RECOMMENDATION:
I -It is recommended that the City Council:
2
1) Adopt the attached Supplemental Appropriation Ordinance thereby increas-
ing appropriations in Unemployment Compensation Insurance Fund FE86,
Center No. 0158610, Risk Management Department, by $325,000, and decreas-
ing unreserved, undesignated Fund balance by the same amount; and
2) Approve the transfer of $325,000 from Unemployment Compensation
Insurance Fund FE86, Center No. 0158610, to Workers' Compensation
Insurance Fund FE73, Center No. 0157310, for workers' compensation
claims and expenses thereby increasing appropriations and estimated
receipts by the same amount.
DISCUSSION:
The Fiscal Year 1989-90 Budget included $5,812,200 for workers' compensation
claims and expenses. The City historically budgets only for those claims
expected to be paid during the budget year under consideration. An individual
claim for Workers' Compensation may take from two to eight years before claim
settlement or completion is reached.
However, this year the City has cleared some major claims earlier than antici-
pated; and, due to the severity of the claims and expenses, as compared to the
same time frame last fiscal year, additional money is needed for the remainder
of this fiscal year.
Annually, the City's Operating Funds contribute to the City's Insurance Funds
for each fiscal year. If total expenses for any given fiscal year are less
than the total revenues collected, the remaining balance reverts to the unre-
served, undesignated fund balance. The Workers' Compensation Insurance Fund
FE73 does not have any retained earnings available to cover the increased
expenses incurred during Fiscal Year 1989-90.
Staff recommends the use of retained earnings from Unemployment Compensation
Insurance Fund FE86 because the fund balance of the Fund FE86 represents
excess monies received proportionately from the various operating funds.
These funds have accumulated due to the City's successful program of outplace-
ment and successful defense against unwarranted unemployment compensation
claims.
