RECOMMENDED BUDGET FY 2017 FY 2018 $ CHANGE % CHANGE BUDGET BUDGET Appropriations 6,293,072 6,054,269 (238,803) -3.8% Revenue (3,867,884) (3,695,132) 172,752 4.5% Net Amount 2,425,188 2,359,137 (66,051) -2.7%

MAJOR INFLUENCES • Absorb contractual and vendor increases while meeting directive and still maintaining service levels. • Tightened budgets by line item to reflect the increased efficiencies of the department and lower maintenance costs for our improving infrastructure. • Maintain a budget level that still allows us to meet Citizen needs and keep our infrastructure in safe working order.

OPERATIONAL CHANGES REFLECTED IN THIS BUDGET • Increases: • Chemicals - Increase of $15,000. An increase to the salt price that occurred last year, is now reflected in this year’s budget. More effective use of salt and liquid treatments have helped improve road conditions dramatically and decreased storm cleanup costs. • Curbside Trash/Recycling Collection - Increase of $20,000. The contract signed last year allows for a 2% increase during the upcoming year. • Decreases: • Paving - Reduction of $30,000 . We have reached our goal of citywide pavement condition, so now we are trying to just maintain instead of increase pavement quality. Also, two significant projects (Main Street and Industrial Park Rd) will get done through PACTS and MDOT in 2018 • Transfer Station - Reduction of $40,000. Last year’s allocation for safety improvements was removed from this budget, along with additional operating efficiencies and self hauling savings. • Vehicle Fuel - Reduction of $22,000 . Fuel consumption reduction through more effective route planning, anti- idling, full GPS integration, and overall better condition of our road and sidewalk network. • Overtime- Reduction of $6,000 . Accounts for a trend of efficient operations and an improved conditions of the infrastructure we maintain. (less emergency calls, fewer potholes, improved winter operations)
