Adopted FY 2014-15 Budget
GENERAL GOVERNMENT RESULT AREA SUMMARY
BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS
The FY 14-15 General Government Result Area Adopted Budget is increasing by approximately $1.45
million, or 3.4%.
The General Government Result Area now includes Communications and the Contact Center, assigned to
the Executive Department. These divisions were previously assigned to Public Affairs.
The General Government Result Area shows a slight decrease overall in FTE positions. Human Resources
eliminated 1 FTE, Finance and Administrative Services allocated a portion of three positions (totaling about
0.5 FTE) among various funds receiving services from the Finance Department, including the Debt Service
Fund and the Hotel/Motel Occupancy Tax Fund.
The FY 14-15 Economic Development and Business Support Adopted Budget is decreasing by $224,873, or
16.6% largely due to the cyclical timing of Economic Development Incentive reimbursements.
The Information Technology (IT) Department Adopted Budget is decreasing by $186,220, or 2.9%.
IT reductions include changes to hardware standards allowing IT more authority over leased hardware decisions
for an estimated savings of $50,000 in FY 14-15 and the implementation of an internet connection policy limiting
the number of devices connected to the internet for an estimated annual cost savings of $60,000.
The Legislative Department Adopted Budget is decreasing by approximately $350,637, or 34.0% because
there are no scheduled municipal elections or referenda in FY 14-15.
The combined costs for the General and Employee Risk Retention Funds (formerly known as the
Insurance Funds) are increasing by approximately $2.6 million, or 5.7%.
Two alternative fuel compressed natural gas vehicles purchased by the Equipment Services Fund will
generate an approximate annual savings of $17,600.
