• Throughout 2019, the average overtime usage per month was <br />$59,629. On average, of this $59,629 monthly overtime cost, $36,342 <br />was for minimum staffing. <br />• In 2020, the average monthly overtime usage in Jan -June had decreased to <br />$22,764, of which $9,887 was for minimum staffing. July 2020 did realize a total <br />of $40,344 for all overtime, with $31,346 for minimum staffing. Total overtime <br />year-to-date is $165,645 (31.0% of the <br />annual budget and $145.9K under the budget allocated through July). The <br />Department and City Administration team will make adjustments during the 3rd and <br />4th quarter, if needed to remain within budget for 2020. <br />The Fire Department has worked diligently in 2020 to stay within the Council's adopted budget. After 6 <br />months in 2020, the Fire Department has only used 25.5% of its allocated budget for overtime. If this <br />rate is sustained, overtime usage for 2020 will be on or below budget. The month of July has sustained <br />an increase in minimum staffing overtime, so that daily staffing levels remain at 12 per shift. This is due <br />to an increase in unscheduled overtime. The Fire Department Management Team is committed to <br />monitoring the occurrences of overtime. Adjustments may be needed to remain within the adopted 2020 <br />Fire Department budget. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT <br />With these changes to the Fire Department budget tracking and adjustment efforts, the overall goal is to <br />better track costs and to bring the ending fund balance for the Fire Department 2020 budget within the <br />adopted budget as approved by the City Council. If a budget amendment is requested before the end <br />of this year, these tracking efforts will bring clarity to the City Council concerning the status of service <br />levels and the Fire Department Budget. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />This is for discussion only, forward to the COW if CSS determines this is necessary. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />• FD 2020 2nd Quarter Power Point Report <br />• Fire Call Trend July 2020 (update Aug 4, 2020) <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />38 <br />
