The Fire budget amendment is mainly to reallocate $20,000 to the General Fund <br />Special Projects/Contingency account, so that this amount can be transferred to <br />the fire truck reserve in the Improvement & Equipment Outlay Fund. The Fire <br />budget amendment also includes an increase to reflect higher than anticipated <br />charges for the Maple Plain service area. As the amount billed for 1993 is <br />greater than the 1994 original budget amount, vve teel it is necessary to <br />compensate for the anticipated short fall in the 1994 budget. <br />The Emergency Preparedness department budget adjustment is for electrical <br />repairs on a warning siren which were not covered by a maintenance contract. <br />The Engineering department budget adjustment is for higher than normal <br />consultant costs due to such items as the O.B.A. ball tields, sewer hot spots <br />analysis, the Fox Street project, etc. <br />The Parks and Recreation department should have a reallocation of the Temporary <br />Employee Wages account to the Maintenance of Buildings and Grounds account, <br />as the City contracted with an outside maintenance company for the 1994 summer <br />season in lieu of hiring temporary summer help. In addition the expenditures for <br />parks maintenance supplies were greater than anticipated. <br />The Special Services/Police and Consultants department increase is for higher <br />than anticipated use of patrol officers at area restaurants and other special events. <br />The increase for the consultants is for higher than anticipated legal and <br />engineering services related to land use application. The additional amounts for <br />these services do no "cost" the City as they are recovered through billing the <br />various users of the police officers or the land use applicants. <br />The Recycling budget is being reduced by $4,844 to fund part of the budget <br />amendments. This still leaves the Recycling department $14,0C« under budget, <br />primarily due to the reduction in the city clean up program during 1994. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED; <br />Approval of, and authorization to implement, the 1994 budget amendments*as listed <br />PROPOSED MOTION: Moved by_, seconded by_, to approve the implementation of the <br />1994 budget amendments, as noted.
