Issue #1-Fire Staffing
$120,368
Additional General Fund Revenue
Three additional fire fighter FTE's were approved during the FY 95-96 budget process
to more fully staff the department. These three positions were needed to prevent closing
stations when full staffing was not possible due to absences, etc. These positions were only
funded for two months of the fiscal year, however, due to budget demand. It was anticipated
that savings accrued from carrying vacant positions would be able to cover more. A high level
of retirements, however, preempted this from happening, because the savings went to cover
those costs instead.
The Fire Department maintained a commitment to fully staff their fire fighting
personnel. As vacancies occurred, the Department incurred substantial overtime costs to
maintain staffing levels. Replacement personnel were hired and place in a three month
training process. During the training, staffing levels had to be maintained, which further
increased overtime costs. This overtime and the associated costs of training the new personnel
has left the department without funds to hire replacements for the current eleven vacancies.
This creates the same situation as occurred before the three additional positions were
added. As a strategy to reduce this exposure (particularly in the Northwest Quadrant) to the
City, it is proposed that the Fire Department budget be increased to hire these positions May
1. Funding for these positions would be from additional revenue they have generated from
payments made by the Airport for overtime of Airport Crash/Fire/Rescue personnel, additional
HazMat fees generated, and additional paramedic fee revenue generated. It is estimated that
an additional $96,000 will be generated.
The Airport has agreed, for FY 96-97, to fund three additional paramedic positions and
two additional ARFF training positions. The Department is requesting that these positions be
filled in the May 1, 1996 hiring process. Hiring and training requirements can delay the
service of new employees for three months or more from their hiring date. These new
employees would not then be available until January 1, 1997. Including these new hires in the
May 1 training class will make them available for service by August 1,1996. Beginning July
1, 1996 a new retirement window opens and the Department anticipates many additional
vacancies. The new positions , with the additional vacancies, only compound the
Department's staffing dilemma. Including these positions in the May 1st hiring will help
offset the vacancies that are anticipate in the July retirement window.
Revenue from the Airport will cover the estimated $32,995 cost for the remainder of
this fiscal year.

Available grant funds remained at the end of last fiscal year. These funds need to be
budgeted to allow for their expenditure. Revenue to cover these expenses will come from the
CCP grant.
Additionally, the revenue accounts for these grants need adjusted to include the amount
added as carryover encumbrances. The CCP grant will reimburse these accounts also.

Issue #3-Economic Development Projects Rebates

This amendment budgets $81,000 for contractual rebates of sales tax to the Hermes
Fred Meyer ($31,000) and the Sutherlands Building Supply ($50,000) economic development
projects. This payment covers the initial period which is approximately three months for
Hermes and five months for Sutherlands. We have not included the associated revenue amount
to be rebated from these projects in the current year budget appropriation and therefore will
increase the revenue budget to cover these payments.

Fund Balance -General Fund
This amendment appropriates $520,250 for the purchase and closing costs of the Clock
Sales and Repair property located at 200 East, 600 South. The appraised value of the property
is $520,000. It is recommended that the city council appropriate fund balance of the General
fund to make this purchase based on the rationale that we are exchanging cash assets for
property assets, which will remain valuable and will enhance the ownership of the other
property we currently hold in that area. The City has been acquiring property in this area as it
becomes available. As we land bank this property we give ourselves flexibility for establishing
some future need for space. While we resolve some issues and master plan the MHJ property,
ownership of this 6th South property gives us another dimension of flexibility in our work to
obtain a solution to providing services to the public.
We will lease the property to the seller for a minimum of one year at fair market value
rates, adding revenue to the City while resolution of our land holdings is worked out.
