Major Budget Changes
The FY2014 budget is a 59% increase over the FY2013 amended budget.
Personnel expenditures increased 2% overall. This increase was impacted 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 increased 14% and Services 445% over the FY2013 amended budget. These increases were
primarily due to the costs related to the bi-annual election process and a potential citywide election for the
general plan programmed for FY2014.
