REPORT TO: Mayor Kennedy and City Council Members
FROM: Amy Robertson, Finance Director
Myrt Webb, Interim City Manager
SUBJECT: Fire Department
Budget Amendment for FY2009
MEETING DATE: June 1, 2009
BACKGROUND: The Fire Department fiscal 2009 budget needs amending. In
reviewing budgets for payroll it appears that the Fire salary line item will exceed budget by as
much as $130,000. This is a result of several things.
When the fire marshal positions were eliminated the personnel were not laid off but
moved, one to building department and one stayed in the fire department- The fire position,
however, was not budgeted and no vacancy opened up to fill.
2. The union contract authorizes fire personnel to work 10 Kelly Days each which has the
potential of 310 days, 24 hours=$150,000+. In the past Kelly Days were used little 2006 =
$7,389 and 2007 = $5,290. The line item for Kelly Days was dropped out of the budget in
2008. We anticipate about $60,000 in Kelly Day straight time this fiscal year.
3. It is our estimate that the Ambulance Fund will be $30,000 in the red June 301h which will
require moving $30,000 of salaries and benefits back to the General Fund Fire budget. The
Ambulance fund has budget authority but collections are down.
A Public Hearing is scheduled for this meeting.
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution 5369 amending the Fire budget.
FISCAL IMPACT: $130,000 will lower General Fund reserves.
