This was previously indicated on a <br />monthly financial report. <br />3. An associate municipal judge fills in for Judge Hunt when he is out. There was inadequate <br />budget allocation for this item in the 2008-09 budget. <br />4.

There were major projects in Paris which contributed <br />to the high BV fees. <br />5. There were unexpected maintenance issues with the EMS emergency vehicles this year. <br />6. Overtime in the EMS department is linked in part to the call volume experienced. <br />7. "Contract Services" includes payments to the band members and transportation costs. <br />8.
