CITY OFFICER
AGENDA ITEM NO. 1: Presentation by Mike Crawford & Associates regarding annual audit for fiscal year ending 2002-2003.
Mr. Mike Crawford of Crawford & Associates, P.C, presented the annual audit, “City of Shawnee, Oklahoma Annual Financial Statements and Accompanying Independent Auditor’s Report for fiscal year ended June 30, 2003.”
Mr. Crawford gave an overview of the use of “The Performeter,” a financial statement analysis using indicators of the financial health and success of the City of Shawnee for fiscal year 2002-2003.
The performeter rates a city from 1 to 10 in its overall performance and the City rated 5.2, a satisfactory rating.
In reference to the audit report regarding Shawnee Civic and Cultural Development Authority, the report indicated that there was insufficient supporting documentation for revenues.
Upon further study by Mr. Crawford, it was his conclusion that the audit report was overly critical and he reviewed various records that his staff did not review.
Therefore, Mr. Crawford agreed to resubmit a corrected report in reference to the Shawnee Civic and Cultural Development Authority’s audit findings.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 2: Consider final acceptance of audit for fiscal year 2002-2003.
A motion was made by Commissioner Hadley, seconded by Commissioner Downing, that the City of Shawnee, Oklahoma, annual audit report with amendment for fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 be accepted. Motion carried.
AYE: Hadley, Downing, Claybrook, Schrzan, O’Neal, Mills, Peterson

A motion was made by Commissioner Downing, seconded by Vice Mayor Peterson, to approve the contract with Crawford & Associates, PC to provide auditing services for fiscal year ending June 30, 2004. Motion carried.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 4: Public hearing and submission of preliminary budget for the City of Shawnee for the period of July 1, 2004 through June 30, 2005.
Mayor Mills declared a public hearing open for the purpose of the preliminary budget for the City of Shawnee for the period of July 1, 2004 through June 30, 2005.
There being no one to appear to address the City’s budget, the public hearing was closed.
City Finance Director/City Treasurer Terry Compton presented to the Commission the preliminary budget in the amount of $35,107,041, with the Shawnee Municipal Authority and Shawnee Airport Authority inclusive.
Again for this year was the question of how much funds the City could afford to carry over in the reserve fund balance.
Mr. Compton told the Commission that several factors would affect the budget for next year due to an extra pay period, loss in sales tax revenue, increase in fees for the Oklahoma Municipal Retirement Fund, and transfer of funds from the General Fund to the Civic and Cultural Development Authority funds.
Also in the presentation by the city treasurer was the option of raising water and sewer rates thirty percent (30%) to break even. It was noted that the rates had not been raised since the early 1990’s.
In discussion, the Commission called upon staff members James Cole, Public Works Director, to address questions on the Public Works Division and Ken Etchieson, Exposition General Manager. to address questions about the operations of the Expo Center and the costs of the new multi-purpose building.
After much deliberation over the proposed budget, it was the Commission’s general consensus that $500,000 would need to be put into the reserve fund balance.
It was decided that the city treasurer make the necessary amendments to the budget and he would present a one-page summary of the changes to be presented to the Commission for its final approval at the next regular meeting on June 21, 2004.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 5: Consider setting date for in-person interviews of City Manager candidates.
In setting the interview dates for the five candidates for the city manager position, Mayor Mills presented the dates and times for the interviews set for special called meetings.
He presented the dates of June 25, 26, and 28. Two candidates would be interviewed on June 25th and 26th, and on June 28th one candidate interview with an executive session following.
The following times were set: June 25 4:30 pm and 6:00 pm; June 26 at 1:00 pm and 2:30 pm; and June 28 for 5:30 pm.
He informed the Commission that one-and-one-half (1-1/2) hours would be allowed each candidate in the open interview. He also indicated that he would like to spend personal time with each candidate to get to know them and he encouraged other Commission members to do the same.
A motion was made by Commissioner Hadley, seconded by Commissioner Downing, to approve setting the city manager interview dates for June 25, 26, and June 28, 2004. Motion carried.
