INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Finance & Governance Committee
FROM: Vicky Carlsen, Finance Director
BY: Aaron Williams, Fiscal Manager
CC: Mayor Ekberg
DATE: June 28, 2021
SUBJECT: April 2021 Departmental Budget -to -Actuals Report
Summary
The purpose of the April 2021 General Fund Financial Report is to summarize for the City Council the general
state of departmental expenditures and to highlight significant items. The following provides a high-level
summary of the departmental financial performance.
The April 2021 Report is based on financial data available as of June 8, 2021, for the period ending April 30,
2021. Additional details can be found within the attached financial report.
At the May 11, 2021, Committee of the Whole, Council gave consensus to move forward with using Streamlined
Sales Tax (SST) mitigation revenue to fund a number of high-priority programs including: Fire overtime, permit
activity, street/bus stop maintenance, park maintenance, recreation program assistance, Dark Trace — cyber
security, wage & compensation agreement, and code enforcement & rental housing. These items will be
included in the year-end budget amendment and are revenue backed by SST funds
Expenditures
General Fund departmental expenditures totaled $18.87 million through April, which is $1.66 million less than
the allocated budget of $20.54 million. Dept. 20, which is transfers to other funds totaled $1.37 million, which is
$81.60 thousand less than the allocated budget. The allocated budget is calculated to reflect year-to-date
spending patterns of the previous year.
While all but one department is currently below the allocated budget, there is growing concern that department
budgets, in general, are too low and may be unable to absorb necessary costs without a budget amendment. In
reviewing expenditures by type, insurance exceeds the annual budget by $84 thousand and utilities category
has already expended 68% of the annual budget. Given that the City has 3 new facilities and the vacated fire
stations are still owned by the City, it is very likely that the annual utilities budget will be exceeded in the 3rd
quarter of 2021.
Staff will be closely monitoring departmental budgets and will continue to keep the City Council fully informed of
additional budgetary concerns.

Departmental Variances
All but one General Fund department was under their allocated budget through April 2021. Noteworthy variances
are:
• The Fire Department is $294.73 thousand over the allocated budget of $4.20 million. The
variance is related to overtime & associated benefits compared to the allocated budget.
Council recently gave consensus for a year-end budget amendment to increase fire overtime
by $200k. An additional budget amendment will be needed to account for overtime that is
reimbursable. Any reimbursable overtime will have no effect on the general fund. However,
given the use of minimum staffing overtime in 2021, unless action is taken to reduce
expenditures, a budget amendment that will affect the general fund will be needed. Additional
information is currently being prepared for a full conversation on the Fire Department budget
at a committee meeting in the near future.
The chart below provides additional details on overtime associated with the Fire Department.

Objective
Analyze alternatives to funding the City's Fleet program.
Identify an alternative way to fund Fleet that will provide some relief for the General
Fund.
Make recommendation of possible solutions
6)
Current Situation
Fleet meets with Departments and fleet needs/changes are discussed
Fleet requests are submitted through the budget process
Fleet requests are approved/denied during budget discussions
GF makes budgetary contributions at the department level
Enterprise funds make budgetary contributions at the fund level
GF cannot continue to support Fleet in its current capacity
GF has taken contribution "holidays" while Enterprise fuds continue to contribute
What We Looked At
Buying used
Eliminate Commuter Trip Reduction Program
Leasing
Electric vehicles
Shrinking fleet
Sharing vehicles between departments
Recommendation
Fleet leasing
No cuts to department's fleet size
Accounting change for GF fleet in Dept. 20 (Nondepartmental)
Equity Lease vs. Traditional Lease
City retains all rights of ownership/equity
No mileage restrictions
No time restrictions
No wear & tear penalties

What Does Fleet Leasing Look Like?
Included (approximately 115 Vehicles)
PD non -patrol vehicles
Standard fleet — PW, P&R, Pooled vehicles, Mayor's Office
Enter into leasing as budget is approved 9 cars in 2021, 2 vehicles in 2022
Entire standard fleet replaced by 2025
Not Included
PD Patrol vehicles
Mowers
Trailers
Forklifts
Tractors
Why Fleet Leasing (Benefits)
Increase cash flow
Reduce large fluctuations to fund balance
• Replace the standard fleet by end of 2025
• New vehicles are good for morale
• Maintenance reduced to oil changes/warranty work
Consider PD Patrol vehicles later
• More nimble
o Better positioned to transition to e -vehicles
o Get out of vehicles that do not fit our needs
o Reduced fleet as recognized
\\-
Fun Fact: Enterprise is not in the rental car business. They are really in the
secondary car business.
Why This Model Works
• Buy low
• Low miles
Sell at optimal period

Worst Case Scenario
We have the vehicles we would have purchased
anyway.
Exit strategy is the same as how we entered.
Change in Accounting
Fleet Fund owns all the fleet vehicles and equipment
Account for GF Fleet in Dept. 20 (Non -departmental)
Fleet budget will not be assigned to GF departments
Departments will continue to determine fleet needs
Fleet operates as pooled cash
Streamline fund balance
Eliminate fleet fund balance at the department level (off book tracking)
Eliminates department reconciliations
Penultimate Slide
Overall, there is not big $ savings
This program is for funding vehicles
We would still outfit the vehicles ourselves
We will still maintain the vehicles in-house
No reduction in fleet
Applies to 33% of total fleet
Primarily this frees up cashflow
Conclusion
Recommendation
Fleet will continue to be funded at its current level of service
No cuts to department's fleet size
Enhance cashflow by utilize fleet leasing
General Fund fleet accounting will be maintained in Dept. 20 NonDepartmental
