Action Sought
Action Sought:
Approve Resolution 7644 amending the 2015 budget.
Background:
The 2015 Budget was adopted on December 2, 2014 and staff continually monitors
this budget to ensure revenues and expenditures are within the budget parameters of
the adopted budget. In reviewing the budget to actual information for 2015, it has
been noted that the Fire Department part time wages expenditures exceed the 2015
established budget.
One component of the increased expenditures is due to a wage increase for
paid-on-call firefighters.that was approved in late 2014, with a January 1, 2015
effective date, yet this does not fully explain the budget shortfall. Budgeted wage
amounts for all Departments are calculated by the Finance Department, and for an
unknown reason, only $255,000 was included in the 2015 budget for part-time
wages in the Fire Department. This is despite the fact that $270,507 was spent on
this category in 2013 and $276,711 in 2014. Staff projects the Fire Department part
time wages will exceed the 2015 Adopted budget by $64,600.

In order to make this budget amendment, staff recommends reducing the 2015
Administration budget wages by $64,600. This reduction is possible due to
vacancies in Administration during 2015. In preparing the 2016 budget, the Fire
Department wages allocation has been correct to reflect the appropriate budgetary
amount for 2016.
