<br />City of Redwood City <br />FY 2009-2010 Budget Amendments <br />Detail of Prollrammatic Reductions <br /> <br />78 <br />PaQe 13 <br />Attachment'"2 <br /> <br />GENERAL FUND <br /> <br />Finance <br /> <br />Package 1 <br />Package 2 <br />Package 3 <br />Package 4 <br />Total: <br /> <br />o <br />o <br />($24,391) <br />($32.889) <br />($57,280) <br /> <br />Cumulative <br />o <br />o <br />($24,391) <br />($57.280) <br /> <br />Packaee 1 <br />N/A <br /> <br />Packaee 2 <br />N/A <br /> <br />Packaee 3 <br />Description of Proposed Reduction <br />This proposal eliminates a Senior Accountant and replaces it with a lower level Accountant. <br /> <br />Service Level Impacts <br />Replacing the Senior Accountant position with an Accountant position may impede knowledge transfer <br />and succession planning efforts. This change will also reduce flexibility in workload distribution as <br />more complicated and higher level responsibilities that would normally be assigned to a Senior <br />Accountant likely will not be assigned to an Accountant. <br /> <br />Packaee 4 <br />Description of Proposed Reduction <br />All reductions from Package 3; Additionally, Package 4 would eliminate 35 hours of overtime within the <br />Telephone Services budget, removes one high speed data communications line between City Hall and <br />the Schaberg Library, blocks use of 411 calls, changes cell phone plans for IT employees, and eliminates <br />separate phone lines for fax machines. Fax lines will be replaced with phone lines from our phone <br />switch. <br /> <br />This proposal also deletes all conference budget within the Financial Services budget, eliminates all <br />training for the division except $275 for payroll, and shifts software development costs to CIP. <br /> <br />Service Level Impacts <br />Some impact as support for the telephone system outside of normal business hours will not be <br />available for equipment replacement of system problems. Additionally, all maintenance on the <br />telephone system will be performed during business hours causing down time during normal business <br />hours. Short term impact should be minimal as phone system is two years old and is under warranty <br />for another two years. <br /> <br />Certain IT staff will be unable to call out of state to resolve problems. Removing the high speed data <br />communication line to the Schaberg Library will not impact services as we now have optic fiber cable <br />
