I agree with Wayne about the bad roof of plain text. I am afraid people think that making a page accessible is providing a text version without images and anythhing else. I like Emmanuelle's "undress the page" (I mean the idea in it). From the proposals above I would prefer "different view", or what about "alternate view or presentation?"? {Sylvie, 20 June}

To Do
Page titles
- [OPEN action] Find a keyboard way to display the full page title in IE 9 and later and chrome.
- Chrome and some versions of IE do not have a title bar. In those browsers you can see the full page title by hovering over the tab [@@keyboard way to do this?], like this: [@@ need to redo this image with a browser that does not have a title bar]
- [EOWG comment] Learn more about headings - Delete the techniques? Elsewhere we just have links understanding success criteria. Would it be too much -- and beyond Easy Checks goal -- to list all the relevant techniques for each section?
- [OPEN action] To check contrast with IE WAT - finish instructions
Keyboard access and visual focus
- [EOWG thoughts?] Is it specific and clear enough to write: "To select a specific item within an element such as a drop-down list, press the Enter key or Space bar."
Multimedia (video, audio) alternatives
- [OPEN action] In Section "captions", look for a way to turn on open captions with the keyboard, for example in Youtube activating the CC button. (How to do it with nvda from Howard.)- Did some more checking with NVDA & YouTube - see my updated comments at this url - Howard
- [EOWG thoughts?] "If there are captions, transcripts are not usually required; however providing transcripts in addition to captions has many benefits — both to people with disabilities and to website owners. [EOWG: OK to say??]" Should we point to Benefits?
- [EOWG thoughts?] "Check that transcripts include all audio information, including dialogue with the speakers identified, and all important sound [repeat examples above or not?]."
Forms and errors
(Other open issues are being discussed in the Forms section below.)
- [EOWG thoughts] In BAD, it seems that the focus does not go to the error messages. Shall we still include BAD for checking errors? We can submit a change request for BAD, but it will likely be a while before it gets implemented.
- [OPEN action] suggest edit for: "Data tables will not make sense when linearized -- that's OK -- screen readers have functionality to make them usable (when the table is marked up correctly)."
- [EOWG thoughts] suggest edit for: "Check that the information makes sense, for example, [@@ reading order]."
Plain text view / Linearize
- [EOWG thoughts] [ Make sure that there are reasonable ways to skip around long lists of links and other boiler plate content that is repeated on every page in the site. @@ need to be more specific on this one - how do they check that? what specifically are they looking for? or is this not a priority and we should leave it out?]
- [EOWG thoughts] To practice checking plain text view with BAD section: Do we want to point out other things?
Next Steps
- What else to list as other accessibility issues not covered in these easy checks?
- [wait until illustration strategy is decided] Check img alts - some might have @@
- [wait until illustration strategy is decided] Decide if we want more images for the steps. Search for [image].
- [done for now] Search for other open things in [brackets].
- Search throughout for the perspective that the content needs to work, rather than the user has a limitation. e.g., 'users need to be able to' vs. 'websites need to enable users to' {Shawn}
- Ask Identifying Web Accessibility Issues to link to Easy Checks when it's more done.
- Illustrations of focus indication would be useful. Shall I send screen shots to the list or how to provide? {Sharron}
Send them to Shawn & she'll upload them :) {Shawn}
Forms, form labels, and error messages
Comments after 14 June
- comment {name}
- [EOWG] Reconsider: are the labels checks are too hard for Easy Checks? (Suzette say more here? :-)
- [EOWG review] "Check that the focus is at the error message."
Proposal for clearer guidance:
After you have submitted the form with errors, check that your browser brings you directly to the first error on the page. One best practice is to list all errors at the beginning of the form that contain an internal link leading directly to each error."{Sylvie, 17 June}
- Two questions with this:
- How do people "Check that the focus is at the error message" or "check that your browser brings you directly to the first error on the page"? I think this is easy to check with a screen reader but maybe not visually?
Response from Sylvie on June 18: if you take the example of search engines like Google, when you open the home page your browser prompts you directly to the search field, and this even without a screen reader. I am right?
Response from Shawn on 25 June: Yes, but how can the the person doing the check check that? Visually, if it is a text box, there is a cursor. How check non-visually? What if it's a control other than a text box? Or just a plain text message? How check that the focus is there?
- The next bullet says: "Generally it is best if the error messages are before the form, rather than after the form." Is saying "One best practice is to list all errors at the beginning of the form that contain an internal link leading directly to each error." too prescriptive? If not, how can we integrate it into the existing bullet?
{Shawn, 17 June}
I am not sure if it is too prescriptive. It is only an example of what can be done to help the users find the errors. {Sylvie, 18 June}
- [EOWG review] In the note for labels checks, clarify following sentence:
"Note: These instructions help you check if labels are marked up with 'label', 'for', and 'id'; they do not check if form controls are identified in other ways. Therefore, even if a form does not pass these checks, it might still meet WCAG 2.0 another way."{Sylvie, 14 June}
- I added the sentence before in your blockquote. Can you say what is not clear? How me might clarify it? {Shawn, 17 June}
- I mean the sentence: "Therefore, even if a form does not pass these checks, it might still meet WCAG 2.0 another way." I am not sure that this "another way" is clear. {Sylvie, 18 June}
- [EOWG]: Do we want to be more specific? Or how else can we be clear without being too techy and detailed?
- [closed ?] In Check labels with FF, I don't understand following note:
(There's not an easy way to check form control labels with the FF toolbar. The Form Labels favelet works with Firefox, yet it requires installation.)What does this enable you to do? Why do you mention that it requires installation, as FF toolbar also requires installation. More explanations are needed here. {Sylvie, 14 June}
- OK, I added more explanation: "The Form Labels favelet works with Firefox and provides the same information as from IE WAT above." We mention it requires installation because in the beginning we say we only use to 2 tools that require installation, so this is an exception. {Shawn, 17 June}
Closed comments:
- [done. changed to drop-down lists] I thought we talked in one eowg conference about the term "drop-down list box". Is it really the right term or don't you call them drop-down lists? {Sylvie, 17 June}
- "drop-down list box" seems clearest. Is that OK? {Shawn, 17 June}
- I never heard that before but if it is the current term, it is ok. {Sylvie, 18 June}
- [closed.] I am not sure if it is linked to my screen reader, but I am not able to have the links work, such as the link to drop-down list box. {Sylvie, 17 June}
That's because the in-page links go to other sections that are now in the main document at /WAI/eval/ but not in this draft (at /WAI/EO/Drafts...) anymore. They should work when we move this section into the main document.
- [fixed.] In the paragraph "Error handling", first sentence, there seem to be a typo:"Some single simple forms, such as a single search fields,"write "a single search field". {Sylvie, 17 June}
Earlier comments still open 18 June
- [EOWG open - heading for this section simply "Forms?" or more?]
Title on current version is "Forms and Error Messages" but in this wiki it's "Forms, Form Labels, and Error Messages." I prefer the latter {Howard, 6 June}
- Currently the section covers: Labels, Keyboard Access, Instructions, and Error Handling" Maybe keep it short and just use "Forms" ? {Shawn 10 June}
- comment {name, date}
[EOWG open]What to call this section?
(Keep in mind how it fits with the other items in the contents list.)
- Plain Text View
- Linearize the Page for Experiential Learning
- Basic Display
- Bare Bones Display
- How some people "see" the web page
- Information Organization
- Different Presentation
- ...
- I think plain text is a misleading term. It makes me think of the
 element. Very fixed and very rigid. Linearized text, is marked
up HTML. There are links, headings, paragraphs everything but style, and regrettably data tables. Actually it is styled with the default
HTML style. Links are blue, headings are big and lists are lists.
Linearizatized text is very structured markup in a different format. If linearize is to geeky how about "reading order" --convert the page to reading order.
For me plain text has a very bad connotation. People used to give ASCII page equivalents that were rarely equivalent. These alternatives were referred to as "plain text" alternatives.
{Wayne, 17 June}
- It's more than linearize or reading order, it turns off images & CSS as well. {Shawn}
- I think "Linearize" has a foundation that can be explained and is traditional. But it could also be something like, "undress the page", or "stripping the page".{Emmanuelle, 18 June}
- I agree with Wayne about the bad roof of plain text. I am afraid people think that making a page accessible is providing a text version without images and anythhing else. I like Emmanuelle's "undress the page" (I mean the idea in it). From the proposals above I would prefer "different view", or what about "alternate view or presentation?"? {Sylvie, 20 June}
- How about "Text view" or "Reading order"? {Bim, 28 June}
- Among the suggestions above, I prefer:
- How some people "see" the web page
- Information Organization
- Or Bim's suggested "reading order".

Internal Notes
- To see all illustrations, make sure to "expand all sections" because some of the illustrations are in collapsed sections. (however, keep in mind that most of the images will be collapsed by default)
- Make sure to evaluate the images in context, that is, read the text around it and imagine you are a user.
Questions: How is the current use of images for illustrations throughout the draft? Too much? Not enough? Mostly helpful? Too cluttering? Feel free to comment in general, and on specific images.
- comment {name}
- From 24 May teleconference:
- Generally the conceptual images are useful for contrast and zoom; simply the page title images {done 24 May}.
- Mixed perspectives on the images showing menu items and such. For some people they are just clutter, the word instructions are clear enough. For other people, the images really help.
- For now:
- Include images showing menu items and such judiciously — if in doubt, do not include an image.
- Crop or gray out all unnecessary clutter in images. (for example, page-title-image has the content of the web page grayed out.)
I'd like to discuss strategy for illustrations. {Anna Belle, June 9} Here are questions to consider:
- Do we want to use captions? Always? Sometimes? If sometimes, then what distinguishes when they are needed?
- I think it is visually simplier without captions. The images are all illustrations of specific points and the images are right after the points, then I don't think they need captions. {Shawn, 12 June} Agree {Andrew, 13 June}
- If we use captions, then how? E.g. do we give a 10 pixel padding with a border that encloses both image and captions?
- Do we have images embedded in the text flow or do we separate them out (e.g. float to right)?
- I suggest embedded in the text flow. {Shawn, 12 June} Agree {Andrew, 13 June}
- In some images do we want to use embedded explanatory text and arrows? This may be necessary if we aren't using captions. And even if we do use captions, for some concepts it may illustrate the point more clearly.
- I suggest keep them simple -- both for the users reading the page and for us developing the images. I think it would be best to crop and gray out an irrelevant information in the images, and not have to use arrows. Also, if the images are embedded and they are illustrating the text right above them, then they shouldn't need explanatory text. {Shawn, 12 June}
- What is the maximum width for an image?
- We previously decided to make most images 700px wide. We can revisit that decision. {Shawn, 12 June}
- If width is narrow (e.g. 350 pixels), some images will need to be shrunk to a size where detail may be lost. Is that okay? Or do we want to offer a link to a larger version of the image in such cases?
- I vote let's try to make the images useable in the page, and not add the complexity of linking to a larger image. {Shawn, 12 June}
- Do we want to number illustrations? Thus in the text we could say, "See Figure 3" multiple times if Figure 3 is relevant multiple times.
- If we were referring to a single image multiple times, then we would need to do something like this. However, I think we don't refer to an image more than once. Also, currently the images are embedded in the text right after what they illustrate. Therefore, I think it would add unnecessary complexity (both for users and for us ;-) to number the illustrations. {Shawn, 12 June} Agree {Andrew, 13 June}
- Do we want to incorporate all illustrations into the expand sections button? Or perhaps have a separate "See illustrations" button? (I dislike both of these ideas, by the way.)
- Currently there are 3 types of images:
1. Illustrate the concept (e.g., page titles, contrast, zoom).
2. Illustrate the toolbar things to click.
3. Illustrate the results from the tool, e.g., alt text next to images.
Currently the concept images (1) are always shown, and the toolbar images (2 & 3) are shown only when that specific checks step is expanded. I think this works well. [Agree {Andrew, 13 June}]
For the checks steps, we could have the illustrations not visible by default and a button to show illustrations. That might be best for usability; however, I don't think it's a high enough priority for our time. We do not currently have such functionality developed so it would be a new thing to do. {Shawn, 12 June} [Agree - and we don't need more delays in releasing {Andrew, 13 June}]
To see how it might work, I put Images illustrating linearized and changed display (click to show images)
- Currently there are 3 types of images:
- Do we want to limit illustrations to one per concept? If the concept is tricky to illustrate (e.g. how to see titles) do we want to offer the option of clicking through to more illustrations?
- I don't think we want the complexity (for the users or for us) of adding the option to get more illusrations on a different page. Right now we have the following concept images:
- Page titles - 1. shows page title in title bar and cut off in tabs. 2. shows how to get the title from the tab when there is not a title bar. [@@ we need to redo this image with a browser that does not have a title bar :-]
- Contrast - several images that show different color combinations that are mentioned in the text.
- Zoom - 2 that show a page not zoomed and zoomed.
- I don't think we want the complexity (for the users or for us) of adding the option to get more illusrations on a different page. Right now we have the following concept images:
- Do we want to standardize the format to the image? JPG? SVG? PNG?
- I think png {Shawn, 12 June}
- Would it be helpful to specifically state the goal for each illustration in the wiki? E.g. with titles, is it to show people how to see the title at the top of a browser (whether embedded in a tab or not)?
- Yes. Please do! ;-) {Shawn, 12 June}
- What should be the alt (&/or title) for illustrations in different cases, e.g., if the images are sufficiently described in the text, then null? {Shawn, 12 June}
- For the Page Title images: Let me change the suggestion to indicating this information with a title attribute - the images look different from what I see on my setup, so hovering would show what browser & version was being illustrated {Andrew, 15/March}
Recommendations for Illustrations:
Andrew and Anna Belle, 6/27/13
Phase I
- Visually separate illustrations from the text flow by putting border and 10 pixel padding around them.
- Do not float illustrations. Width issues and where they fall relative to the text are too complicated.
- Use captions as a general rule. Illustrations including captions within a border are visually simpler because the reason for their inclusion is explained rather than having to be deduced.
- Gray out irrelevant information in the images, and avoid using arrows if possible.
- The maximum width is 600 pixels.
- Illustrations will not centered, not right/left justified.
- Use PNG for the format.
- Specifically state the goal for each illustration in the wiki. This will help select the best illustration.
- Alt text should (1) briefly explain what is being illustrated and (2) reflect the browser (including the version) and operating system used for browser illustrations.
- Aside: We might consider embedding illustrations in a div element with a class of "figure" in preparation for HTML5. If we do this then the captions can go in a span with a class of "figcaption."
Phase II
- Convert to HTML5 so we can use
 and
 elements for illustrations.
- Add a widget to toggle illustrations on and off.
Illustration Goals
Plain text view:
- Visually illustrate the concept of linearize
- Simple example of how a layout can linearize in different order
- Show what they can expect when they follow the steps
- Show how people with low vision might change the display, to help show it's not just screen readers
Case study notes
See SK/MC Case Study Notes in the 30 May 2013 snapshot
Consider for Later
- The text says: "The first thing screen readers say when the user goes to a different web page is the page title. Page titles are important for orientation — to help users know where they are and move between open pages."
Would it be useful to have a sound clip of the screen reader going through page titles? Low priority, but maybe neat for people who don't know screen readers? {Shawn}

Reading, writing and arithmetic are sooo regular school year.
Students at Harmony Elementary School's summer academy instead learned June 23-27 about the three "Cs" — climbing, crawlies and choreography.
For the third year, the school hosted a variety of summer camps that gave students the opportunity to dive into subjects they may not learn during the regular school year, such as French or Spanish, or which may be too expensive for the regular curriculum — such as art classes where students fuse glass and make pottery.

text: Community. Service. Social Justice. Spirituality. Catholic Social Teaching calls us to make a preferential option for the poor. Every decision we make ought to be made in light of how it affects the poorest among us. In the classroom, students are learning about global issues of social injustice-- such as poverty and hunger. University Ministry seeks to offer students the opportunity to reflect on those issues and meeting people affected by them. Romero HouseUrban PlungeRU, Can U?Food DriveFood for Thought Romero House is a community of Regis University students who wish to explore issues of faith and justice. Inspired by the lives of the Jesuit martyrs of El Salvador, Fr. Vince O'Flaherty, S.J., established Romero House in 1992. The house is named for Archbishop Oscar Romero who was murdered in 1980 for his work with the poor in El Salvador. Students engage in service in their local community, open their home for hospitality nights to educate the Regis community about important justice issues, and live simply so as to better understand the life experience of the poor. They commit themselves to five pillars. The Pillars Intentional Community "The moments that stick out in my memories of Romero House are the times when we were all in the kitchen doing dishes and messing around, sleeping outside in the hammock not being able to see the stars because the neighbors light was on all night, and deepening friendships with people I already loved. As cheesy as it sounds it is true. Finding friends at Regis has always been difficult for me even though I knew many incredible people. I was so particular about the kinds of friends I wanted. I wanted adventurous, sincere, and faithful friends who went to Mass more than parties and prayed more than gossiped. Well, that didn't really happen, unfortunately, and it didn't necessarily happen in RO HO either. What did happen is that I changed and so did my expectations. At Romero House I learned to love the people around me whatever they did or believed. I learned to love as Jesus does-unconditionally loyal and welcoming to all. Jn 17:22-24." Missy (Summer program) "While living in Romero House, my community became my family. My community became some of the closest friends I have had during my time at Regis. My favorite part of the community was our dinners together four nights a week. During this time my housemates and I had an opportunity to reflect on our experiences of service from the day and learn about each other in a deep and meaningful way. The other aspects of Romero House, such as trying to live a simple lifestyle, also helped bring the community closer together. For example, the simplicity challenge of eating only rice and beans for each meal for a whole week would have been incredibly difficult without the support of my community. My community not only shared in these experiences but challenged me to learn and grow from them." Kathryn (Summer program) Service To Others "This past summer I was able to work with kids and families. In this experience, all of my loves came together but something changed within me: my idea of service. I struggled to call what I was doing working with the kids simply service. The relationship was mutual. They were teaching me their experiences, making me laugh, and I was similarly having fun, teaching reading, and learning from them. Romero House teaches you to live in solidarity with those around you and then it is not about service it is rather about being with one another and sharing experiences." Kelsey (Summer program) "For me, service to others comes from working for justice. My site focuses less on direct work with the marginalized peoples of society and more on changing the systems that oppress them. I love working to change the root causes of a problem." Rose (Academic Year program) Commitment to Social Justice "Our commitment to social justice helped us through the times when living in simplicity and living in community became difficult. Our community's decision to go on the SOA pilgrimage was one that we tied to social justice. We all had various issues that we were passionate about, and we shared those with one another. We used hospitality nights to share these issues with the wider Regis community." Mary Anna (Academic Year 2008-2009) An Exploration of Faith "Romero House offers the encouragement and support to explore and deepen my faith life. Taking time each day to reflect and pray, and time each week to check in with my community is a source of support and enrichment. Exploring new meaning to my faith and new ways of looking at the teachings of Jesus and how they can be applied to how I live in the world is something I hope to take with me when I graduate." Rose (Academic Year program) Living a Simple Lifestyle "Although I never went to bed hungry, worried about having running water, or being lonely, Romero House inspired a sense of intentionality in my heart. Through acts of simplicity such as rice and beans week or sleeping on the floor I gained a greater consciousness of the world that I will carry into the future. RoHo was the seed planted within which makes me want to grow a garden, have a compost pile, recycle, and live with a greater awareness with the world around me." Kelsey (Summer 2009) "What impacted me most about Romero House was intentionally living simply. We biked everywhere, ate great simple meals, and did simplicity challenges every week to keep us focused on simplicity. With the support of my community of Dan, Jon, Corrinne, Missy and Katie we were able to push ourselves and grow in solidarity with not only the Salvadoran peoples, but millions of people in the world." Carlo (Summer program) To learn more about Romero House, or to inquire about the application process, please contact Paul Burson or Kathryn Redmond or call 303.458.3550. March 2-3, 2013 An 'Urban Plunge' is an overnight immersion experience that invites personal and societal transformation by exploring root causes of homelessness through engaging in personal relationships with those who are currently homeless and those who serve the homeless population on a daily basis. Sign up in University Ministry. Each Fall, CURA (our small faith sharing groups) sponsors a university wide food drive to support local food banks. They seek the support of the local neighborhood as well, in order to raise awareness of the needs of local people who are in need. Over 2,000 pounds of food have been collected each of the last several years. Food for Thought is sponsored by the CURA program and provides a time for students to share a simple meal and receive spiritual nourishment though the company of other students, a guest speaking on a social justice topic, or another type of activity. Food for Thought is held once a month on Monday evenings.

Gen. Ray Odierno said Tuesday he is disappointed by the Iraqi government's loss of control in key cities in the restive western province of Anbar.
He said the proper U.S. approach now is to remain engaged diplomatically to help Iraqi government leaders get their political system back on track.
Odierno said that despite Iraq's recent setbacks, it still has the potential to become a strong U.S. partner, adding that hopeful prospect is now looking "a bit shaky."
Odierno is the Army chief of staff. He spoke at the National Press Club.


text: Just curious what everyone's thoughts are on these units this year. They have historically been some of the best units in the state according to Eastman's, but with the hard winter last year, I wonder what they are like now. Are they worth burning max points to draw this year, or should they be given a couple years? Personally, I wasn't looking into any of these units (and so haven't spoken to any biologists or wardens), but I have a friend who is looking at them. Most of my research was for units to the north that were more or less out of last year's winterkill area (and with easier draw odds to boot). Anyway, just looking for some honest assessments.

- Author(s)
- Yu, Ai-Min; Zhang, Hai-Li; Chen, Hong-Yuan
- Abstract
- Cyclic voltammetry was used to investigate the electrochemical polymerization of glycine at the glassy carbon electrode. The applied voltage range, pH of electrolyte, concentration of monomer, and cyclic number were found to affect the polymerization process. The resulting film displayed a catalytic activity towards the oxidation of ascorbic acid (AA), reducing the overpotential by 350 mV. A catalytic reaction rate constant of 5.86X10^4 M^-1s^-1 was determined using a rotating electrode. Hydrodynamic voltammetric experiments were performed to characterize the electrode as an amperometric sensor for the determination of AA. At 0.4V (in pH 7.0 PBS) the detection limit is 4.0X10^-8 M (S/N =3). The linear dynamic range was wide, from 6.0X10^-8 to 2.5X10^-4 M.

Powering Up With Perendev Magnetic Motor Plans
Are you tired of the high cost of electricity? The Perendev Magnetic Motor may be the solution you are looking for! It is similar to the magnetic powered motors you may be familiar with but there is something that sets it apart from the rest. Its magnets! Instead of having to periodically replace the magnets and incurring huge expenses when you do, the special magnets in this motor never wear out. Not to mention, it has the potential to produce significantly more kilowatt power than the average motor of its type. Currently, you cannot find them in stores but if you are into do-it-yourself projects, especially ones that have the potential to save you money, there is a solution for you.
For many years, people have been blazing the trail for others when it comes to these remarkable motors. They have been building them without any plans. Fortunately, these trailblazers took the time to record all of their efforts. The records they kept have made it possible for Perendev Magnetic Motor plans to be available to anyone who is interested. A quick search, using your favorite search engine, will show you site after site with information about how to obtain them for little to no cost. Many of these sites make it even easier for you to assemble your motor by providing a detailed materials list, a list of companies that sell the materials, and a video tutorial.
With some time and effort on your part, you too can join the growing ranks of people who are using Perendev Magnetic Motor plans to build their own energy producing devices. Think of how proud you will be when you can successfully put your set of plans to use and create something that could potentially be used for all of your electrical needs.

Personal Confetti
While looking for some New Years Eve inspiration, I came across a wonderful way to personalize a celebration. A DIY project simple enough to create with time to spare for the big night. Images of friends and family can be used to create an image collage. Using paper punches of various sizes, punch out festive confetti circles. Place a handful in an envelope for each guest, and pass them out before the clock strikes midnight. A fun and personal explosion of color and memory of the passing year. Happy New Year!

City Manager Budget Message
Fiscal Year 2012
To Mayor Barrett and Members of the Peoria City Council,
I am pleased to provide you with a recommended FY 2012 Annual Budget and Ten-Year Capital Improvement Program for the City of Peoria. These spending plans reflect our commitment to provide a high level of service to our residents, while preserving our organization's long-term financial viability.
The proposed budget totals $460 million, which represents a 1.10% spending increase from the prior year. Within this, the General Fund Operating Budget totals $106.8 million, a change of 0.31%. The City's Capital Budget will increase 13.48%, for a total of $158.1 million.
The 10-year capital program totals $464 million, an 11.11% decrease from last year's program. While considerably smaller in size, this nonetheless represents a significant investment in public facilities and infrastructure over the next decade.
The City continues to weather through a protracted economic downturn. Given this backdrop, the development of this budget proved to be a tremendous challenge. This year, through a collaborative process, the City's department directors played a key role in developing thoughtful solutions for managing the budget gap. The result is a spending plan that meets the needs of our community, without compromising our financial future.
The guiding principles for this budget are the City Council's 24-month policy goals. Their policy statements offer clear and thoughtful direction for achieving community expectations. The following broad policy priorities are reflected throughout the recommended budget:
Key among these Council goals is a focus on business development. At its workshop in January, the Council renewed its commitment to supporting job creation and private sector investment.
The submitted budget also reflects valuable feedback from our citizens. Results from last year's citywide resident survey highlighted the public interest in preserving neighborhood quality of life. This year's budget continues a focus on keeping Peoria communities healthy and viable. The submitted budget includes funding to strengthen the physical and social assets in our neighborhoods.
Peoria's Fiscal Situation
The City's revenue stream is largely influenced by overall economic conditions. Nationally, the American economy is slowly emerging from a serious recession. Yet in Arizona, the distressed real estate markets and muted consumer spending will likely curtail economic growth in our region. Within the City, property valuations continue to decline, lowering expected property tax collections for FY 2012. This impacts the City's capital improvement program, which relies on property tax to finance large, one-time capital projects. However, recent positive economic trends suggest that sales tax collections will be roughly 2% higher in the upcoming year. Overall, General Fund revenue is expected to remain flat, increasing slightly in subsequent years.
With projections showing limited revenue growth, budgets will continue to be tight in the foreseeable future. For FY 2012, the General Fund still faces a structural shortfall of approximately $3.7 million. Additional uncertainty remains as a result of the State of Arizona's difficulty in managing its budget.
While a challenging situation, we are confident that our prudent fiscal practices and strategic budgeting approach prepare us well for the new fiscal year.
Budget Approach
This year more than ever, the recommended budget was developed through a "bottomup" approach. Throughout the organization, workgroups and cross-functional teams worked diligently to locate potential cost savings. As ideas were put forward, department directors convened in budget strategy sessions to discuss their findings, and to develop collective recommendations to the executive management team.
As part of our strategic budgeting approach, City departments conducted a financial analysis to determine the true cost for services they provide. Using this information, department directors engaged their staff to discuss trends, options and opportunities for addressing citizen needs. Department directors then crafted their work plans based on expected performance outcomes. On a quarterly basis, departments evaluate performance measures to help gauge the status of these expected outcomes.
Workforce Management Strategies
As a service-based organization, personnel costs represent 70% of the ongoing operating budget. Given this fact, our budget solution requires further changes to our workforce level.
Overall, the FY 2012 budget proposes 35 fewer positions than in FY 2011. This includes 26 of the employees who have opted for the city's voluntary severance program. Recently frozen, vacant positions were also identified in the reduction count. The proposed budget also includes ten filled positions that are scheduled for reduction. However, through a series of organizational shifts, and by maximizing vacant positions, I am optimistic that over the next few months we will place all ten of these individuals. By consolidating duties and targeting efficiencies, we anticipate that these 35 position reductions will not notably affect services to residents.
Once again, the budget reflects very little growth in compensation-related expenses. Through the hard work of an inter-disciplinary health benefits team, we expect to limit increases to our health care costs for FY 2012. Recently, the City was made aware of increased employer contribution rates to state retirement systems. These increases have been reflected in the submitted budget.
Going forward, we will continue to perform some organizational "fine-tuning", looking for more ways to optimize our existing workforce and better organize and deploy our employees to meet the changing needs of our dynamic city. As a result, we expect to again submit some budget reductions mid-year to promptly incorporate workforce changes.
Use of Fund Reserves
The Council-adopted Principles of Sound Financial Management have established strong policies on reserve levels for our major operating funds. It is important to remember that much of these reserves are established to address immediate and dramatic fiscal difficulties. To address such emergencies, the budget includes contingency appropriation for crisis events, but does not apply any reserves to address recurring expenses.
Taxes, Rates and User Fees
Given the current economic climate, the budget as submitted strives to limit the financial burden placed on our residents. The FY 2012 recommended budget assumes no increase to property tax rates for the upcoming year. Likewise, the City Sales Tax rate remains at 1.8%.
Over the last year, departments were asked to review current user fees and charges to ensure that appropriate costs were assessed to those that benefit. A small number of recreation and development user fees have been adjusted to help recover the full cost of these individual services.
Within the City's water and wastewater funds, moderate rate increases are required. Despite a successful effort to minimize costs, the rate increases are needed to address growing cost pressures and capital requirements. It should be noted that these represent the first rate increases to customers in over three years.
No rate adjustments are put forward for residential and commercial solid waste customers. Overall, City of Peoria customers continue to enjoy relatively low utility rates among Valley communities.
Budget Priorities
The FY 2012 budget is structured to preserve our community's exemplary quality of life. This begins with a financial commitment toward essential public safety services. The budget proposes no change to the number of firefighter positions. While two sworn police officer positions have been frozen, other operational changes will serve to keep the same number of officers on the streets. This approach enables our new Police Chief to have flexibility to array his resources in the most effective fashion.
Going forward, I am looking forward to continuing our "community-based" policing approach, which proactively addresses potential neighborhood concerns, while establishing vital relationships with community leaders. These efforts will be supplemented with support for important neighborhood amenities.
The successful "Community Works" program will continue, offering small, targeted capital improvements in ways that make an immediate difference. The successful Neighborhood Grant program will continue its successful partnership with local associations to offer landscape and roadway improvements. The ever-popular Neighborhood Pride revitalization program continues for its 15th year, offering support to individual property owners in making improvements.
Peoria has long boasted premier youth-related recreation programs and activities. Various after-school programs, aquatic center activities, and special interest classes have long offered useful outlets for youths and teens in our community. While such services have been curtailed in other Valley cities, we have remained committed to providing affordable and enjoyable alternatives for Peoria's young citizens.
As mentioned earlier, the City Council has articulated a series of important economic development policy goals in its 24-month plan. The FY 2012 budget offers funding to support various business attraction and retention efforts identified in the Economic Development Strategic Plan. Within the capital program are funds to promote targeted land assembly, commercial rehabilitation efforts, and future enhancements in the Sports Complex/Entertainment District area.
Capital Improvement Program
Each year the Council updates the Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The CIP provides a schedule of planned improvements over the next ten years, and identifies financing sources for capital projects over the entire period.
At $464 million, the City's 10-year capital improvement plan is smaller than in recent years. This reflects a slowdown in required financing of growth-related projects. Yet despite this trend, a series of high-profile projects are slated to begin in FY 2012. Projects such as the widening of Lake Pleasant Parkway (north of Dynamite Road) and Community Park #2 will largely complete the necessary
system demands to support the population growth of the last several years. Going forward, more funds will be invested into preserving and maintaining our existing infrastructure.
Also included in the capital budget are a series of projects that will help enliven the municipal campus. The Centennial Plaza project, timed with the Arizona centennial, and housed in between structures at the Municipal Complex, will offer a more passive, culturally rewarding experience for residents. Coupled with the new City Art gallery and café area at City Hall, these projects will help create another important focal area in the Oldtown district.
As with many Peoria residents, the last three years have been very challenging for our organization. Yet, as this budget suggests, we are hopeful that the most difficult period is behind us. We will continue to work closely with Peoria citizens, our community partners, and the business community to strategically invest in efforts to strengthen our community.
I would like to take a moment to thank the City Council for their guidance and support throughout the development of this proposed budget. In addition, I would like to thank the Management and Budget Department staff, our Deputy City Managers, Department Directors, the Human Resources Department staff, and all of the employees of the city who have contributed by creativity and sacrifice to make the FY 2012 budget a reality.

Patrons at a Bellingham, Washington Starbucks got quite the surprise yesterday when a 2008 Chrysler 300 driven by an elderly man crashed through the floor to ceiling window and across the shop. Five people were injured in the incident, though none seriously, and the driver is facing a charge of second degree negligent driving. Fortunately for us, a table was embedded in the grille and it makes it look like the 300 is sticking it's tongue out. We're assuming the injured will be suing for millions to cover the cost of spilled coffee. (Hat tip to R_Evolution)

Hahaha!!! "buy the meat that was made there"... Some people are so dumb.
Arise... Kill, Eat! - Acts 10:13
Nice! I'm still laughin
Shoot STR8
Im sorry, Im allergic to tofu. HAHA!
I hunt because......
Thanks for sharing, that is funny!
Thats is funny, but sad that people really think that. We run cattle in Montana and it is amazing how people don't have a clue how not only the meat but the vegeies they eat come from a farm or ranch.
Elkoholic is correct. haha, so dumb. They should write an article on how many insects were harmed picking their veggies.
that was funny.. and sad..the person that wrote that has no clue what life is all about.. they grow up not knowing about where there food comes from and thinks it is made at the store. it makes you wonder what they really was taught growing up
HA I deal with the same thing with a employee at work. I have a relative that will not eat wild game because it did not come from the grocery store. I would rather eat a elk steak that I packed out and processed my self than eat some beef burger from WalMart.

You're awesome, Gustavo!
Bighead so mean you guys. It's true, though, I'm having major power withdrawals. Which is why I've been waiting for literally and not figuratively months for my retirement to take effect, and why I didn't agree to not retire when asked.
Is it cold turkey bad or just like a mild hangover bad? Either way, this might help: watch this video with muted sound and play Cruising California simultaneously. Might just make you feel better
If not, well it never hurts to try... But seriously, that video makes CC a whole lot funnier
I don't know that it's bad but just different. I mean, after years of doing something, not doing that thing is going to seem strange.
And once again, Rooster is killin' it with the comedy. If the band ever plays CC live, I hope it's like THAT.
When I first heard CC I misheard the lyrics and thought that the song was a bout a kidnapper taking a victim across California.
(go go go!) turn up the beat, yeah
(oh oh oh!) i wanna feel it
(california) don't you wish that you could run
cause you're never going home till the coppers are gone
Totes that's what I heard.
I feel obligated to say so long. I'm almost sorry to see you leave. Well, hopefully you'll stay a little longer, as I'd like to see what you're like when you're free to be angry. But if you don't, it was nice knowing and despising you, and I wish you the best of luck, wherever life takes you.
And if you're in the mood to answer this, I'd appreciate it. Why didn't you ever ban me? Ever? Why?
Quand ils ont dis "Vous vous asseyez," je me suis levé.
I'm not sure I'm leaving, as I've mentioned at least once in this thread. I just didn't want to be a moderator anymore.
I never banned you because despite the romantic notion that I'm a power-mad superbitch who loves oppressing teenage nerds, you never merited banning according to the forum rules. Did I want to ban you just so you'd leave me the fuck alone? Of course. But I didn't.
Well, retiring don't chage much, eh?
Well, if you're sure about my lawfulness, then I guess it made sense. You'll be missed as a mod, I'm sure. Wanna trade places? Me the mod, you the ordinary user? That'd be fun for a couple days.
Quand ils ont dis "Vous vous asseyez," je me suis levé.
Except that she doesn't have a mod account anymore, godxilla, so unless you traded personalities with her as well, switching places for a day would essentially accomplish nothing at all...
I think you mostly fail to understand how difficult it is to get banned, unless you threaten somebody or start spamming the forums with porn. I think ninth got temp banned once and he was one hell of a troll.
Did you get any sweet offspring swag from the band during your tenure? Did the band give you anything now that your are leaving?
I was always surprised you didn't ban more people.

A report of a robbery led to the discovery of an indoor marijuana-growing operation and the arrest of the Frederick man who police say operated it.
Robert Jesse Davis, 61, of the 1400 block of Hunting Horn Lane, is charged with offenses including drug manufacturing, possession of marijuana and hashish, possession with intent to distribute, and firearm violations related to a drug crime after a search and seizure warrant was served early Saturday at his home.
Davis had earlier called police to a separate location, where he reported a home invasion robbery, Frederick Police Department spokesman Lt. Clark Pennington said. Davis told officers the robbers came to his house and assaulted him and that he got away and called police. The robbers got inside the house, but it is unknown what was stolen, said Pennington, who didn't have information Monday about the exact number or description of the culprits.
The investigation led police to Davis' home, where Pennington said detectives and officers noticed signs of possible drug activity, including basement windows covered with dark tape.
Police served the warrant at about 1:20 a.m., finding a sophisticated growing operation in the basement that included two large grow tents about 4 feet wide, 8 feet long and 6 feet high, according to charging documents provided by Pennington.
The tents contained high-intensity lamps, dehumidifiers, electronic insect traps, space heaters, power transformers and electronic timers that regulated the amount of light the plants received. They were also connected to a ventilation system that had fans blowing air through tubes that led to the outside of the house, the documents state. Police also found a large glass jar containing marijuana resin in a refrigerator in the basement.
Police said an upstairs bedroom had been modified into a drying and processing room for the marijuana, and two drying strings containing branches of marijuana were found inside, along with a large bag of marijuana, according to the documents.
In the master bedroom, police found 26 glass jars containing different amounts of marijuana, two large bags of marijuana, five jars of hashish, four jars of hashish joints rolled in cigar paper, as well as pressed and loose marijuana. They also found pipes, grinders and a scale along with about $1,300 in cash and two loaded handguns, the documents state.
Police also found three large bags of marijuana and a pad documenting the development of the plants in the kitchen, as well as harvested plants on the back patio.
Davis was arrested and taken to the Frederick County Adult Detention Center, where he was being held Monday in lieu of $200,000 bail.

The latest evidence points straight to God, confirming He indeed created the universe.
This truth conflicts with the naturalistic view, which holds that the universe began entirely by chance and evolved purely through natural forces. The belief in naturalism is extremely prevalent and strong today, taking root in public schools where naturalist theory is taught as the only explanation for the universe's origin.

Majority Democrats say Gov. Paul LePage identified the concerns they share in his second State of the State address, but they don't agree on all of the Republican's solutions.
AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) _ Democratic Senate Majority Leader Seth Goodall of Richmond says lawmakers need to look beyond what the governor says and consider what he does.
Goodall says that for the last two years, the LePage administration has not strengthened the state's economy or grown the middle class.
In his speech Tuesday night, the Republican governor stressed educational choice for students, strategies to lower energy prices and domestic abuse as top issues.
LePage said he wants to hold schools accountable for how well they are educating students by grading each school.

Emmy Nominations 2014: Where Are All the Asians?
The Emmy nominations were announced last week and as usual, the internet reacted accordingly. TV critics, bloggers, and the general denizens of pop culture took to Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and every other social media outlet to let the world know what they thought of the newly announced nominees—but the biggest focus, as expected, was who got snubbed. I am here to add to that focus.
