SUBJECT:
Changes from Budget Workshops
Please find attached a summary of changes from the budget workshops. The top section of the spreadsheet
reflects changes to the General Fund that were recommended by Council. Among these changes are the
adjustment to Council lease and maintenance fees, enhancement to annual retreat costs, the relocation of City Hall
janitorial expenditures (no budget impact), the deletion of five year vesting, enhancement to customer service
training and the addition of garbage bags to sell, which will impact both the expenditures and revenues.
The second section reflects changes that were brought forth by staff. As previously discussed, these changes
include: a reduction in professional services in Criminal Investigation for lab fees, the deletion of the Assistant
City Manager position in Finance, the adjustment to attrition, an increase in electrical costs and an adjustment to
revenues. Since the workshops, staff has had a chance to revisit the revenues and has made adjustments based on
current year's actual numbers using two more months of data. The revenue adjustment includes an increase in
sales tax revenues, an increase for gas and cable franchise fees, and increase in the mixed beverage tax and an
adjustment for the Fire Contract revenues. Additionally, another $150,000 has been added for the implementation
of the compensation study. The study has been delayed so the final amount is not known yet.
An additional request is included for a transfer of $153,915 from the General Fund to Fund 043 for the EMS
Remodel. This item will also be on the agenda.
Lastly, the spreadsheet shows an adjustment for the Golf Course operations and the increase in the Chamber
Contract.
All of the above mentioned changes have been made to the Proposed Budget. Please contact me if you have any
questions.
