<br />Total Public Safety is budgeted to decrease slightly in the General Fund, largely due to moving the Vehicle
<br />Transfers into a separate levy outside the General Fund. If we include the Fire & Building share of the
<br />vehicle levy, this division would have a 4.2% increase.

<br />The City of Lake Elmo contracts with the Washington County Sheriff for police services. The number of
<br />contracted officers is not changing. See attached Sheriff’s letter for more information.
<br />
<br />The Fire Department will decrease slightly due to the vehicle transfer methodology change (more info
<br />below). Their wages are expected to increase due to additional Paid-on-Call hours. Fire Relief moved to
<br />the Statewide Volunteer Fire Plan for their retirement, so that department (2250) will remain zero from now
<br />on.
<br />
<br />Building Inspections was able to decrease due largely to combining two positions into one.

<br />(603) Public Works is comprised of the
<br />Streets and Parks departments under
<br />the General Fund, and the Water,
<br />Sewer and Stormwater
<br />“departments”. Water, sewer and
<br />stormwater are accounted in separate
<br />Funds, collectively known as the
<br />“Utility Funds” or “Enterprise
<br />Funds”. Staff time, and many
<br />expenses, are allocated across those
<br />functions. The table below outlines
<br />how personnel expenses within the
<br />Public Works division are allocated.
<br />
<br />Some additional wages from other
<br />departments are also allocated to the
<br />Utility Funds, as those funds benefit
<br />from work done across the
<br />organization.
