. 2001 BUDGET - DEPARTMENT REQUESTS
. Initial Requests
Attached to this report is a summary of requests for the year 200 I budget. The initial requests were
approximately $300,000 over our established limit for the 2001 budget. The largest areas of increase
over preliminary estimates were capital outlay requests and salaries. Finance underestimated capital
outlay requests by $200,000. This included eliminating the tire station roof and exhaust system from the
preliminary budget. Salaries were underestimated at $75,000, The only explanation for this is additional
contract settlements since the cstimate and additional overtime and part-time requests. Departments were
requested to reduce needs for the year 2001 by postponing projects, eliminating programs or reducing
line items. After this process is complete we will be at the maximum established budget for the year
2001, This maximum does include a small contingency amount for the unresolved salary and benefits
agreement for the year 2000 and 2001.
Program budgeting is in effect. We will hand out a listing of programs with affiliated revenues. We are
requesting departments to provide each program's activities and objectives.
