STAFF REPORT
SUBJECT
Authorization from the Mayor and Council to amend the FY 1999-2000 Budget and appropriate
and transfer funds for the recently completed General Unit, Mid-Management, and
Management/Confidential negotiated salary increases.
BACKGROUND
Negotiations with the General Unit bargaining group, the Mid-Management bargaining group
and the Management/Confidential Employees Association were recently completed. In October
of 1999, Charter 186 salary increases for safety were approved by the Mayor and Council.
Combined, the total FY 1999-2000 cost to the General Fund for all of these salary increases is
$1,767,400. $1,667,400 was included in the FY 1999-2000 General Fund Non-Departmental
budget for these types of increases, which is $100,000 short of the $1,767,400 necessary to fund
the negotiated increases. Accordingly, a budget amendment appropriating $100,000 from the
General Fund balance is required.
Outlined below is a summary of the negotiated salary increases by bargaining group for FY
1999-2000:
Included in FY 1999-2000 Budget
$1,667,400
Police Management

$ 73,200
$ 755,100
$ 63,200
$ 486.800
Sub-total (safety only)
Budget remaining
($1.378.300)
$ 289,100
Budget remaining after safety $ 289,100
General Unit $ 245,400
Mid Management $ 61,800
Management Confidential $ 81.900
Sub-total (non-safety) ($ 389,100)
Difference-Additional Funds to be appropriated ($ 100.000)
(Note: All costs listed above are hard dollar costs only. These are the only negotiated items that
actually require increased budget allocations.)
FINANCIAL IMPACT
As outlined above, $1,667,400 was already included in the FY 1999-2000 budget for these items.
An additional $100,000 needs to be appropriated by the Mayor and Council to fund the
combined cost to the General Fund of $1,767,400. The recently completed negotiations with the
non-safety groups will also impact other funds (primarily Refuse and Sewer Funds) by
approximately $100,000; however at this time it appears that due to savings in other areas, these

funds can absorb these costs without increased appropriations. These funds will be re-evaluated
at Mid- Year to determine if further action is necessary.
RECOMMENDATION
That the Mayor and Council authorize the Director of Finance to amend the FY 1999-2000
Budget to 1.) appropriate $100,000 from the General Fund uuappropriatedlunreserved fund
balance for negotiated salary increases as outlined in the staff report, and 2.) transfer the funds
budgeted in the General Fund Non-Departmental budget to the various departmental budgets to
reflect the cost of the negotiated salary increases with the General Unit bargaining group, Mid-
Management bargaining group, and the Management Confidential Employees Association.
