First Reading (M. Browne/J. Walters) |
BACKGROUND
During the budget process, all departments' personnel budgets are reduced in anticipation of having some positions vacant due to turnover or new hires. At the end of the year, not all departments had vacant positions and could be over budget.
This ordinance is to adjust personnel lines for departments without turnover savings or that didn't have enough personnel savings. These overages will be covered by other departments with more than estimated turnover savings, departmental savings, contingency funds for personnel. and additional sales taxes.
Fire also will be over in their personnel lines due to high state deployments. These expenditures will all be reimbursed by the state and this adjustment will reflect that anticipated additional reimbursement.
