....~ CITY OF NORTH OLMSTED TEMPORARY APPROPRIATIONS - 2010 Ultimately we know 2010 appropriations will be lower than 2009. A high level overview methodology was utilized to develop the 2010 temporary appropriations to allow us to operate until a permanent budget is passed. Temporary appropriations were calculated by taking one-fourth of the current year appropriation for most accounts. The temporary appropriation for some accounts was adjusted to make sure funds are available for payments that are due in the first quarter of the year, and to make sure the City has the resources necessary to handle emergencies and severe weather. • Appropriations for capital outlay were eliminated except for expenditures that were funded by borrowed money from prior years. • Road salt is appropriated at 100% of the current appropriation. • Excess Worker's Compensation insurance was budgeted at 100%. • The appropriation for bank fees was budgeted at $ 13,000 because the majority of fees are paid in January. • Dues and membership fees and permits that are due in the first quarter of the year were appropriated in the temporary appropriations. • Auditor and Conversion services are appropriated at the prior year level. The majority of these services are provided in the first quarter of the year. • Overtime in the service and fleet services departments are appropriated at 100% of the current year level. This is to make sure the funding is available to cover the labor needed in an emergency or in the case of severe weather. • Police and fire overtime were appropriated at 50% of the current budget because a large percentage of overtime in those departments occurs during the holidays and i'n the first quarter of the year when the weather is severe. • Debt payments that are due in January, 2009 were included in temporary appropriations. All other debt payments were left out. • Equipment parts in the fleet department were appropriated at 100% of the current year budget to make sure enough is available in case of an emergency. • The estimates for fuel were reduced by $ 100,000 for the year, so the temporary budget for fuel was calculated by taking one fourth of the current year budget and reducing that amount by $ 25,000.
