Narrative to Appropriations Transfer Attached please find a budget to actual comparison expenditure schedule at the departmental level for the year ended September 30 2002 As you will recall the first appropriation transfer occurred using July 31 2002 amounts and was approved by Council in early September Now that the totals are final and the audit has been completed a second and final appropriations transfer is necessary The Village overall operated within departmental budgets however affects from outside sources unforeseen at the time of the preparation of the original budget were not known The major items of concern are as follows • Legal Fees Over budget by $344 325 due to lawsuits initiated by the Coalition to Rescue Paradise The prior appropriation transfer addressed $298 555 of this problem this appropriation transfer will address the remaining $45 770 • Fire Department — Over budget by $261 778 Actions brought about by the previously named citizen s group directly caused construction delays to the new fire station Due to unhealthy conditions at the old fire facilities some firefighters were diagnosed as having symptoms of sick building syndrome and were only allowed to work a limited number of hours Other staff members had to cover the requirements This resulted in the following over budget line items $137 700 of overtime salaries $59 836 in other related payroll line items such as payroll taxes and acting supervisor pay $26 222 in insurance premiums due to industry increases directly related to the events of the 9/11/2001 $2 781 in repairs to the old fire facilities in response to deteriorating conditions and $35 239 of grant related expenses that were not budgeted but were paid for by grant proceeds received • Clerk s Office — Over budget by $42 391 Due primarily to an additional election expense of $34 843 and related legal advertising of $7 139 • Recreation Department — Over budget by $36 276 Of this amount $18 000 was due to theCouncil approved lease of the playing field at St Agnes School $7 739 in park improvements related to the new Beach Park additional expenses of the 4th of July fireworks in the amount of $7 451 and the remainder was due to additional expenses of the Winterfest program The above areas total over $684 770 of unbudgeted unanticipated expenditures that the Village had no choice but to absorb in the operating budget for fiscal year ended September 30 2002 Please find attached my recommendation for the second and final appropriations transfer 210 North University Dnve Suite 702 Coral Spnngs FL
