Revisions to Current Projects $194,681 2. New Projects $313,000 3. Program Income $261,150 2 Issue #1 Occupational Health Clinic Insurance and Risk Administration Fund $51,000 The Occupational Health Clinic is doing more drug screens on behalf of City Departments; a result of the amended Federal Transportation Act -Omnibus mandate. Additionally, vaccinations for Hepatitis "B" and "A" have been given to employees who have requested them. The Clinic charges for these services, but because neither of them was anticipated when the budget was developed in 1996, there is not sufficient budget to cover the expenses of the medical supplies and related fees and charges. This budget amendment will appropriate $51,000 of additional revenue which has either been collected or is expected to be collected, and will likewise appropriate $51,000 of expenditures associated with the program. The adjustment necessary to amend the budget is as follows: Fund Department/Category Decrease Increase Insurance and Occupational Health Clinic/Charges for Risk Services Revenue $51,000 (R) Administration Occupational Health Clinic/Medical and Fund Other Charges, Fees and Services $51,000 (E) Total Insurance and Risk Administration Fund $51,000 (R) $51,000 (E) Issue #2 Public Utilities Water Utility Fund $2,635,000 The Public Utilities Department requests their budget be amended by $2,635,000 for the following changes. (1) Funding for studies, expert witnesses and legal fees necessary for defending the city's water rights in current and pending litigation. (2) Funding for painting and seismic stabilization of Upper Canyon Cove and Ferguson Tanks. (3) Funding for seismic upgrade and to upgrade the chemical feed at Big Cottonwood. (4) Funding for Information Management Services costs of modifying the new Public Utilities Billing System. The revenue necessary to cover these costs will come from Metered Sales $1,500,000, Interest Income $400,000 and Reserves $735,000. 3 The adjustment necessary to amend the budget is as follows: Fund Department/Category Decrease Increase Water Utility Metered Sales $1,500,000 (R) Fund Interest Income $400,000 (R) Fund Balance (not posted to system) $735,000 (FB) Utilities $315,000 (E) Data Processing $120,000 (E) Capital Improvements $2,200,000 (E) Total Water Utility Fund $1,900,000 (R) $735,000 (FB) $2,635,000 (E) Issue #3 Human Resource Information System (HRIS) General Fund Transfer $75,000 CIP Fund $100,000 In the summer of 1996 the City put together a project team to look at the Human Resource Information and Payroll systems. The specific goal of the team was to develop the system specifications needed for a human resource system that would allow the City to function in the 21 st century. The team looked at all of the processes that are involved in human resources, employee benefits, labor negotiations, payroll, personnel budgeting and recruitment procedures. Each of these systems has been linked to each other and to the same data base. The team has developed the specifications for the desired system. The City contracted with Coopers and Lybrand to be our consultant on this project. They have given us an idea on what a new system like this would cost if we put it out for bid. They gave us a low and high range with a percentage factor of the specifications. The results are as follows: Meeting 70% of the specifications $350,000 to $500,000 Meeting 90% of the specifications $500,000 to $1 million Early in the stages of development the team determined that if our current provider could match 50% of the total specifications we should stay with them. The team felt that the cost of modifying the current system would be much less expensive than buying a new system. Bi-Tech, the current provider, reviewed the specification list. We also had our IMS personnel familiar with the current 4 software review the specification list. Both of them came up with a 60% to 65% match. The team feels that it is very important to have a 90% to 95% match of the specifications to have a system that will meet the goal of handling City business in the 21' century. Bi-Tech has been contacted about making the necessary modifications to their system to achieve this 90%to 95% goal.. Bi-Tech is excited about entering into a partnership with the City to develop a new system. In order to maximize the use of funds it was recommended to find surplus in the current budget and reprogram it rather than to appropriate new funds in the next budget year. Therefore, it is requested that funding of $100,000 for the development of this new system with Bi-Tech be appropriated. This request is for $75,000 from the General Fund and $25,000 from the Enterprise and Internal Service Funds. The General Fund currently has a budgeted surplus of $75,000 in the Future Commission appropriation. In the FY 1996-97 budget we budgeted, as part of the $225,000 fund balance appropriation for the Futures Commission, $75,000 for the salary and support costs of the Futures Commission Coordinator. We discovered that we had also amended for year end carryovers a budget for the salary, etc. because we had entered into an agreement with the employee prior to the end of the fiscal year ending June 30, 1996. This action double budgeted this portion of the Futures Commission total budget. This budget will not be spent twice and could lapse at year end. Instead of allowing the budget to lapse, it is requested that we transfer the appropriation to the CIP Financial System Maintenance Fund and allow the development of the new human resource information and payroll system. The additional $25,000 would be collected from the enterprise and internal service funds. The adjustment necessary to amend the budget is as follows: Fund Department/Category Decrease Increase General Fund Non Departmental/Futures Commission $75,000 (E) Non Departmental/Transfer to CIP Fund $75,000 (E) CIP Fund CIP/Transfer from General Fund $75,000 (R) CIP/Other Revenue $25,000 (R) CIP/IFAS System Maintenance Project $100,000 (E) Total General Fund $75,000 (E) $75,000 (E) CIP Fund $100,000 (R) $100,000 (E) 5 Issue #4 Early Retirement Incentive Program General Fund Transfer $1,200,000 Insurance and Risk Administration Fund $1,200,000 It is requested to establish an appropriation of $1,200,000 in the Insurance and Risk Administration Fund. This yearly request is made at this time in order to take advantage of any remaining budget balances at year end and pay early retirement benefits out of the current fiscal year instead of forcing departments next year to hold necessary positions unfilled until the costs are covered. Funding will come from savings from departments as they recognize it. No funding will be brought from current fund balance to cover these projected expenditures. The adjustment necessary to amend the budget is as follows: Fund Department/Category Decrease Increase General Fund Non Departmental/Transfer to Insurance and Risk Administration Fund $1,200,000 (E) Insurance and Transfer from General Fund $1,200,000 (R) Risk Early Retirement Incentive Pay $1,200,000 (E) Administration Fund Total General Fund $1,200,000 (E) Insurance and Risk Administration $1,200,000 (R) Fund $1,200,000 (E) Issue #5 Refuse Fund Refuse Fund $192,000 Though data seemed to indicate the need for a refuse fee increase for FY 1996-97, it was maintained at the $8 per container rate until more information was known about two funding sources. The biggest unknown was the effect of the curbside recycling program. This was the first full year of the new curbside recycling program and it was uncertain how many residents would sign up, how much recyclable material would be collected and how much profit from recyclable material could be expected. The other unknown was whether an increase in the owner's dividend at the Landfill would be made to help offset some of the Refuse 6 Fund costs. Answers to both of these issues were included in the Five -Year Refuse Business Plan that was presented to the Council in February. Fee increases are also included in the Mayor's Recommended budget for FY 1997-98. This budget amendment request is to appropriate $192,000 of Fund Balance to cover additional waste disposal costs of $142,000 and additional fleet maintenance and fuel costs of $50,000. Tonnage taken to the landfill was expected to decline due to the recycling program. Though, tonnage was diverted from the Landfill because of the recycling program, it has not decreased as initially projected. In fact, tonnage has increased in the neighborhood cleanup program. Because of an aging fleet, repair and maintenance costs have also increased. A revised fleet replacement program in the proposed budget for FY 1997-98 will reduce these maintenance and repair costs. The adjustment necessary to amend the budget is as follows: Fund Department/Category Decrease Increase Refuse Fund Waste Disposal $142,000 (E) Fleet Maintenance $50,000 (E) Fund Balance (not posted to IFAS) $192,000 (FB) Total Refuse Fund $192,000 (E) $192,000 (FB) Issue #6 Police Department Items General Fund $52,000 Asset Forfeiture Fund $118,000 The Police Department will, under certain circumstances, assign police officers to work security for non city entities. When this occurs, the entity will reimburse the department for the costs of the officer. The department has received $30,000 of this type of revenue and requests that it be appropriated to their overtime account to cover the expenses incurred. The department receives funds into an asset forfeiture account resulting from property seized during enforcement of certain illegal activities. Funds from this account may be used for anti drug efforts, etc. The department is requesting that $118,000 of the Asset Forfeiture Fund be transferred to the General Fund to provide $6,000 of supplies associated with the departments sponsorship of our Scout Explorer Post. This Post is part of the departments efforts toward youth drug diversion. Additionally, they are requesting to have $112,000 appropriated to the SWAT unit for overtime they have incurred in assisting with serving narcotic search warrants and other drug enforcement efforts in the downtown areas adjacent to Pioneer Park. The department has sold a surplus ammunition loader and miscellaneous unclaimed property from the evidence room for $22,000. They are requesting these funds be appropriated to enhance the departments training efforts by $5,000 and to purchase a computer and software for the bar coding inventory system of the new records management system. The purpose of this system is to allow evidence room personnel to accurately track and age inventory thus improving the amount of evidence needed to be kept and monitored. The adjustment necessary to amend the budget is as follows: Fund Department/Category Decrease Increase General Fund Police Revenue $52,000 (R) Transfer from Asset Forfeiture Fund $118,000 (R) Police Overtime $142,000 (E) Asset Police Operating Supplies and Equipment $28,000 (E) Forfeiture Transfer to the General Fund $118,000 (E) Fund Revenue $118,000(R) Total General Fund $170,000 (R) $170,000 (E) Asset Forfeiture Fund $170,000,(R) $170,000 (E) 8 KATHY RICCI DIRECTOR May 12, 1997 wow 921le Pal COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CAPITAL PLANNING AND PROGRAMMING To: Steve Fawcett From: Kathy Ricci Re: June 1997 Budget Opening # 8 DEEDEE CORRADINI MAYOR Recommendation: That you transmit the recommended budget amendments to the Mayor and Salt Lake City Council for their consideration at the June 1997 Budget Opening.
