Authority to Amend the Adopted 2011 Budget
Body
Dear Sir:
The attached Changes to the Adopted 2011 Budget (BF-21 budget forms) are submitted for your consideration as amendments to the 2011 Adopted Budget at the Board Meeting of December 16, 2010. Requested changes to appropriations are summarized in the table below:
FUND DEPARTMENT NET CHANGE
CORPORATE Board of Commissioners $0
General Administration (29,800)
Human Resources|9 10| Law|9 10| Finance (4,900)
Maintenance & Operations|9 10| TOTAL CORPORATE FUND ($34,700)
CONSTRUCTION Engineering $0
STORMWATER MGMT. Engineering $0
The total 2011 appropriation request is $1,030,439,052 including these requested changes, a decrease of $34,700 from the Adopted Budget. The decrease is in the Corporate Fund and is due to the suspension of parade participation for 2011 and the elimination of mailing of remuneration statements to employees. Compared to the total 2010 adjusted appropriation of $1,655,410,779, this represents a decrease of $624,971,727 or 37.8 percent. The Construction Fund, Capital Improvements Bond Fund, Stormwater Management Fund, Reserve Claim Fund, Bond Redemption and Interest Fund, Retirement Fund, and Reserve Claim Fund appropriation request totals are unchanged.
The estimated total tax levy for the 2011 Budget of $467,637,525 is unchanged from the Adopted Budget. Compared to the 2010 total adjusted levy of $462,195,731, this represents an increase of $5,441,794 or 1.2 percent.
There is a net increase of two (2) positions from the Adopted Budget. Three positions were added in Maintenance and Operations for employees returning to work from leave; the positions are an Assistant Engineer of Treatment Plant Operations I #1 (HP18), an Electrical Mechanic #1 (PR7343), and a Structural Ironworker #1 (PR5973). These positions will be dropped when a vacancy occurs in the job classification. A Graphic Coordinator (HP15) was dropped in General Administration. A Graphic Artist (HP13) was transferred from the Construction Fund to General Administration in the Corporate Fund. The total number of positions requested for 2011 is 2,071, a net decrease of 45 positions from 2010.

Revised Tentative pages 14 and 15 provide account and personnel summary comparison changes.
