6. Resolution 5367 - Resolution of Intent and Call for PH - Budget Amendment - Fire DepartmentCity of Kalispell Post Office Box 1997 - Kalispell, Montana 59903-1997 - Telephone (406)758-7700 Fax (406)758-7758 REPORT TO: Mayor Kennedy and City Council Members FROM: Amy Robertson, Finance Director Myrt Webb, Interim City Manager SUBJECT: Call for Public Hearing Budget Amendment for FY2009 MEETING DATE: May 18, 2009 BACKGROUND: A public hearing is necessary prior to amending the City's fiscal 2009 budget. 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 30th 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. RECOMMENDATION: Call for a public hearing for June 1, 2009 FISCAL IMPACT: $130,000 will lower General Fund reserves. Wb Amy H.
