The attached ordinance authorizes some interfund budget transfers to correct some expenditure appropriations in various City funds. Unexpended budget appropriations in the Light Fund are proposed to be transferred to the five funds outlined on the attachment. Briefly, the primary causes of overexpenditure were: 1. Allowance for 1978 salary and benefit increases was 7% while the CPI and actual contract settlements ranged from 9 to 10.1 %, the difference being unbudgeted. 2. A premium increase to Blue Cross medical plans in 1978 was not adjusted into the budget. 3. Expenditures for addition of unanticipated CETA Positions in 1978 were not budgeted (although most of these costs were offset by comparable revenue). 4. Retirement pay -off in the Equipment Rental Fund, unbudgeted. 5. Sewer Facilities Study, approved by Council was unbudgeted, but offset by revenue. Specific details for each fund affected are attached. Thank you. REO /dp :' 1978 BUDGET SURPLUS /OVEREXPENDITURES I. Light Fund: $664,000 in surplus due to unexpended appropriations for capital projects. II. Equipment Rental: $4,700 retirement pay-off for former superintendent was unbudgeted in 1977 when retirement took effect. Expenditure paid out of 1978 budget. III. Water Fund: $62,000, unanticipated outlay for inventory purchases from the Elwha Construction Fund; error in budget calculations for vehicle charges; transfer of meter installation crew salaries to the Water Fund was unbudgeted but offset by reimbursable funds. IV. Street Fund: $28,000, additional CETA positions were made available to the City, expenditures for salaries for these positions were unbud- geted. The expense, however, was mostly offset by CETA revenues. Balance of overage due to an error in budget calculations for vehicle rental. Difference in annual wage adjustment (i.e. 7% and 9 %) was not budgeted. V. Solid Waste: $1,750, primarily caused by an overrun of the Landfill Contract with Lloyd Carr. It should be noted that not all of this amount was recovered from landfill operation. Therefore, this budget overrun did result in additional charges against the Solid Waste Fund without reimbursement. IV. Sewer: The major item which threw the budget out of balance came in Professional Services. In past years, the City did not process the expenditures for grant supported work through its Sewer Utility Budget but rather only budgeted the City's matching share (10 %). In 1978, the entire amount (approximatedly $60,000) went through the Sewer Utility Budget. While this did result in an imbalance in the budget, the funds were totally reimbursed by the State and Federal government. Therefore, the overall cost to the Sewer Fund didn't increase. Another item which contributed to the budget overrun was the added cost of the Milwaukee Drive - "O" Street sewer line. The original estimate was $35,000, with the final cost being approximately $40,000. Lastly, the Sewer Fund also was affected by the 2% increase in salary expense over the 7% budgeted. • s 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 Section 6.
