C <br />!" <br />!I <br />T0: Mayor 6 Council <br />FROM: Finance Director -Treasurer Brager { <br />DATE: October 1, 1986 <br />RE: AMENDMENT OF THE 1987 BUDGET DUE, TO RECENT NEGOTIATION <br />OF THE 1987 FIRE PROTECTION SERVICE CONTRACT <br />Costs of fire protection services included in t•he 1987 Budget <br />of $115,000 were based upon an estimated increase in costs of <br />8.4% over revised 1986 costs of $106,117. The addition of a <br />new position, an administrative assistant, increased the <br />City's 1987 costs an additional $7,701 over the amount <br />budgeted bringing our total costs to $122,701. <br />Staff proposes appropriating $7,701 of the Fund Balance of the <br />City's General Fund to finance additional. costs of fire <br />protection services. The 1986 Administration Budget contained <br />$5,000 in Account 100-120-4990 Transfers, which was intended <br />to be used as a local match for an energy conservation grant. <br />The grant was not obtainea. Those monies could be carried <br />into 1987 and used to offset increased costs of fire <br />protection services. Ramsey County Court Fines as of August <br />1986 were at 95.7% of budget. It is estimated that this <br />account will be approximately $23,602 over budget at year <br />end. The additional $2,701 needed for 1987 fire protection <br />services could come from this account and be carried into <br />1987. <br />RECOMMENDATION: Council appropriate $7,701 of the Fund <br />Balance of the General Fund to the 1987 General Fund Budget to <br />be used for additional costs of 1987 fire protection services. <br />DB/ds <br />
