2015 MID-CYCLE BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS
GENERAL FUND:
Revenues:
• Jail Contract—reduce 2015 budget from $745,470 to$670,821 to match new five-year contract. The Jail
Contract has increased each year from $491,341 in 2011, $567,395 in 2012,$655,464 in 2013 and $670,821
thereafter
Expenditures:
• Public building maintenance contract: Add$45,000. RFP around Jan. 1 for mid-level maintenance, i.e. bigger
than janitorial but smaller than specialized technical work
• Planning Department—Planning and Zoning Commission training:Add$2,100 for commissioners to attend
the Alaska Planning Conference in Anchorage, registration and travel
• Boards and Commissions training:Add $4,500 in attorney and staff time for training sessions on Open
Meetings Act, Roberts Rules of Order, roles and responsibilities of persons acting in quasi-judicial capacities,
ex parte contact, etc.
• General Services—Affordable Care Act requires transitional reinsurance fee of$16,400. One-time contract
of$48,000 for"Your Clean Energy"grant opportunity allows City to hire a firm to assist the City in grant
readiness to establish heating district in pursuit of clean energy grant funding.
• Allocation of identifiable operating costs of City Hall Annex splits 50% Electric Utility and 50%General Fund.
No change to General Fund overall budget of$15,600. Increase in Electric budget of$10,000. Y-T-D
Actual costs through September, 2014 approx. $42K,with $15K being initial facility remodel costs.
• Engineering -- Project Manager wages beginning 09/22/14 allocated to SMIC rock project within SOA grant.
2014 funds budgeted before 9/22/14 are unexpended. 2015 will see those costs mostly going to the Lowell
Point Sewage Lagoon, SMIC breakwater project, and Electrical Warehouse project. Propose at this point a
33/33/33 split. Will result in salary/benefit savings in General Fund, Water Fund and Wastewater Fund, but
we will not amend the budget, but will expect a cost savings compared to budget. Increase operating costs
for project manager auto fuel, office supplies, software ($3,000). Will move PM costs out of General Fund
Streets and into General Fund Engineering to segregate; no net impact to General Fund budget.
• Animal Control to address training(add $600), travel (add $2,500)and operating costs(add$2,000)
• Community Development: add $25,000 Nuisance Abatement/Code compliance and enforcement
• Finance—add $2,000 added cost for travel/training for new Accufund system

• Fire—$35,000 to hire two temporary summer employees to get caught up on department projects(testing
fire hose,testing breathing apparatus tanks, etc.)
• Library—utilize salary savings from retirement to increase part-time hours; no net added cost

stabilization -engineering ($60K), DOT roads project matching funds(300K)
