Community Development Budgets (requested): The environmental staff positions are allocated as follows for the 2013 budget. Staff allocation is updated every year like all other staff allocations based on actual and projected time. Rebecca will be at the meeting to review the following budgets. Einvironmental Admin. Environmental Tech. Environmental Budget 20% 38% Energy City Budget 15% 8% Landfill Budget 25% 10% Garbage Budget 25% 34% Storm Water Budget 15% 10% Total 100% = 100% Environmental—Personal Services increased slightly for more staff time spent on environmental activities. Operating Supplies increased for a computer replacement. Energy City—Personal Services allocation decreased due to less staff time anticipated on Energy City due to changes in the expo event. Project Conserve costs were moved from Professional Services to the Operating Supplies line item as that more directly correlates to the costs. Travel, Conferences and Schools decreased due to the expo also. Garbage—The Garbage Fund is an enterprise fund of the city and as the Council was looking at the hauler contracts we discussed a forecast of the fund over the next several years. No rate increase is recommended for the 2013 budget.The Garbage Fund has historically ran the clean-up day expenses with a transfer coming from the Landfill Fund to balance the event. To eliminate the need for the transfer we are proposing to run the clean-up day event out of the Landfill Fund. Grant revenue is down since we have moved the clean-up day grant from the county into the Landfill Fund and we no longer get the organics grant. Expenditures remain consistent with 2012 and the actual contractual services are updated yearly based on customer container choices and new customers. I have included a one page summary of the Garbage Budget for 2013. Landfill Abatement Fund—The Landfill Abatement Fund is a Special Revenue Fund. The fund is restricted for landfill abatement and other mitigation programs and administration. As mentioned in the Garbage Fund above, the clean-up day event will be run out of this fund,which is the reason you see revenues other than interest earnings. The transfers out are no longer budgeted for clean-up day. Storm Water—The Storm Water Budget is prepared at this time using the same tax levy as 2012. Community Development—The budget continues to include the senior administrative assistant position that provides support to all the community development departments. In addition, the remaining balance from the Council Contingency for personnel has been reallocated here for the director and deputy positions.
