Operating Budget The operating budget consists of personnel costs, supplies, services and maintenance. Over 84% of the operating budget is personnel costs, and the remainder has very little discretionary expenditures. We have received data from the Circle Pines Finance Department with regard to personnel costs for 2011 and we have employed that data is this proposal. The overall budget reflects no significant increase over 2010. Our projections for personnel costs for 2011 include a 0% increase in salaries. There will be no step increases for officers in 2011 as all will have been employed for more than 36 months. Other benefits will be dependent on the result of labor negotiations; however this budget assumes no change in insurance benefits. We have reduced the overtime budget by $30,000. This is the result of a change in the reimbursed overtime, particularly as it relates to Eaglebrook Church. Since the termination of that obligation, the overtime demand has decreased to this new level. Below is an entry for each of the budgeted line items with the requested funding. MIA =11 201 Office/Copying Computer Supplies Maintain at current levels. Experience indicates expenditures have matched budget over the last 30 months. 202 Cleaning Supplies Item can be reduced by $500 to reflect 30 month experience. 203 Printer Forms Maintain at current levels. 211 Intoxilizer Supplies This item can be reduced by $500 due to reduced demand, 212 Fuel Price volatility for gasoline would suggest that current levels should be maintained, 213 Vehicle Supplies Maintain at current levels, 215 Ammunition/Weapons We propose increased expenditures in this area. The cost and availability of ammunition has been significantly affected by the war. We require additional funding to maintain adequate levels of ammunition for training and field assignment. In addition, we will require Taser cartridges to maintain training requirements. Total request of $10,500; an increase of $2500.
