The proposed Operating and Capital Budget for <br />FY 2014 is $18,655,820. As compared to the FY 2013 Adopted Budget, there is an overall increase of <br />$216,205 or 1.2%. This growth is matched to operating and capital budgets. Personal Services actually <br />declined for the General Fund. The pressure to grow the budget because of planned salary increases <br />was constructively offset by savings due to a reduction in the required contribution rate for the Police <br />and Fire Fighters Pension Plan. The rate reduction was driven by good investment returns and pension <br />benefit reform mandated by the Florida legislature. The FY 2014 budgeted revenue categories show <br />moderate increases overall. <br />Organizationally, the Proposed Budget includes some changes to the departments. These structural <br />changes have resulted in budgetary savings and/or organizational efficiencies and include: <br />o Human Resources addition of a Health and Safety Coordinator position to process insurance <br />claims, promote active participation in the employee's healthy living choices, and administer <br />the City's safety programs. <br />® Community Development eliminated a part-time Code Compliance support position. <br />a Finance Department eliminated a Budget Manager position. Approved changes already in <br />place during the FY 2013 fiscal year included a further elimination of an Information Systems <br />Technical Specialist and an addition of a part-time Information Systems Support Technician. <br />o The Police Department eliminated a Staff Assistant I position. <br />o The Recreation Department converted two part-time Recreation Aides and added one more <br />to establish three full-time Recreation Specialists and added a full-time Office Assistant. The <br />budget for the Recreation Center which had been maintained separately has been folded <br />into the Recreation Division budget. <br />o Parks added one Irrigation Technician position. <br />o Facilities Maintenance eliminated a Parks Development & Facilities Manager. <br />• Water Production added a Chief Water Production Operator. <br />o Water Reclamation added a Water Reclamation Superintendent and eliminated one Water <br />Production/Reclamation operator. <br />A-5 <br />
