,-0 t III 1�N HILLS MEMORANDUM DATE: August 25, 2009 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Ron Moorse, City Administrator FROM: Sue Iverson, Finance Director SUBJECT: 2009 Budget Adjustments Background/Discussion: During the 2009 budget process, the Council did not support the Assistant Fire Chief position in the Lake Johanna Fire Department budget. As a result, we did not budget for this position. Subsequently, it was decided by the fire board to leave this amount in the budget and it has become part of our contract amount for 2009. A budget amendment will be needed to increase the -Fire contract line item by $13,348. During the 2009 budget process, the $44,000 revenue in Police Aid was double counted in the final budget. It was correctly recorded in the Intergovernmental Revenues, but was also found to be "netted" against expenditures, resulting in the Contract Policing line item being $44,000 to low. A budget amendment is needed to increase the Contract Policing line item by $44,000. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends a motion to approve budget amendments to the 2009 Budget in the Public Safety department, an increase of $13,348 for Fire Contracts and a $44,000 increase to Contracted Policing.
