- MAYOR'S MESSAGES -
May 25, 2001
Honorable Ronnie Steine
Vice Mayor
Metropolitan Council
102 Metro Courthouse
Nashville Tennessee 37201
Dear Vice Mayor Steine and Members of the Metropolitan Council:
As required under our Metropolitan Charter, I am today submitting a balanced budget for consideration by the Metropolitan Council. The Budget we have filed totals $1.229 billion dollars.
The budget is the embodiment
of our priorities and our will to meet the needs of our city. Our priorities
and therefore our budget objectives are:
· To fully fund our schools
· Assure public safety
· Provide a quality of life that enhances our community and neighborhoods
· Provide a fair and sustaining income for our employees
The budget I present to you today accomplishes these goals. It is balanced and is fully funded.
Education is the most important function of this city. It is now time for sustained investment in our public schools. Over the next five years this system will require $165 million in new operating funds. This budget funds the first large installment --$34 million. It will provide 114 new teachers - to reduce class sizes, guidance counselors in every school and assure modern technology, and paper, for every school for the first time.
This budget maintains our commitment to public safety. It makes it possible for the city to recruit and retain public safety employees in the years ahead by bringing starting salaries in line with the market in other cities. It also makes significant improvements in emergency communications and fire safety that touch our shared quality of life.
This quality of life can be found in the community and our neighborhoods each day. The budget funds the neighborhood enhancement grants and provides additional resources for the Office of Neighborhoods to serve our community. It also provides improved funding for the Planning Commission and our Arts Commission.
It is our job to value the work our Metro employees do as they are called to do it. Last year they received no pay increase. While they waited and worked we hired William M. Mercer, Inc. to determine the facts as they do for private and public employers around the world. They found our employees largely underpaid. They recommended general reclassification together with general pay increase in each of the next three years. This budget fully funds these recommendations. It provides a four percent across the board increase next year and a three percent increase in each of the years that follow.
I look forward to your careful consideration of this budget. Our Finance Director, David Manning, and my staff are ready to assist you in your review.
Sincerely,
/s/ Bill Purcell
