Future Budget Considerations

Human Resources- Regulatory compliance continues to be an ever-changing and evolving concern for Human Resource
professionals. The COVID-19 Pandemic is having a significant impact on the workplace. Some of the leading federal, state and local
issues that will remain top of mind in 2020-2021, including the COVID-19 Pandemic and how it will affect the future of healthcare.
HR staff will closely monitor developments/changes to overtime exemptions, current and new COVID-19 regulations, wellness in the
workplace and at home as these expected changes occur.

Information Technology- Network bandwidth increases are needed across the City. Additionally, a redundancy connection is needed
for LEC and enhanced services at the Public Works building, Parks building, Fire Stations 2 and 3 and Animal Control.

Facility Maintenance- A comprehensive Facility Condition Assessment (FCA) is needed. This assessment would allow for a more
accurate analysis of the condition of City facilities and assets. Many of the City's facilities are in need of updating and remodel; a FCA
would allow staff to better prioritize these needed repairs/updates. FCA establishes a matrix that would improve preventative
maintenance, helping avoid major failures.
