On August 10 Fire Chief Tilly received notice that the City's grant application to fund three
new fire fighter positions was unsuccessful. As discussed during preparation of FYI l Budget,
Ordinance 2512 -2010 would appropriate, using local funds, funding for and authorization of the
hiring of three fire fighters. Three additional fire fighters will provide one additional responder
per shift for the department.
$175,493 represents funding for three fire fighters for eight months resulting in a projected
General Fund budget deficit of $112,807. The FYI 1 Budget was adopted with a projected
budget surplus of $192,309. Since adoption of the FYI1 Budget, FY10 outstanding
encumbrances totaling $128,209 were carried forward and supplemental appropriations totaling
$17,473 have been made. A full years' funding would be $274,536 at the FYI 1 pay scale and
would have created a projected budget deficit of $68,500 for the FYI1 Budget prior to any
supplemental appropriation or encumbrance being carried forward.
