Other Services and Charges <br /> <br />As the new City Administrator was hired after the 1998 budget was adopted, the 1998 budget <br />does not incorporate the terms of his contract. These terms pertain to the payment of moving <br />expenses and additional training such as the National Conference for City Managers in Orlando, <br />Florida. <br /> <br />Due to a shortage of workspace in City Hall, the City has hired a consultant to determine its <br />space needs and presented a design of how the City could best fulfill this shortage. <br /> <br />These additional services and charges will result in an increase of $9,720. <br /> <br />Capital Outlay <br /> <br />With the hiring of a new Community Development Director, and a shortage of work space, a new <br />workstation has to be created for this new position. The new workstation will be located in the <br />small conference room in the upper level of City Hall. <br /> <br />A podium has been requested for Council Chambers to allow for better presentations. <br /> <br />With the year 2000 approaching quickly, the City's financial software has to be updated to make <br />it compatible. This software needs to be incorporated as soon as possible, by 1999, so that any <br />inconsistencies can be detected before the year 2000. <br /> <br />The entire capital outlay will result in an increase to the budget of $40,200. <br /> <br />Budget Amendment/Reallocation <br /> <br />The 1998 adopted budget has been reviewed to determine where there may be some flexibility in <br />reallocating budgeted resources to accommodate the budget amendments being requested. <br /> <br />When the budget was prepared, many of the above-mentioned items, with the exception of the <br />3% increase for salaries, were outside of the scope of the 1998 budget. In other words, these <br />additional items were not known at the time of the adoption of the 1998 budget. <br /> <br />Revenue Source <br /> <br />From the year ending 1997, $813,270.26 was transferred fi:om the General Fund. This transfer is <br />generally known as the Excess Revenue Policy Transfer and basically allocates year-end <br />revenues over expenditures to the Public Improvement Revolving Fund (50%), the Facilities <br />Construction Fund (40%) and the Equipment Revolving Fund (10%). Resolution 98-04-063 <br />authorized the excess revenue transfer on 4/14/98 (A copy of resolution is attached). It was <br /> <br /> <br />
