Attached are the department-requested budget worksheets for those departments along with the proposed 2014 department/division goals. Let staff know if you would like more detail. Community Operations and Development Budgets (requested Engineering—The overall Engineering budget expenditures are consistent with last year. The only significant change is a reduction in Other Professional Services for miscellaneous surveys. The General Fund has revenue (engineering services reimbursement) which offsets approximately 60% of the time the City Engineer and Engineering Tech II work on projects. Planning—With the 2012 reorganization plan,the Deputy Director of Community Operations and Development was moved from the Planning Budget to the Community Operations and Development Budget thus creating the reduction in Personal Services. In addition, some of the supplies/training expenditures transferred as well. The Publishing line item is requested to increase to complete the Comprehensive Plan update and for subsequent revisions to the zoning ordinance that require codification. The preliminary budget again includes the planning intern position for 2014. One of the goals of the Planning Division is to work on a mining study in 2014. The expenditure is included on the capital outlay request summary sheet and would be proposed to be funded out of the Trunk Utility Fund. Community Operations and Development—The Personal Services budget increases due to the Deputy Director of Community Operations reallocation from the Planning Budget. Since the deputy and director positions have been recently filled they have reviewed and included training and telephone expenditures that we had no history on prior to the positions being filled.
