Funding Transfer
The Department enjoys a very favorable position in that there remains a
significant amount of funding in the Full-time Personnel category in our 1997 Budget..
This is due to a combination of factors which include ( 1 ) not compensating all employees
at the maximum level of their pay category; (2) the hire-lag created due to the lack of a
Computer Aided Design employee for eight months of the current year; and (3) the offset
of $10,000 in the salary of the Urban Forestry position through grant money from DNR.
As you will recall, during the 1998 Budget hearings, I expressed a need for
additional funding in 1998 to enable the Department to purchase a new vehicle, to better
equip the new inspector. An amount of $10,000 was allowed in the budget for that
purpose. Due to the availability of funds in our current year budget, I am requesting
transfer approval of $25,000 from Acct. #100 to line items ~t4550-01 ($20,000) and #640
($5,000). My goals in accomplishing this are as follows:
#650-01 - Purpose is to allow the department to purchase the new vehicle with
1997 funds, thus allowing the $10,000 in the 1998 Budget to be used to replace a
10-year old S-10 Chevrolet pickup which has 83,000 accumulated miles.
My overall goal announced at the 1998 Budget Hearings has not changed.
My net gain in vehicles still remains one additional. My effort herein is to
maximize my capability through prudent use of current year unencumbered funds,
as well as updating the fleet of vehicles. In the end we will have five vehicles.
These include one for each Inspector, one for use in the Urban Forestry effort, and
one for Code Enforcement and Building Commissioner responsibilities.
8~540 - Purpose is to place $5,000 in the Capital Outlay area of my budget to
facilitate its use in expanding further the computer operations in the Department.
Our just completed project can be further enhanced through the purchase of one
additional computer for client use at the counter of the Permits Office, a scanner,
and a printer. Also, due to the conversion of information to the new sofi~vare and
increases in data storage, there is a need to provide more memory cards within our
servers.
Thank you for your consideration.
