EXECUTIVE OFFICE

|
MAYOR CEDRIC B. GLOVER
|
|
|
To adopt the 2010 General Fund budget, in accordance with State law and City Charter.
|
|
This Ordinance or Resolution will have direct impact on Council District:
|
All
|
|
|
The 2010 General Fund includes:
* Funds for an additional 27 grant-funded Police officers and other recruit classes in Fire and Police to replace employees lost through retirement and attrition.
* Funds to pay for the mandatory increase in the city’s contribution to police and fire pensions. For police, this represented a 72% increase of $1.2 million. For the fire department, this represented a 72% increase of $2.2 million.
* The required 2% longevity increase for Fire and Police civil service employees, but no increases for classified employees or appointed staff.
* An Operating Reserve of only $6,830,500, which is 3.6% of estimated 2010 spending.
* Almost no funding for the purchase of vehicles and equipment. Instead of the usual $4-6 million in equipment to be financed over five years, the 2009 budget included only $434,000 and the 2010 budget includes only $1,150,400 for 52 Police patrol cars. Additional equipment is clearly needed, and we will review and assess needs throughout the year.
