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 Police Fire Management Fire $ 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 1 III . . .. 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. 2
