<br />C\D-l <br /> <br />Attachment A <br />1999/2000 Appropriations from Unappropriated Reserves <br /> <br />SECTION I <br /> <br />GENERAL FUND <br /> <br />1. <br /> <br />City Clerk <br />A. City Clerk - The legal advertising account currently exceeds the budget. This excess was <br />caused by an exceptionally large number of legal notices which were incurred early in the <br />fiscal year. <br /> <br />B. <br /> <br />City Clerk - The operating supplies account currently exceeds the budget. Extra <br />expenditures were incurred due to the necessity to outsource copy work for the agenda <br />packet because of the inadequate copier. The copier has been replaced to prevent this <br />expenditure in the future. <br /> <br />Department Total <br /> <br />2. <br /> <br />Finance <br />A. Administrative Support Services - The retiree medical insurance reimbursement program <br />will exceed the budget at the end of the fiscal year. The increase in costs is related partly to <br />increased insurance costs and partly to the increasing number of retirees. <br /> <br />B. <br /> <br />Administrative Support Services - During this fiscal year the City was audited by the State <br />Board of Equalization sales and use tax division. Since the audit covered a three-year <br />period and the taxes were extrapolated from a small sample, Administrative Support <br />Services absorbed the cost rather than attempt to allocate it out to the departments <br />involved. <br /> <br />C. <br /> <br />Administrative Support Services - A portable public address system for City Hall is needed <br />which was not anticipated when the original budget was prepared. It will be available for <br />special events the Council has in the lobby or outside. <br /> <br />Department Total <br /> <br />3. <br /> <br />Fire <br />A. <br /> <br />Fire Operations - The increase in overtime costs is attributed to a number of reasons. <br />Some of the reasons are: opening of Fire Station No. 20 at the Shores and staffing it with <br />existing personnel, commencement of the paramedic program (Le. overtime to cover the <br />necessary training of firefighters), salary adjustments and other negotiated MOU revisions <br />during the budget cycle, and having a number of workers' compensation cases as well as <br />resignations (Le. vacancies). <br /> <br />B. <br /> <br />Pursuant to the current memorandum of understanding (January 1, 1998) between the City <br />and the Intemational Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF), the City is required to contribute <br />funds for the retiree medical insurance for eligible IAFF retirees. The Fire Department <br />hoped to fund this contribution through budget savings during the last two-year budget. <br />Such savings have not become available for this purpose. <br /> <br />Department Total <br /> <br />9,000 <br /> <br />4,500 <br /> <br />13,500 <br /> <br />58,430 <br /> <br />63,570 <br /> <br />3,000 <br /> <br />125,000 <br /> <br />320,000 <br /> <br />15,700 <br /> <br />335,700 <br />
