SUMMARY EXPLANATION_
In a separate agenda item, Council is being asked to approve the collective bargaining
settlement with IAFF There was an estimate included in the 2004 budget for this purpose
However, the actual terms of the agreement exceeded the budgeted estimate. The attached
appropriation amends the General Fund by $90,000 and the Emergency Services Fund by
$11,000 to provide adequate budgetary authority for the settlement.
Additionally, during the process of developing the 2005 budget, it was determined that
election costs, accounted for in the City Clerk /Records division of General Fund, were
under budgeted The original budget for 2004 was $115,000, while the actual charge from
the Yakima County Auditor's Office was $149,000 The costs vary from year to year
depending on the number of Councilmembers /issues on the ballot; the number of voter
registrations processed, etc. Even though there is no charge to an individual for exercising
our right to vote, this privilege cost the taxpayers $149,000 in 2004 (for the 2003 election)
The attached appropriation ordinance would authorize the use of $34,000 from General
Fund reserves for election costs.
