GAS TAX CONSTRUCTION FUND <br /> <br /> 1. The Council conceptually approved a transfer from the Roosevelt Avenue (203,345) <br /> Reconstruction project to the Building Permitting Software and Hardware <br /> project. <br /> <br /> FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT GRANT <br /> <br /> 2. The Police Department received a Federal Law Enforcement Grant which 84,286 <br /> requires an appropriation to enable the Police Department to begin <br /> expending against the grant. <br /> <br />Grand Total 3,192,747 <br /> <br /> Pending Items <br /> <br />There are several pending budget adjustments, of which the final amounts are not known at <br />this time: <br /> <br />1. Retiree Health Premiums - During this year there have been continued substantial <br /> increases in medical insurance premiums. This, combined with dropped insurance <br /> plans at the lower tier resulting in retirees enrolled in higher plans, has created the need <br /> for an additional General Fund appropriation of $50,000 to finance the City's contractual <br /> agreement to provide health insurance to eligible retirees. <br /> <br />2. Fuel and Power Costs - The Public Works department has determined that there are <br /> insufficient appropriations to cover the fuel costs for the City's fleet, and the power costs <br /> for street lights, traffic signals and utilities pumping. Staff plans to mitigate these <br /> increases through implementation of general budget tightening across all line items, and <br /> will recommend an appropriation adjustment later in the year to cover any increased <br /> costs that cannot be absorbed. <br /> <br />3. Planning Employee Costs - During the year a contractual Planner was hired to cover <br /> staff leave of absence. It is anticipated that this cost may be borne partly by the <br /> Redevelopment Agency, and therefore, an appropriation adjustment will be <br /> recommended later this year when a more accurate allocation is known. Until then, the <br /> Planning Division will attempt to absorb as much of these increased costs as possible <br /> within the existing budget. <br /> <br />4. Parks, Recreation and Community Services Employee Costs - During the budget <br /> process for amending the second year of the budget, 2001-02, the costs associated <br /> with certain full time equivalent positions were erroneously left out of the budget system. <br /> Staff will monitor the total departmental pers. onnel services throughout the year, and if <br /> necessary, recommend an appropriation adjustment later this year. <br /> <br /> A-3 <br /> <br /> <br />
