NEW SERVICES

               These are changes where additional resources and funding have been provided within departments’
               budgets for them to provide a new service to the public.

               NEW FACILITIES

               These changes reflect funding or position increases to open, operate, and maintain new City facilities. New
               facilities may include animal shelters, fire stations, police facilities, or recreation centers.

               RESTORATION OF SERVICES

               These changes reflect the addition of funding or positions for services that were reduced in a prior year.
               This category typically includes items that were previously reduced on a one-time basis in the prior year,
               but can also include services that were decreased during economic downturns that are being restored to
               former service levels.

               TRANSFER OF SERVICES

               These changes reflect the transfer of funding and/or  positions between departments that will result in
               better alignment of City services provided by departments. Usually, these transfers  do not increase or
               decrease the overall funding contained in the budget.

               OTHER CHANGES OR ADJUSTMENTS

               This  category reflects  changes that either fit into  multiple categories or do  not fit neatly in any of the
               categories above. These changes are often technical in nature and may include position changes where
               funding is not increased or decreased.

                                                SUPPLEMENTAL SCHEDULES

               A Detail of Contractual Services Account, listed by budgetary program, is provided for all departments.
               This document provides a summary of the contracts for which a department is authorized to enter into with
               the funding provided within the Contractual Services Account. If applicable, the Travel Schedule presents
               a detail of the authorized travel, listed by Convention and Business travel.

                                            DETAIL OF POSITIONS AND SALARIES

               Authority to employ personnel in positions that are listed for each department, office, or bureau is limited
               by the number of authorities provided, funds available for the payment of salaries, and by all applicable
               salary and personnel provisions of codes, ordinances, and resolutions as adopted.

               Salary information under the column heading “2020-21 Salary Range and Annual Salary” shows the salary
               range number on the left and the values for the lowest and highest annual salary amount associated with
               that range on the right. The salary range number represents the hourly rate for the first salary step in the
               salary range (e.g., 1625 = $16.25). If the salary range number is followed by a value in parentheses, such
               as 1625(2), the value in parentheses represents the starting step for a classification if the typical starting
               step is not the lowest step (step one). The annual salary amounts provided to the right of the salary range
               number, however, will  display the  lowest (step  one) and  highest annual  salary  amounts of the range
               regardless of whether the typical starting step is higher than step one. The number of steps in a salary
               range as well as the differential between salary steps varies by classification. All annual salary amounts
               are truncated to the dollar.

               Flat-rated or hourly rate classes have a single salary amount shown. Police Officer and Firefighter salaries
               show the annual salary spread for the class. These salaries are structured into salary schedules that are
               different than the salary range structure of civilian employees.
