<br /> Contracted services - 8% of expenditures, overall increase $108,369 <br /> Salo Park maintenance costs shifted from HRA Fund to General Fund – $36,000 <br /> Janitorial services transferred from the Community Center Fund to General <br />Fund, no increase in the actual cost of services from 2016 to 2017 services – <br />$42,936 <br /> IT contracted services up – $25,408 <br /> <br /> Other Insurance costs – 4% of expenditures, overall costs up $12,017 or 4.94% <br /> Property, casualty and liability costs declined 11% <br /> Worker’s compensation costs increased 26% <br /> <br /> Pass through costs - 4% of expenditures, costs down $44,114 or 13.63%, in turn <br />revenues down equal amount <br /> Lower gasoline costs / Lower gasoline reimbursements <br /> <br /> Remaining budget line items - 12% of expenditures, net costs down $20,136 or 2.16% <br /> <br /> Revenues reductions substantially due to tax increment collections and fund transfers <br />combined for $44,780 <br /> <br /> <br />The HRA Budget and Levy contains cost drivers similar to the general fund. Conversely this <br />fund does not have the same resources and transfers available in order to offset cost drivers. <br />Therefore the proposed Levy increase for the HRA is 12.58% or $17,630, substantially the <br />maximum levy allowed. This levied amount will allow the Fund to reduce its negative cash <br />position. <br /> <br /> <br />The 2017 Debt Related Levies are proposed to increase by $42,010 over the 2016 combined <br />levies. A debt levy reduction program (Peak to Plateau) began in 2014 to stabilize the annual <br />increase in levies created by the annual street reconstruction plan. Without the use of <br />resources committed to this program the impact of 2016 street bonds issued along with <br />existing debt service requirements would have required an additional 5.99% increase in the <br />overall Levy. <br /> <br /> <br />The 2017 Capital Improvement Fund Levy is proposed to increase by $152,210. The portion of <br />this increase related to the 2015 phase in plan to rebase liquor transfers is $77,210. The <br />additional $75,000 increase is to provide funding needed to replace daily operating equipment <br />as its useful life expires. <br /> <br /> <br />18
