Equipment Services -The overall equipment services budget remains consistent with prior years. Operating supplies increased and equipment parts decreased due to reclassification of the car and truck computer updates from equipment parts to operating supplies. Engineering -The engineering budget is consistent with last year. The personal service does still include the Engineering Tech I position to be filled. Justin has evaluated the type of work needed and would like to discuss changing the currently unfilled Engineering Tech I position to an Engineering Tech II. Operating supplies decreased and equipment repair/maint services increased due to proper classification of the annual service agreements for engineering. Surface Water Management Fund (requested The Surface Water Management is a capital project fund separate from the General Fund. It does have a tax levy allocation. There has been an increasing need to spend more time and efforts in the storm water area due to federal mandates with the City's NPDES permit. Due to anticipated increased maintenance costs associated with storm water infrastructure, the budget is anticipated to increase. As you can see by the cash flow spreadsheet attached we will need to address the long term funding of storm water management. Several cities have implemented a NPDES fee to cover the increased maintenance costs or increased the tax allocation. We will be doing additional research over the next year to make a recommendation on how this will be funded long-term. Fire Department ~equestedl: Fire Administration -Personal services (part-time) pay is based on 395 fire calls and the Duty officer program. We have included on the vacant/requested positions sheet the impacts if 450 calls are reached and Chief Cunningham would like to discuss a technical rescue team stipend. Operating supplies are increasing due to the replacement of pagers and firefighting gear. Travel, Conferences & Schools decreased due to grants for firefighter training. Equipment Repair & Maintenance line item is increasing for apparatus pump maintenance and EVT service and safety. Fire Inspections - No significant changes in this budget from 2011. Emergency Management -This budget has the capital outlay expense to continue radio board upgrades to meet FCC narrow banding mandate. This has been allocated over two years and 2012 will be the final budgeted expense for the project. Next Stens We will continue budget discussions on July 18 with the Community Development and Police budgets.
