It also includes funds to manage the administrative support <br />and human resource functions of the City. This budget decreased by 4.60% in 2018. <br /> <br />Personal Services shows a decrease of 33.95% due to changes in staffing and salary adjustments. <br />Other Services and Charges are increasing, by 16.70%, due to a number of factors. Most of these <br />are due to increased use of credit cards, technology, and anticipated expenditures for outside <br />services <br /> <br />Since Administrative Support Services and Finance benefit all areas within the City, an <br />administrative charge was established in 2008 to recover costs from all funds based on the <br />support provided from this department. Various line items in Other Services and Charges were <br />increased or reduced in an effort to more accurately reflect expected expenditures. <br /> <br />Budget Summary <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Function: General Government Department: Finance & Administrative Services <br />Appropriation Detail <br />Actual Actual Budget Amended YTD Preliminary % Change <br />Activity FY 2015 FY 2016 FY 2017 FY2017 5/31/2017 FY 2018 17 vs 18 <br />Personal Services 59,612 61,677 68,176 68,176 24,275 45,030 -33.95% <br />Materials and Supplies 22,738 16,490 24,100 24,100 5,190 23,100 -4.15% <br />Other Services and Charges 80,196 94,102 93,400 93,400 48,277 109,000 16.70% <br />Total Operating Expenses 162,546 172,268 185,676 185,676 77,743 177,130 -4.60% <br />Total Capital - - - - - - 0.00% <br />Department Total 162,546 172,268 185,676 185,676 77,743 177,130 -4.60% <br />Funding Source: General Fund
