TOWN OF
The Honorable Mayor, Council President and Members of Council David L. Recor, ICMA-CM, City Manager Martha J. Bennett, Finance Administrator Unsolicited Proposal for Pay-by-Phone for Bus Fares April 2, 2013 Unsolicited proposal from Electronic Transaction Systems Corporation (ETS) to develop a pay-by-phone option to be integrated into our bus transportation. ETS has offered to develop a pay-by-phone application, free of charge to the Town of Ocean City, to accept bus fares and allow bus riders the convenience of credit or debit card payments, which may in turn encourage ridership. By accepting PMoney as an additional form of payment, ETS has offered to charge a flat rate of .50% with no other per item fee. ETS will reimburse any software/hardware manufacturers to cover the cost of integrating PMoney into their products. For all other processing services ETS is prepared to extend the rate of .23% & $.15 above interchange, which is the same rate currently in place at Eagle's Landing Golf Course. Additionally, for each individual the Town refers, the Town will have an opportunity to collect .05% on ALL of their future purchases for as long as that account is active. No matter where a consumer goes to use PMoney after being registered by a merchant, the originating merchant will always receive that additional revenue stream. This allows a seasonal destination like Ocean City the ability to receive year-round revenue.
SUMMARY:
FISCAL IMPACT:
None incurred by the Town for development of software. No hardware is needed. Actual dollar amount accrued by the Town is unknown since it is contingent upon usage. The Town would have to provide signage at bus stops and provide public information. Accept the proposal to allow ETS to develop this application free of charge to the Town of Ocean City. Do not provide this credit/debit card payment application for bus customers.

WORK SESSION -MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL TUESDAY, APRIL 9, 2013 4. NEW BUSINESS F. Public Works Director Discussion of Terminating Transportation Discount Coupon Booklets
25166
TOWN OF
The Honorable Mayor, Council President and Members of Council David L. Recor, ICMA-CM, City Manager Hal O. Adkins, Public Works Director Transportation Department Discount Coupon Booklet Request to Terminate Program/Issuance April 3, 2013 Use/sale/potential termination of discount coupon books. A discussion concerning the desire to terminate the sale of discount coupon booklets for the Transit System. Potential revenue increase of +/- $50,000 with a corresponding reduction in expenditures of +/- $3,000 for printing. Terminate coupon book sales at this time. Continue the program. Hal O. Adkins, Public Works Director George Thornes, Transportation Superintendent Brian Connor, Assistant Transportation Superintendent Jennie Knapp, Budget Manager Fact Sheet (2 pages)
ATTACHMENT(S):
FACT SHEET BUS DISCOUNT COUPON BOOKS Standard Bus Fare Per-Boarding fare is $1. Ride-All-Day fare is $3. Discount Coupon Book Approved by MCC at Work Session of 5-31-05 $15 for a book of 20 coupons. (Discounted value is $0.75 per coupon or $2.25 per ride all day pass.) 1 coupon required per boarding 3 coupons required for a ride-all-day pass Sale Locations Convention Center, 65th St. Police Station, Northside Park Recreation, City Hall, Boardwalk Tram Stations and on Buses. Staff is required to maintain a supply of 125 books at each location, excluding Buses. Bulk Sale of Discount Coupon Books Approved by MCC at Work Session of 12-5-10 $250 for 20 books (Discounted value is $12.50 per book, $0.63 per coupon or $1.88 per ride all day pass. FY12 = 8 sold) $600 for 50 books (Discounted value is $12 per book, $0.60 per coupon or $1.80 per ride all day pass. FY12 = 5 sold). $1,125 for 100 books (Discounted value is $11.25 per book, $0.56 per coupon or $1.69 per ride all day pass. FY12 = 1 sold) Typical Purchasers/Users Recordation of who is purchasing Discount Coupon Books is not formally tracked. According to sale agents, typical purchasers are: weekend/weekly Visitors, Parents whose kids are staying in OC for the summer, Businesses, Hotels (i.e. Clarion Resort), Group Coordinators (i.e. Cheer Leaders), Seasonal and Year-round Workers, and a few local churches to help those in need. Sale Trends October through April = Approximately 200 books sold per month May through September = Approximately 2,000 books sold per month Since July 2009 sales/revenue has been steadily declining. (FY10 $232,180 / FY11 $224,775 / FY12 $191,899) As of 3/13/13 FY13 revenue is $133,465. Projected FY13 revenue is $200,000. FY14 Projected revenue is $172,700
Internal Coupon Book Supply and Purchase Costs Transportation attempts to maintain on-hand stock of 12,000 - 24,000 coupon books. Transportation last ordered 12,000 books in December 2011 at a cost of $2,411, or $0.20 per book. Currently, there are approximately 7,500 coupon books on-hand. Based on past sale history, this might sustain us thru August 2013. Transportation is currently poised to order an additional 12,000 coupon books due to anticipated demand for product. If Bus Discount Coupon Books were to be eliminated: Cons o May upset typical purchasers/users o May impose additional financial hardship on those of limited means. Pros o Eliminates profit-making opportunities related to the re-sale of bulk coupon books purchased at discounted prices and then re-sold up-to face value to individuals. o Increased bus fare revenue estimated at $50,000 for FY14. (In FY12, 12,754 coupon books were sold containing 20 coupons per book = 225,080 coupons x $1 per boarding = $255,080 $191,899 (FY12 discount coupon book revenue) = $63,181 difference) o Elimination of expenses associated with product purchase (roughly $3,000 per year) and account maintenance, recordation and reconciliation by staff members. Note: There is no expiration date for bus discount coupons. If discontinued, and if Transportation is instructed not to replenish supplies, the MCC may need to set a cut off date for sale and use of discount coupons/books. (As of 3-27-13 there are approx. 7,500 books on hand).

WORK SESSION -MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL TUESDAY, APRIL 9, 2013 4. NEW BUSINESS J. Presentation of FY 14 Financial Operating Plan by City Manager David Recor, ICMA-CM
TOWN OF
The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council David L. Recor, ICMA-CM, City Manager Preliminary Town of Ocean City FY14 Financial Operating Plan April 5, 2013
Attached for the Mayor and City Councils review and discussion on the April 9, 2013, Work Session Agenda, please find a CD containing the complete raw budget data from the Towns AS400 mainframe as prepared by Department Heads, the Budget Manager and City Manager. As of this date, the Preliminary Town of Ocean City FY14 Financial Operating Plan totals $130,396,993 as follows: Fund General Water Wastewater Transportation Airport Golf Course Convention Center IT Service Center Vehicle Trust Risk Management TOTAL Budget $78,272,716 $7,432,931 $12,638,289 $9,764,890 $1,488,873 $2,145,848 $6,981,045 $1,859,753 $5,298,117 $2,229,590 $2,284,941 $130,396,993
In the Fall of 2012, the Mayor and City Council initiated a much anticipated strategic planning process by collaborating with staff and community residents to create a 15-year Vision for the Town of Ocean City. In addition, 5-year Goals for the community were established as follows: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) Financially Sound Town Government 1st Class Resort and Tourist Destination More Livable Community for Residents Excellent Service Through a High Performing Town Organization Revitalized Ocean City: Development and Redevelopment
The Town of Ocean City FY14 Financial Operating Plan attempts to recognize these 5-year Goals as well as the tentative Priorities established by the Policy and Management Agenda identified in the Strategic Planning process. While the CD provided includes complete preliminary budget details from the Department to City Manager level, the traditional Budget Book, featuring a narrative highlighting revenue
Preliminary Town of Ocean City FY14 Financial Operating Plan Page 2 and personnel changes, changes in Department operations as well as summary comments will be provided at the Work Session on April 9. Department budget reviews have been scheduled with the Mayor and City Council for Thursday, April 11, Friday, April 12, Tuesday, April 16, and Wednesday, April 17. In addition, two wrap-up Work Sessions are scheduled for Thursday, April 18 and Friday, April 19. The preliminary FY14 General Fund budget totals $78,272,716 and is based on the Constant Yield Tax Rate of .4620 plus an additional .0244 for a total preliminary tax rate of .4864. Based on an average assessed value of $221,000, the average tax bill would increase by $39.56 when compared to the 2013 tax rate of .4685. Reaching this preliminary FY14 General Fund budget figure required a great deal of collaboration and cooperation with our Departments. Together, staff reduced proposed expenditures by more than $4.2 million dollars including $3 million in personnel and operating expenditures in addition to $1.2 million dollars in proposed new vehicle purchases. These expenditure reductions were equivalent to .0330 on the preliminary tax rate. Both the FOP and IAFF bargaining unit contracts have been ratified and are scheduled to be presented to the Mayor and City Council at the Regular Session on April 15, 2013. The costs of year one of both collective bargaining agreements as well as an equivalent average salary adjustment for general employees has been included in the preliminary FY14 General Fund budget. Other noteworthy preliminary FY14 General Fund expenditures include: Expense Employee salary adjustments FOP, IAFF and General Employee Roof replacement at the Public Safety Building and 65th Street Garage Principal & Interest 2012 Bonds Six (6) positions in Fire/EMS Transfer to Airport FICA on salary adjustments TOTAL $924,508 $871,000 $796,985 $292,462 $109,955 $70,725 $3,015,635
In addition, Pay As You Go Street Paving has been reduced by $830,000, i.e., from $2 million to $1,170,000. During our initial review of the preliminary FY14 Financial Operating Plan, staff will be prepared to discuss a number of opportunities to increase revenues and/or decrease expenditures including: 1) 2) 3) 4) Additional parking revenue Solid Waste funding alternatives Transportation service reductions Stormwater Utility
Preliminary Town of Ocean City FY14 Financial Operating Plan Page 3 We will also be prepared to discuss the Towns Capital Improvement Plan, including the categories and value of unfunded projects, as well as the $735,000 of unfunded Pay as You Go projects planned for FY14. We look forward to working with the Mayor and City Council as we begin this dialogue. If you have any questions prior to the Work Session on April 9, please do not hesitate to contact me. cc: Jennie Knapp, Budget Manager Department Heads
