<br />Four division should be under budget by amounts exceeding $75,000. The Non-departmental Division, accounted
<br />for under the Finance Department, should be under budget by $172,200. This Is attributed to the City not having
<br />to use all of its budgeted contingency. The Employee Health Services Division, also accounted for under the
<br />Finance Department, should be under budget by $91,300 because costs for claims and re-Insurance were less than
<br />originally budgeted. The Streets Division and Resldent1al Solid Waste Division, both accounted for under the Public
<br />Works Department, should be under budget by $80,508 and $93,815 respectively. These underages are In the area
<br />of personnel services. As a result of these underages, as well as others throughout the budget, the City studied the
<br />impact of employee turnover throughout the budget and made adjustments for divisions that historically experience
<br />significant turnover In the work force. The City has budgeted these division at less than full employment for the new
<br />year with the un~erstandlng that any overages can be covered from the contingency amount
<br />
<br />The expenditures for the new year are budgeted at $18,351,635, which Is $404,550, or 2.25% greater than the current
<br />fiscal year. The expenditures, by department, for the current fiscal year are shown below:

<br />Of the thirty different general fund divisions that comprise these seven departments, eleven are budgeted at amounts
<br />less than their 1993-94 budget level and a total of 19, or 63%, have budgets less than 3% greater than the previous
<br />year.
<br />
<br />Divisions with significant Increases are the Municipal Court Division, accounted for under the Administration
<br />Department, which had an Increase of $37,678 or 12.8%, which Is caused by the Increase of costs for judicial
<br />services. The Comn:'erclal Solid Waste Division, accounted for under the Public Works Division, has an Increase of
<br />$70,000 caused by an expected Increase In usage and rate changes from the private hauler. The Non-Departmental
<br />Division, accqunted for under the Finance Department, has an Increase of $251,080, which Is priman1y the result of
<br />an Increase In the amount annually transferred to the General Capital Improvement Fund.

<br />The budget as adopted, does not contain any major expansions or reductions In service levels nor does it contain
<br />any across the board salary adjustments.
<br />
<br />General Fund Overall Fund Condition
<br />
<br />The projected end-of-year working capital balance for the General Fund Is $3,738,007 which Is approximately 20.4%,
<br />or 74 days of budgeted expenditures. While this Is below the targeted working capital balance as called for In the
<br />City's Financial Management Policies, we believe It to be suffi91ent for the year and that the General Fund will achieve
<br />this target In 1995-96 budget year.
