(no action required at this meeting; second reading scheduled December 3, 2013). SUBMITTED BY: Cindy Epperson, Director of Finance & Budget SUMMARY EXPLANATION: During our final review of the 2014 preliminary budget and 2013 budget trends and estimates, we noted a few instances where additional appropriation is warranted. The major components of this ordinance are additional use of Parks and Recreation programs and facilities, and enhanced drug enforcement tied to additional revenues that are required to be used for that purpose. Parks and Recreation Fund 131 is experiencing the following: • Extended hours at Lions Pool requiring additional temporary salaries estimated at $50,000. • The newly opened Kiwanis Park fields have been used more than anticipated, so the temporary salary line for maintenance is increased by $13,000. • The water saving feature at the spray toys was not completed before the season started, so the water bill is exceeding budget by about $50,000 • A trend we are continuing to see is a downward turn in the Tahoma Cemetery revenues. Several contributing factors include an increasing demand for cremation, and record low interest rates, which reduce the amount of interest earned in the Cemetery Trust fund. An additional subsidy from the Parks and Recreation of $30,000 (from $90,000 to $120,000) is required to keep the cemetery fund balance at a minimum at the end of 2013. The total requested appropriation is $143,000. Some of the program extensions will generate additional revenue, but that is difficult to estimate. Property Tax will be used to balance the Parks and Recreation Fund at year end, if necessary. Police Grants Fund 152 is getting reimbursed for services provided for drug enforcement. Additionally, the City's share of Federal Forfeited Property is coming in better than anticipated, so YPD is purchasing additional electronic equipment to assist in this effort. This funds revenue estimate is increased by $125,000, while the expenditures are increased by $130,000, leaving a slight use of reserves of $5,000.
