MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Knackstedt and Council Members
THROUGH: Terry Eubank, City Manager
FROM: Dave Swarner, Finance Director
DATE: April 14, 2026
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 3529-2026 - Increasing Estimated Revenues and
Appropriations in the General Fund - City Manager for Leave Cash -Out,
Finance Information Technology Salaries and Benefits, and Public Works
Administration Salaries and Benefits in Excess of Budgeted Amounts.
The FY2026 City Manager Budget included appropriations for personnel services and projected
leave cash -out expenditures for positions. Actual leave cash -out in the City Manager department
exceeded the amount originally budgeted.
The FY2026 Finance Budget did not fully appropriate personnel costs associated with Information
Technology positions due to an error in the allocation calculation of the personnel costs. As a
result, expenditures are expected to exceed budget in the Finance Department.
The FY2026 Public Works Administration Budget included personnel costs allocations based on
projected support provided to capital improvement projects. Actual capital project activity was
lower than originally projected, resulting in a smaller percentage of personnel costs being charged
to capital projects. The reduced capital project cost allocations resulted in an increased amount
of personnel expenditures remaining within the Public Works Administration operating budgets.
am respectfully requesting supplemental funding for these balances in excess of budgeted
amounts.
