Ordinance adopted on first reading appropriating funds.Yor
expenditure in 1973 from reserves in the Sanitary Landfill
fund, the Equipment Fund, the Water Fund, the Seiner Fluid and the
Light and Power Capital Fund
City NLuia.ger Brunton reviewed the justifications for appropriation changes
below: .
Sanitary Landfill Fund - P47,000: Reasons are (1) salary increases, (2) equip-
ment repairs, and O necessity and purchase of major niece of equipment.
Equipment Fund - 053,000: Reasons are (1) salary increases, (2) increase in
gasoline Fi ces anc other maintenance increases, (3) increases in iurGase price
of cars, and (4) plan to purchase some police cars early.
1',ater Fund - $38,500: Reasons are (1) increased cost to maintain Michigan Ditch„
(2) salary increases, (0) transfer of salary of Public Works Director from
General Fund to Sewer and Water Utility Funds due'to reorganization, (4) Equinmerz
Fund increased rental charges, and (5) cost of major medical insurance, and (6)
general inflationary increases.
Sewer Fund - 591000: Reasons are (1) transfer of salary of Public Works Girectcr
from General Fund to Sewer and water Utility Fund due to reorganization, (2)

Light and Power Fund:- $50,000: Reasons are primarily in Capital Fund, Several
projects are off their original construction schedule because & delivery delays,
for example the Overland -Mulberry Substation. Also because of the; longer
delivery schedule, more equipment has to be ordered and expenditures made earlier.

Resolution adopted transferring funds between appropriations
City Manager Brunton stated a memorandum was included with the agenda but
for the benefit of the audience, he would review the summary for the over,
expenditures.
1
I i
A budget is a financial Man for the fiscal period it is intended to covar. It. ,
is not a "license" to spend but only authorization. Therefore, every item,
even though authorized and appropriated for, should be reviewed 'before the
expenditure is made. The amount budgeted in the various line items is a realistic
14
31 b,
estimation of the actual cost. However, at the time of expenditure, the actual
price will vary sometimes down, but all too often upward because of inflation.
' Since the various departments' over expenditures do not exceed the total General
Fund appropriations, only a resolution is needed transferring funds between the 4
various departments' appropriations. The $189,7S0 is taken from seven department A
accounts that are under -expended and transferred to fourteen department accounts
that are over -expended. Listed below is a summary of the justifications for the
various over expenditures.
City Council.'- $3,000: Increased primarily due to expansion from five to seven
Council members, an outcome of the April, 1973, City election and effective
O May 1, 1973.
City Manager - $4;000: Increased primarily due to salary changes for Assistant
City Manager and Adiainistrative Secretary and part --time help. No increase is
Cal budgeted for City Manager's salary or fringe benefits.
Personnel - $1.6,000: 19e received $20,000 in revenue and $20,000 in expenditures
for the Stommor Youth Program. This was not included in the 1973 budget.
City Attorneyy $1,�00: We had need for special labor legal counsel which was
not included in the lI73 budget.
Police = $2_9z000: There are at least four reasons for this increase, (1) higher
Equip;:ient build rental costs, (2) salary increases, (3) charging police study to
General Fund rather than originally scheduled Seven Year Sales Tax Capital Fund,
' and (4) various grants totaling $17,000 which were not budgeted as revenue and
expenditures in the 1973 budget.
Fire - $31,000: These increases are primarily due to salary changes, (1) 3
increase and Longevity plan on January 1, 1973, (2) 6> increase on July 1, 1973,
(3) changes in table of organization as a result of salary study and reclassifi-
cation of positions with corresponding salary increases.
Streets and Alleys='$30,000:. Besides salary increases, there were at least three
projectswhere expenditures were made without being budgeted for: (1) Stover
Street; (2) Duckingham Paving Project, and (3) streets around Rocky Mountain
High School.
Traffic and Street Lights'- S9,500: Additional traffic signals and signs were
ordered.
Parks'- $9,500: Two of the reasons for the increase are (1) repair and maintenance
that: was not planned for (as an example, a pump burned out which costs $2,000 to
ropair); (2) the lights at Edora Park ball diamond were paid for to the Electric
Utility with a pay -bank schedule, and for some reason the transfer was not made in
1972--hence, a double payment in 1973.
is
316,
Recreation - $26,500r Besides the salary increases, revenue and expenditures
were both un because of increased and expanded programs and the addition of nee:
programs. The City has an unofficial policy of, without unreasonable increases;.
allowing new programs to be started during the year as long as they are self-
supporting.
Museum - $250: This is a minimum budget with part-time personnel. 1-he increaM.
Is ue to tl:c extra amount personnel on Social Security are allowed to make
during the year.
Forestry - $9,700: It is difficult to purchase specimen trees in the spring of:
the year for in-nediate delivery. All good stock is purchased in the fall. The -xi
fore, we are making the purchase and expenditures in the 1975 budget for delive_q
ii1 1974. the cash paymant for this stock will be made in 1974. The expendituc::
in the 1974 budget for nursery steel- will be made in 1974 for delivery in 197S..
Grandview Cemetery - $7,000: The increase is clue to salary changes and increaser
in equipment renr.al.
Library - $1_9100o: Salary increases and item necessary for the planning of the:
nel/ liLrar✓ facilities are the causes of the additional expenditures.
Councilmall Bowling inqu.iredilito t�.he cash carry-over and suggested that in the
future, any transfers be approved by the City's auditor.
