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.
