Number: 2A

Prepared by:
Jodi Bursheim, Finance Manager
Item: 2019 Budget Follow Up (Meeting 2)
The City Council met in a Study Session on August 21 and completed a preliminary review of the proposed 2019 Budget.
At that meeting, staff presented a budget that maintained City services, adjusted for growth where necessary, and was
balanced with a 5.5% General property tax levy increase in 2019. Council requested additional information in certain
areas which this memo provides.
Allocations: A summary of allocations is attached (Attachment 1). Generally, allocations are calculated based on factors
that are specific to the allocating fund. As mentioned in the previous budget meeting, allocation methodologies are
being revisited to determine if the calculations are maintaining adequate fund levels and are appropriately allocated to
each area. Staff plans to bring forward adjusted allocations in the next biennial budget process (2020-2021).
- Allocations for Information Technology are driven by various categories such as telephone, mobile phones,
copiers, printers, and computers. Department specific software and hardware are allocated based on the
benefiting department. All departments receive an allocation for the overall overhead cost. Generally,
departments experiencing large increases in this allocation are adding software, hardware, or staff.
- Allocations for Facilities Management are generally divided by square footage. These allocations are designed to
cover building operations and generally any unexpended funds are swept into the Facilities Fund – which is
available to cover larger capital repairs. Staff has begun tracking expense by each building to further refine the
allocation methodology in the future.
- Allocations for General Fund Administrative are charged to enterprise funds and the transit fund for support
from City Administration and Administrative Services. Generally, funds that do not receive levy support. The
2017 budget was the first time we used administrative allocations for the General Fund to recoup cost. Prior to
this adjustment, portions of personnel expense were directly charged to enterprise operations – which made
tracking and employee reporting unclear and cumbersome. Additionally, recurring transfers were made to
recover costs. The administration allocation process attempts to streamline this process, however, the
methodology will be refined in the future.
- Allocations for Central Equipment (fleet) are for all equipment, regardless of funding source. Departments make
the initial purchase with their specific budgets and then the department pays a portion of the replacement cost
into the Central Equipment fund, based on useful life. The total allocation includes this replacement ratio and an
overhead cost to support the division.
- Allocations for Risk Management (OH and Premium) are charged for overhead and insurance premiums charged
to the City based on number of employees, specific equipment, or property assigned to each area.
- Allocations for Risk Management (Claims) are charged back to each department for specific claim loss incurred.
Fund Descriptions and cash balances: A summary of all funds, a brief description of its purpose, and cash balances are
attached. (Attachment 2).
Resource Planning Fund: A report is attached (Attachment 3) detailing each designation within this fund.
Page 1
FTE Report: A report detailing staffing levels is attached (Attachment 4).
Risk Management: At Tuesday’s budget meeting, there was discussion regarding whether the budgeted amounts for
auto physical damage were for claims or deductibles. It has been confirmed that the budgeted amounts related to
general liability, property and auto physical damage are for deductibles. The budget reflects $310,000 for these line
items. In reviewing the aggregate deductibles for these lines of coverage, which is a total of $260,000, the budget can
be reduced by $50,000 to reflect this maximum amount.
Staff was also asked where our auto physical damage/collision claims are generated. So far in 2018, we have had 34
auto physical damage claims. The majority of those claims were generated in the Police and Public Works Departments.
Eighty-five percent of all 2018 auto physical damage claims were $3,000 or less. Of the remaining claims, four will reach
the $20,000 per occurrence deductible, which means we will reach our $60,000 aggregate deductible. Also, we are
seeking reimbursement for one of the claims. Additional detail will be provided in the 2018 year-end claims report or
upon request.
Transit: Council inquired if the current revenue trend shows that we will be close to what is reflected in the budget.
Current trends show that revenue will be within 95% of the budgeted $1.2 million fare revenue.
