Notes
1. External Revenue
External revenue generated from services provided to ATCO are no longer required in 2010.
ATCO is currently managing grind and overlay work for the gas main renewal program in-house.
2. Personnel
The increase in personnel costs for the 2010 budget over the 2009 budget reflects the
reorganization of personnel in the Capital Construction Department and the increases from
contract settlements and benefits for 2009. It also includes the addition of 4 new positions,
2 Design Engineers and 2 Project Managers, to the RDC Branch.
3. External Services
The decrease of external service costs for the 2010 budget from the 2009 budget reflects the
elimination of services provided to ATCO. ATCO has decided to manage the service in-house,
therefore no revenue will be generated and the offseting contract work account no longer needs
to be budgeted.
4. Intra-municipal Services
The increase to intra-municipal services is mainly attributable to space rent and departmental
overhead charges ($1,003) and monthly parking charges.
5. Intra-municipal Recoveries
Branch personnel, non-personnel and attributable administration overhead costs are
partially recovered from capital projects.
The recovery percentage is dependant on time and effort dedicated to capital activity. The
remainder (approx 20%) is not recoverable and is funded by the tax levy.
It also includes the impact from the Service & Budget Review of moving 3 Project
Manager positions from Operating to Capital.
