Becker, Chief Financial Officer DATE: February 13, 2015 SUBJECT: Appropriation Authority for Employee Compensation Adjustments RECOMMENDATION: The Mayor's recommendation is for the City Council to appropriate funds to provide for the compensation package outlined above. DISCUSSION: As discussed during the 2015 Budget process, the Mayor is recommending a compensation package to the City Council based on the fiscal results of 2014 operations. The operating results from the fourth quarter of 2014 have been forecasted to be a net operating surplus of approximately $1.7 million in the General Fund. This is after adjusting for reserve transfers for the purchase of Mount Kessler and the parking deck. This surplus was achieved primarily through expense control. The Administration was able, through good management, to hold expenditures under budget. Revenue was approximately as projected on an overall basis. Other operating funds such as the Street, Parks Development, Water & Sewer and Recycling & Trash Collection funds have the capacity to afford these salary increases. Mailing Address: 113 W.
