This ordinance increases General Fund revenues in the amount of $149,089 and $3,081, as a result of the Legislature increasing the State -wide appropriation for Municipal Revenue Sharing from $60 million to $80 million, and for an increase in the State's PERS participation. The total increase in revenues is $152,170. This ordinance also appropriates funding and amends the budget for the following items: City Manager — Professional Services, $54,500 This increases the City Manager budget for professional services, specifically for contract legal services. This is caused by contracting for outside legal services for personnel issues and for land issues regarding CINGSA. Library — Repair & Maintenance, $17,600 This increases the Library budget for repair and maintenance, specifically for contract janitorial services. The increase in the size of the Library has resulted in bids for janitorial services to be in excess of the previously budgeted amount. Non - Departmental — Transfer to Other Funds, $17,470 This increases the budget amount for the Comprehensive Plan. Council initially appropriated the amount of City funding ($50,000) necessary to match and receive the maximum Kenai Peninsula Borough Grant ($50,000) for the Comprehensive Plan. Administration anticipated additional City funding would be required subsequent to a defined scope of work being established. Administration anticipate a future appropriation of approximately $35,000 may be required to complete the Comprehensive Plan. Non - Departmental — PERS, $3,081 This increases the State participation in PERS contributions on behalf of the City. Parks, Recreation, and Beautification , Total = $59,519 This increases various personnel budget line items to support a permanent full -time "Parks and Recreation Operator" position. Currently there are two permanent full -time positions in the Parks, Recreation, and Beautification Departments, the Department Director and a Parks & Recreation Operator. This appropriation would provide the funding to add a second Parks & Recreation Operator. The specific job duties for this position would include gardening, horticulture, and other beautification activities. Over the past five years the year -round work -load for the Parks, Recreation, and Beautification Departments has increased substantially. The increase in work- load includes, but is not limited to: 1. Kenai Soccer Complex 2. Daubenspeck Family Park, including winter skating activities 3. Increased efforts in maintaining plantings /flowers and to do so earlier in the year, requiring winter planning /activities. 4. Personal Use Fishery 5. Trail Construction (future) 6. Irrigation (ongoing- future) 7. Snow removal at City Buildings This position was included in Administration's FY2012 budget until the City received the health insurance quote, at which time the Administration's request was removed from the budget presentation as were many other items. The revenues received by the City through the budget year to date, and anticipated revenues will support this position in the future. It is not reliant on what is probably a one -year increase in municipal revenue sharing. Thank you for your attention in this matter.
