38,575, or 10.44 percent increase, from the previous year.
 
The $6,500 increase in supplies is largely due to the printing of ballots for the election, City Clerk Michele Benjamin explained.

There was a $6,000 increase in medical supplies that Director of Public Health Andy Cambi said will be spent on flu vaccinations.

"So with the increase we will be purchasing flu vaccines for our general population also for over 65."

Workers Compensation
 
An amended budget of $700,000 was preliminarily approved with a $50,000 reduction from the medical payments line item. It is a $100,000, or 15.38 percent, increase from the previous year.
 
Warren, who motioned for the reduction, explained that the city needs to try and reduce monies for the taxpayers.  He originally proposed a $100,000 cut but was talked down by colleagues and city officials.
 
"These are items that they can go up or go down based on people being injured, people being out, have hit a couple of patches where we're higher, they were able to come back because we have funds that they can reach," he said.
 
"If we're looking, and some of us talk about reducing the budget and reducing tax rates. While we're doing that, we have to look into departments that we can do that in or try to do that in."

Finance Director Matthew Kerwood said this will not reduce the tax rate.
 
"$50,000, $100,000 doesn't change the tax rate," he said. "All it does is just limit the ability to be able to fund it from within this line item within the department without being able to come back to you. It doesn't change the tax rate."

Unclassified
 
The Unclassified budget of $60,092,255 was preliminarily approved with several failed reduction attempts with At Large Councilor Karen Kalinowsky, Warren, and Kronick opposed.  It is a $3,405,301, or a 6.01 percent, increase from the previous year.
 
Kalinowsky unsuccessfully motioned to reduce Capital Improvements by $275,000 to save taxpayers.  Warren had a number of failed motions" to reduce health insurance by $1 million, to reduce long-term debt by $500,000, and to reduce long-term debt interest by $200,000.
 
Warren explained that he proposed several cuts because the unclassified budget is the second highest to the school budget.
 
"The unclassified the second highest percentage department that we have to look at the first in the school and the rest were pale in comparison, so we need to make some cuts.
