Memo - City Council <br />2015 Budget and Tax Levy Discussions <br />8 <br />Administration, Finance and Administrative Services, and Government Buildings to all funds <br />from the General Fund per the salary allocation as found in your budget books. These charges <br />were instituted in 2008.) <br /> <br />Expenditures <br /> <br />Public Safety is increased by $86,118 for increases in the Fire Contract ($28,173, 6.54%), <br />Sheriff’s Contract ($48,829, 4.71%), and Dispatch <br />($9,116, 15.1%). <br /> <br />Finance and Administrative Services is proposing to add <br />back in the intern positions that were cut in 2014 which is <br />0.75 FTE.

This was done to allow additional capacity for the City <br />Administrator to delegate duties to the Finance Director and reduce the amount of backlog <br />created in the Finance department each time a new intern came onboard. The Personnel <br />Committee reviewed this proposal and recommended it to the City Council as they did the <br />Associate Planner in 2014. A copy of the Council agenda item, which outlined the change to the <br />department in 2010 with the explanation, is attached (Attachment C and D). This was authorized <br />and approved by the City Council on November 29, 2010.
