Fiscal Year 2000/2001 Appropriations Revisions; Recommendation: (501) ORDINANCE APPROPRIATING SPECIFIED AMOUNTS FROM DESIGNATED UNAPPROPRIATED FUND BALANCES TO SPECIFIED APPROPRIATIONS, CANCELING CERTAIN APPROPRIATIONS, AND TRANSFERRING SPECIFIED AMOUNTS FROM DESIGNATED APPROPRIATIONS TO OTHER SPECIFIED APPROPRIATIONS; MO 01-95 Finance Director Ponty provided the staff report stating that the issue of the 2000/2001 Appropriations Revisions pertains to budget adjustments and amendments (about 27 line items). Council Members asked if the line item relating to the overtime paid out to the Fire Department was in addition to the amount that was already allocated in the budget. Mr. Ponty explained that the item listed was an additional appropriation to supplement the current appropriation for Fire Department's overtime. Chief Montez made some comments on the fact that over the last year there were 3 firefighters that either retired or were out on medical disability, and this impacted the rest of the team. However Chief Montez expects to be fully staffed very shortly, and avoid the overtime situation. Chief Montez was asked to convey the City Council's gratitude for their work earlier on the day in trying to extinguish a very serious fire in a downtown building.
