Explanation of Budget Amendment Requests for Ordinance 2014 -48 GENERALFUND • Mayor's Department: Increasing hospitalization benefits for new Administrative Assistant. The previous employee in this position opted out of this benefit; therefore, it was not included in the original budget. • Mayor's Court: Amount spent on court overtime for police officers in 2014 is consistent with 2013; however, less was budgeted this year for overtime and the related benefits, so we need to increase the budget to the amounts actually spent last year. • Finance Department: Increasing salaries and benefits to cover part time employee hours for Assistant Finance Director and the part time Bookkeeper. Due to recent retirements in the Building Department, the part time Finance Bookkeeper has been working additional hours in the Building Department. She will continue to help out at the Building counter until a replacement is hired. • Law Department: Increasing hospitalization benefits for an employee who changed from single to family coverage. • Police Department: A full year of salaries and benefits were budgeted for two police officers who were expected to start in 2014. One officer started in May, and the other in June, so there is excess in the budget that will be used to cover the other budget adjustments in the General Fund. Moving $5,000 within the Police Department budget from Supplies to Contractual Services for equipment repairs. Less was budgeted this year in that line. RECREATION FUND: Increasing the transfers out to the Bond Retirement Fund by $70,000. This is for the repayment of debt. Amount was inadvertently omitted from the original budget. ENDOWMENT AND GRANT FUND: Increasing contractual services in the Planning Department for a donation that was received for the City's bicentennial celebration activities.
