Major Budget Changes
The FY2014 budget increased 6% over the FY2013 amended budget.
Personnel costs decreased 37% overall. The decrease was due to the expiration of temporary
employment contracts associated with the city’s post audit work. The decrease was partially offset by a
3% increase in the employer contribution for the Arizona State Retirement System and a 2.2% increase
for a cost of living adjustment.
Supplies decreased 100% and services increased 254% over FY2013. This was due to the
reclassification of insurance coverage and claims settlement fees as a service rather than a supply.
Contingency increased 32% over the FY2013 amended budget. Fund balance and remaining available
revenue is programmed as contingency at $2,269,000.
