SUMMARY EXPLANATION -
The Fire Department has two unbudgeted retirement cashouts associated with the 2006
retirements of Battalion Chief Richard Andring and Deputy Fire Marshal Lanny Bonsen
Public Safety Communications (PSC) also experienced the retirement of a long -term
supervisory employee. Note In accordance with the Yakima Municipal Code and /or union
contracts, separation from duty triggers a cashout of accumulated vacation and sick leave
accruals. These cashouts are negotiated benefits which have defined monetary limits/caps.
Both Fire Department retirements were anticipated to occur in 2005 but due to separate and
unrelated reasons did not occur until 2006 The Public Safety Communications retirement was
unanticipated. Unbudgeted retirement cashouts total $60,000 ($38,265 and $21,735) in the
Fire Department, and $29,600 in the PSC Fund, for a total of $89,600
Also, the aging Fire Department fleet is generating significant increases in maintenance costs
beyond the capacity of the existing 2006 M &O budget. The current automotive M &O budget
of $35,000 is already exhausted—an appropriation of $20,000 is being requested to
accommodate the anticipated vehicle maintenance needs through the end of the year
Therefore, it is necessary to appropriate $80,000 in the General Fund and $29,600 in the
Public Safety Communications Fund to provide for the expenditures related to the retirement
cashouts and the automotive M & 0 needs for the remainder of 2006 The attached Ordinance
amends the respective 2006 operating budgets to provide for these unanticipated costs, to be
funded by reserves.
