ii <br />Schedule of Expenditure Variances for the <br />1997 Combined Fund Expenditure Report <br />As of September 30, 1997 <br />The variances noted below represent expenditures within departments or funds that are significantly <br />higher than projected. This includes those expenditures which are at least $500 and 5% higher than <br />anticipated. <br />(1) 'Professional Services' expenditures within the Central Services Department will exceed the <br />budgeted amount. This has resulted from the continuation of the permitting and licensing <br />software on the LOGIS system. The City is planning to leave this system in 1998. <br />(2) 'Personal Services' expenditures within the Planning & Zoning Department were higher than <br />anticipated. This resulted from the severance paid to Jeanne Mabusth, upon her retirement. <br />It is uncertain whether a budget adjustment will be needed to cover this expense. <br />(3) 'Supplies & Maintenance' expenditures in the Parks & Recreation Department are higher <br />than anticipated. This is due primarily from additional repairs needed at several parks. <br />(4) The expenditures for 'supplies & Maintenance' within the Recycling Department includes <br />the purchase of additional recycling bins. This item was not budgeted for, however it does <br />not appear that a budget adjustment will be necessary at this time. <br />(5) The Special Services-Consulting & Police Department has seen increased expenditures. This <br />has resulted from increased demand for police security detail and higher than normal <br />development activity. These additional expenditures are offset by added revenues. <br />(6) Park Fund expenditures are higher than what was originally budgeted. During the year, <br />additional projects were identified and approved by the Council. Budget adjustments will <br />be made at the end of the fiscal year. <br />(7) Improvement & Equipment Outlay Fund expenditures are higher than anticipated. During <br />the year, additional equipment expenditures were approved by the Council. Budget <br />adjustments will be made at the end of the fiscal year. <br />(8) 'Professional Services' within the Water Fund are higher than expected. This is due to the <br />additional engineering review for the water plant rehabilitation project. <br />(9) 'Professional Services' expenditures within the Golf Operating Department have exceeded <br />their budget. This was due to the use of legal assistance with the golf course land trade. <br />1
