Mayor and Council Communication
COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 2/10/2015 - Ordinance No. 21633-02-2015
DATE: Tuesday, February 10, 2015 REFERENCE NO.: **G-18410
LOG NAME: 13131 PERCENTADJUST
SUBJECT:
Adopt Ordinance Amending Fiscal Year 2015 Budget to Adjust Department Appropriations and Use of
Fund Balance and Net Position to Reflect Actual Costs of Implementing Salary Adjustments Resulting in a
Cumulative Net Reduction in the Amount of$345,454.00 to the Total City Budget (ALL COUNCIL
DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached ordinance amending the Fiscal Year 2015
budget to adjust appropriations and use of fund balance/net position in the following funds in the noted
amounts to reflect the actual costs of implementing salary adjustments: reduce the General Fund by
$268,639.00, reduce the Capital Projects Service Fund by $73,513.00, increase the Culture and Tourism
Fund by $32,876.00, increase the Environmental Protection Fund by $22,133.00, reduce the Equipment
Services Fund by $14,706.00, increase the Information Systems Fund by $6,173.00, reduce the Municipal
Airports Fund by $13,584.00, reduce the Red Light Enforcement Fund by $14,814.00, increase the Risk
Management Fund by $7,372.00 and reduce the Stormwater Utility Fund by $28,752.00.
DISCUSSION:
Departments' Fiscal Year (FY) 2015 salaries budget included a 5 percent increase to fund general
employee pay raises with 4 percent allocated to fund an across-the-board increase and the remaining 1
percent allocated to fund compensation adjustments for certain identified positions that were significantly
below market.
The Human Resources Department has worked with departments to identify those positions, and the
compensation adjustments have been finalized. Although the actual cost of implementing the salary
adjustments for the City as a whole was less than the total 1 percent amount that was appropriated,
individual departments either had excess or insufficient appropriation. Therefore, the Budget Office is
recommending adjustments to departmental budgets and use of fund balance/net position, as necessary,
to reflect the actual appropriation needed to accommodate the salary adjustments.
Upon approval of this Mayor & Council Communication (M&C), the Budget Office will adjust appropriations
so that each department's revised salary budgets equal the actual amount needed. In cases where
current appropriations are less than the actual salary increases, it is recommended that the appropriations
be increased through use of fund balance/net position. In cases where the current budgeted amount is
more than the actual salary increases, it is proposed that the appropriations be reduced and savings be
deposited to fund balance/net position of the affected fund.
Based on an assessment of the impacts of implementing the salary adjustments, Staff recommends the
following adjustments with specific funds, departments and amounts as outlined below:

NOTE: All amounts in this M&C have been rounded to the nearest dollar for presentation purposes, which
may result in slight mathematical variations. The amount listed as the total for each fund is what is being
appropriated in the attached ordinance.
The cumulative impact of all of the listed adjustments is a net reduction of $345,454.00 to the total City
budget for all funds. Although the actual cost of implementing salary adjustments for individuals who are
paid out of the Crime Control and Prevention District Fund was $16,004.00 more than the 1 percent
appropriation, staff anticipates that cost can be absorbed into existing appropriations, and no adjustment
to that Fund is being recommended at this time.
To implement industry best practices for funds management, the above budget adjustments are being
implemented mid-year in FY 2015.
FISCAL INFORMATION /CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations
and adoption of the attached ordinance, funds will be available in the current budgets, as appropriated, of
the General Fund, the Culture and Tourism Fund, the Risk Management Fund, the Information Systems
Fund, the Environmental Protection Fund, the Municipal Airports Fund, the Stormwater Utility Fund, the
Capital Projects Service Fund, the Equipment Services Fund and the Red Light Enforcement Fund.
Upon approval of this Mayor and Council Communication, all funds listed above will meet the minimum
reserve requirements, as outlined in the Financial Management Policy Statements, except for the
Equipment Service Fund, which is an Internal Service Fund and does not currently have a reserve
requirement.
