Re: Ordinviee 2406-2009
With the end of the fiscal year approaching the Finance Department has been working with
various City departments to review their budgets. As a result a number of needed adjustments
have been identified for General Fund departments.
Utilities
Fiscal year 2009 has seen significant fluctuation in utility costs. Electrical rates have seen two
increasing rate adjust as well as decreasing rate adjustment. Nahn-a1 gas rates saw a single rate
increase. The result is a number of department budgets were insufficient to absorb the rate
increases that occtured. The following departments are in need of budget increases in their
utility accowlts totaling $50,500:
Non-Departmental X5,000 Shop X12,000
Police $4,600 Streets $2,000
Fire $5,000 Street Lights $4,000
Animal Control $1,000 Library $9,650
Recreation $2,000 Parks $1,000
Boating Facility $3,800
Communications
Communication budgets in a munber of departments are in need of minor increases totaling
$1,515:
Animal Control $660 Public Works Administration $165
Buildings $660
Professional Services
Several significant computer system projects took place during this fiscal year which the
budgeted amowit is insufficient to support. During the current fiscal year the City's email server
has been upgraded, system back-up issues at multiple sites has been addressed, Internet and
network security has been addressed, audio and video streaming of Council meetings was
accomplished and a system upgrade to the City financial software is underway. $28,000 in
additional consulting services budget is needed to complete the fiscal year.
Personnel Services
employee ath~ition and larger than expected annual leave cash outs have depleted wage accounts
in various departments requiring additional funds to complete the fiscal year $50,400:

Finance -Leave $21,750 Animal Control -Overtime $6,500
