Body
Issue/Request:
An Ordinance approving Amendment No. 7 to the budget for the Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2019, as adopted by Ordinance No. 8405, by revising the Authorized Expenditures to Projected Year End Amounts for the City of Lee's Summit.
Key Issues:
In conjunction with the year end projection process, the accompanying amendment has been prepared to authorize additional expenditures. For the General Fund, the major changes include the following:
- Personnel Services: It is expected that collective bargaining negotiations will end soon. As part of the negotiations wage, increases have been tentatively identified for each of the bargaining units. The FY19 projection includes the additional expense which is tentatively planned to start in March.
- Other Services, Supplies, and Charges: Additional maintenance costs for sidewalks and stormwater infrastructure have occured. To date, staff anticipates being able to complete an additional $46,000 of maintenance work. Funding has also been included for closed captioning service at a cost of $18,000 and continued court security at a cost of $30,000. A large portion of the increase can be attributed to an increase in bad debt (uncollected ambulance fees) and unbudgeted development reimbursement expenses ($355,000) that should have been included in the original adopted budget.
The following outlines the major changes for other City funds:
F200 Parks and Recreation
Total expenditures for the Parks and Recreation Fund are $649,604 over budget due to a transfer of $650,000 from Fund 200 reserves to Fund 327 to be used for renovations of the Longview Community Center. The Parks and Recreation Board approved the transfer at a special meeting held on August 15, 2018.
F202 Legacy Park Community Center
Total expenditures for the Legacy Park Community Center Fund are $190,551 over budget due to a transfer of $200,000 from Fund 202 reserves to Fund 327 to be used for renovations of the Longview Community Center. The Parks and Recreation Board approved the transfer at a special meeting held on August 15, 2018.
Fund 203 Aquatics Center
Total expenditures for the Aquatics Center (Summit Waves) are $19,138 over budget due to variances in part-time staffing costs and repair and maintenance-buildings. The variance in part-time staffing costs is related to the increase in minimum wage beginning January 1, 2019. Unanticipated expenditures for painting, a replacement garage door motor, and stair tape also contributed to the variance. The Parks and Recreation Board approved a revised LSPR Part-time Pay Plan at the December 5, 2018 meeting.
F204 Cemetery Trust Fund
Total expenditures for the Cemetery Trust are $748 over budget due to additional personnel costs related to the implementation of the Compensation Study. The Parks and Recreation Board approved the LSPR Compensation and Classification Plan at the December 5, 2018 meeting.
F220 Business and Industry Fund
During FY19, the City Council approved a public service agreement (PSA) with Velocity LS that included funding in the amount of $75,000. This has been included in the amendment to update the authorized expenditures following that action.
F520 Solid Waste Management
The City has incurred additional expenses as part of the transition from landfill operations to a private operator.
