STAFF REPORT
2008-09 BUDGET AMENDMENTS
In the General Fund, the budget amendment proposes to increase various line items in the totai amount
of $79,460.00 while at the same time proposing decreases to various line items also totaling $79,460.00.
The total General Fund budget remains unchanged from the originally adopted amount. It was
necessary to offset the proposed increases with proposed decreases because there was no excess
revenue over expenditures to absorb the proposed increase. The increase is broken down as follows:
$62,078 is needed to convert the municipal judge from a contract employee to a regular city
employee. This is accomplished by moving his contract fees ($51,500) to the salary line item and
adding the appropriate benefits. The net increase to the Municipal Court budget is $10,578. This
change was prompted by a TML Insurance Pool rule that says that appointed municipal judges
must receive all city benefits in order to have health insurance coverage. This is not a new rule
for the Pool, but they had overlooked this requirement when the City joined the Pool several
years ago.
2. $12,382 is needed to reclassify the Chief Building Official to a Grade 36 Step 6($52,487 salary)
plus the related increase in benefits. This is a 24.7% increase in base pay. The net increase to the
Communitv Development budget is $2,470.
3. $5,000 is needed to meet the request of the Lamar County Historical Society for funding to
offset increased expenses from increased hours of operation and to make other needed
improvements. The museum serves as an educational and tourist focal point benefiting the City
of Paris. The net increase to the Parks Department budget is $5,000.
The lease & rentals account of the Traffic and Garage Departments were reduced $11,148 and $6,900
respectively to make up the additional reductions needed to offset the proposed increases.
The ordinance details each line item and amount that is increased or decreased in the proposal.
