RE: Approve Amendment to 2021 Operations Budget – Fire Department for Unanticipated
Expenditures
BACKGROUND
Attached is a resolution to approve an Amendment to 2021 Operations Budget to provide funding for
Unanticipated Fire Department Expenditures. The 2021 Fire Department Operations Budget included an
amendment to hire three additional Firefighters. This hire did not occur.
Therefore, the appropriation for Account Number 01000230-6102 has an appropriation of an extra $250,000. In
addition, other positions have not been filled, creating a total of $500,000 within this account which will not be
spent.
The Fire Department is requesting that $325,000 be taken out of this surplus to cover a short fall in the Overtime
line item which is anticipated to be $250,000 over budget by the end of the year; $15,000 for motor vehicle
repairs, and $60,000 which they anticipate being over budget in supplies and repair parts .
ANALYSIS
Since this amendment is taking funds from the Regular Pay account and transferring amounts to three other
accounts, a budget amendment requires Council action.
FISCAL IMPACT
The requested amendment is all within the Fire Department Budget. No other departments are impacted. This
amendment will reduce the Fire Department Regular Pay account (A/N# 01000230-6102) by $325,000. It will add
appropriations to Fire Department Overtime account (A/N# 01000230-6104) $250,000, the Repairs to Motor
Vehicles account (A/N# 01000230-6418) $15,000, and the Supplies, Repairs Parts account (A/N# 01000230-6517)
$60,000.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council approve the attached Resolution.
Respectfully Submitted, Approved:
