Where this leaves us • Sheriff’s Office projected FY13 overage = 5 days of General Fund Reserve • We have savings from other Departments that equal approximately 3 Reserve Days. (We were going to use these surplus funds to replenish our Reserve.) • Given the $2.0 Million overage in the Sheriff’s Office, we will use the 3 Reserve Day surplus from other Departments and consume another of our 2 Reserve Day monies in order to meet SO obligations incurred. • The city now stands at 62 Reserve Days in the General Fund
Reserve days *Subject to change.

Firing Range/training complex • Firing Range (originally requested at cost of $70,000 in FY11) is now becoming a Training Complex (costs to date total $355,000). • Budget priority for FY2014 of over $1.4 million additional investment in Training Complex for buildings, equipment, golf carts, operating materials and furnishings. These were included in the Sheriff’s Requested Budget for FY14. • The total estimated cost of the Firing Range/Training Complex is now expected to exceed $1.7 million. • The new Firing Range/Training Complex is in addition to the original firing range located on Cusseta Road.

Itemized list of training facility cost • FY14 General Fund Requests For Training Facility Vehicles - $56,000 Equipment - $24,797 Total - $80,797 • FY14 OLOST Fund Requests for Training Facility General Construction - $1,279,739 FF&E - $ 66,000 - Furniture - $17,460 - Equipment - $48,540 Total - $1,345,739 • FY14 Training Facility Requests - $1,426,536
BOOKING OF EXPENSES • Over $ 280,000 in FY2012 incurred expenses were not turned into Finance Department until FY2013. • Over $1.1 million in FY2013 incurred expenses were not turned into Finance until after fiscal year end. Of this, $930,000 was for Inmate Medical expenses. • Budgeted monies expended while other expenses are incurred but not booked until after allotted budget has been exhausted. Allotted budget has been largely expended within the first 9 months of the fiscal year, leading to budget overages in the last few months of each year. SO is regularly 130-140% over its 9 month pro rate budget by the end of the third quarter of the Fiscal Year. • There are basic budget management issues relative to approved budget amount.
SO Suggested SOLUTIONS • The $2 million FY2013 overage to be offset from $5 million Jail Reserve • SO to Hire Accounting Professional so long as any changes to staffing are Budget and Staffing Level neutral • SO will set goal to reduce Overtime by 30% from FY13 level in FY14 with a long term goal of reducing its OT budget commensurate with the most efficient effect scheduling achievable
Other Proposed Considerations for Council • Council to consider amending Pension Plan for all CCG employees to expressly remove all Overtime (whether straight time OT or time and half OT) and vacation pay from Pension calculation. • Council to consider eliminating “Gap Time” hourly payments made in addition to base salary for all new employees. • Administration to amend city policy and procurement requirements to require all vendors to send monthly Statements directly to the Finance Department.
