Proposed Ordinance 2452 -2009 will create an internal service fund to account for the expenses and revenues of the position. Internal service funds are used to account for funds that provide goods and services to other funds on a cost-reimbursement basis. Total costs for the remainder of fiscal year 2010 are expected to be $11.0,278 and include everything from payroll related expenses as well as equipment needs for the department. It is being proposed to purchase a computer and printer for the new position as well as a vehicle for use by the manager. Similar to purchases from the equipment replacement fund, a separate resolution will be prepared to authorize the purchase of the departments vehicle. The cost of the vehicle to be purchased will be recovered over a five year period due to its cost. Other costs of the department will be recovered in the year incurred. Funding for the fund will be from charges to projects being managed for both manager time and rental of the department vehicle as well as grant funds from the State of Alaska for Public Employee Retirement System on behalf funding. Funding for PERS on behalf is expected to be $10,562 or 18.35% of budgeted wages subject to PERS. Equipment reimbursement is based upon recovering the cost of a $20,000 vehicle with annual operating cost of $8,000 for fuel, insurance, and maintenance. Expected recovery is $1,000 per month and will be allocated to projects based upon hours billed each month. Charge for services is based upon total department costs less PERS on behalf reimbursement and vehicle costs. This net amount will be divided by the available billable hours in a year (typically total work hours less holidays and expected vacation days, training hours, etc.). For the remainder of fiscal year 2010 the project billing rate will be $67.04 per hour as shown in the following calculation: Total Department Budget 110,278 (Less Vehicle Recovery) (8,000) (Less PERS Grant) (10,562) Total to be recovered 91.716 (Cost to be recovered divided by available hours) $91,716/1,368 hours $67.04 per hour Recovery in subsequent years will be adjusted based upon over or under recovery in the preceding fiscal year. As this is the first year there is no under or over recovery adjustment.
