10 | Page <br />Public Works <br /> <br />Public Works is comprised of the Streets and Parks departments, which are funded through <br />the General Fund, as well as the Water, Sewer and Stormwater operations. These utility <br />services are accounted for in separate funds-collectively referred to as the “Utility Funds” <br />or “Enterprise Funds”- and will be discussed in a later section. <br />Personnel costs and many other expenses are allocated across the various Public Works <br />functions. While wages are budgeted using a standard allocation model, actual payroll is <br />based on the hours worked within each specific function. This can cause swings in <br />expenses year-to-year depending on snowfall and other factors, as well as a large variation <br />from Budget to Actual in any year. <br /> <br />Dept <br /># <br />Department <br />Name <br />2023 <br />Actual <br />2024 <br />Actual <br />2025 <br />Budget <br />2026 Budget % Change <br />3100 Streets 1,450,333 1,800,311 1,215,818 1,188,860 -2% <br />5200 Parks & <br />Recreation 412,051 496,013 687,513 949,173 38% <br />Less Vehicle & Equip <br />Transfers 92,981 93,786 <br />Less Street Maint <br />Transfer 600,000 <br /> Total Public <br />Works $1,769,403 $1,602,538 $1,903,331 $2,138,034 12% <br /> <br />As noted earlier, the Vehicle & Equipment Transfers and Street Maint. transfers are now <br />separate levies deposited directly into those capital funds and are shown in prior years to <br />illustrate the effect on that budget. <br />
