Re: 2011 Budget Amendment #2
Attached is Budget Amendment #2 for your review. Schedule A summarizes, by fund, proposed changes to
the City's amended 2011 Budget, inclusive of changes authorized from Budget Amendment #1 (as approved
by Ordinance No. 6351). Council's approval of this amendment to the 2011 budget would have the following
effects:
❖ Carryforward of encumbered resources from 2010 to 2011: Spending authority is granted in 2011
for project activities authorized in 2010 but not yet completed. Commensurate funding carried forward to
support these activities include unspent beginning fund balances, federal/state grants, interfund
transfers, and other sources of revenue. A complete list of the projects authorized for carry-forward from
2010 to 2011 is included as Schedule B.
❖ 2011 Non-paid furlough policy budget adjustment: 2011 budgeted salaries and benefits are
adjusted to reflect continuation of the City's non-paid furlough policy started in 2010.
As you are aware, in December 2009 due to weakness in the City's financial condition, the City
implemented a policy of reducing salaries and benefits equal to 40 hours of unpaid leave (non-paid
furlough). These reductions were negotiated with Teamsters Local Union #117 (outside Teamsters) and
applied to non-affiliated employees and covered calendar year 2010. Subsequent discussions and
agreements extended the non-paid furlough policy to calendar years 2011 and 2012.
In addition, separate agreements with the Police commanders, Police non-commissioned employees
and inside City Teamsters collective bargaining units were also reached in 2010 whereby a percentage
of their pay and/or the City's VEBA contribution were offered in lieu of the non-paid furlough policy. The
same was also applied to the Mayor, Council, and non-affiliated NAC employees, except the municipal
judge. Similar agreements were reached for 2011 and 2012 with the Police commanders, Police non-
commissioned employees, and inside City Teamsters collective bargaining units. In 2011, the Mayor,
Council, and non-affiliated NAC employees, except the municipal judge, continue the 2010 plan.
This budget adjustment amends the 2011 adopted budget consistent with the negotiated agreements
summarized above. The 2012 adopted budget will be amended during the fourth quarter of 2011.
