ITEM TITLE: An Ordinance amending the 2000 General Fund budget for Fire Department
overtime.

SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
During the year 2000, a few factors have created the need to increase the Fire Department overtime budget
by $87,000 from the General Fund. First, the Yakima Fire Department has participated in seven
mobilizations during this extremely difficult fire season. Our participation is reimbursable and the City of
Yakima can expect to see a return of funds of approximately $32,000.
Also, this year we have had several disabilities of our operational staff. We have 60 firefighters and officers,
an average of 20 per shift; this year we have had as many as eight long -term disabilities at one time. This is
approximately 14% of our total operational force. In order to have adequate coverage for all shifts, we call
back firefighters on overtime to compensate for the loss of available personnel.
Staff respectfully requests that Council approve the attached ordinance. The ordinance increases the Fire
Department's overtime budget in fire operations by $87,000, and increases the General Fund revenue budget
representing reimbursement by the State or other agencies by $32,000. The net effect on General Fund
reserves is a decrease of $55,000.
