The increase is because revenues for Buildings Permits, Ambulance Fees and Municipal Court Fines exceeded
budgeted revenues by $299,000. In addition, the expenditures are expected to be approximately $103,000 under
budget. Major areas are: Public Works under by $80,000 due primarily to underspending in the commodities and
personnel areas; Police Department under by $55,000 because not fully staffed until late in the year; Fire
Department over by approximately $1 50,000 because of overtime that ambulance fees can partially offset; and
the Park Department under budget by $70,000 because of underspending in personnel and contractual services.
A brief discussion followed concerning the rebuilding of the reserve and strategies to reduce Fire Department
overtime.
U
Member Smith asked that the issue be placed on a future agenda for action during 1996.
PRELIMINARY ALS FIRE STATION PLAN VIEWED Manager Rosland showed the Council the preliminary plan
of the proposed Advanced Life Support Fire Station to be built during 1996. Manager Rosland pointed out the
station can house three vehicles, an ambulance, a fire pumper and another utility vehicle as necessary. The intent
at this time is to use the station as a power shift to improve response time and reduce overtime. It is hoped that
bids will be received and let in March of 1996 with construction of the station beginning in the spring of 1996.
