42 In recent years, the Municipality increased staffing positions in response to increasing service and infrastructure demands related to the oil sands activity growth. However, as a public agency operating in a competitive labor environment, the Municipality could not attract the required staff complement. A review of salaries and benefits was undertaken coupled with changes to working culture, emphasizing work and life balance. The Municipality has become an employer of choice within the region. The region has remained at full employment through the recession. This has become tradition for employers in the region; recruitment drives outside the region have become a major source for new employees. Detailed discussion of the changes in personnel, recruitment processes are in the personnel summaries section of this budget overview. 2. CONTRACTED AND GENERAL SERVICES The 2012 contracted and general services approved budget is $116,783,611. This is an increase of 10% over the 2011 approved budget and an increase of 7% increase over the 2011 projection. General services category comprises expenses such as recruitment, training, travel, telephones and internet, professional services, contracts, legal fees, insurance and a plethora of minor expense lines. General services budget performance has swung from significant deficit position to significant surplus between 2008 and 2009. This expense category is subject to allocation swings influenced by planned operating projects. The 2012 recommended budget on General and Contracted services covers incremental costs driven by the following major elements: Increase in road maintenance for road sealing, repair of sidewalks, curbs and gutters, snow removal as additional costs arising for new traffic signals installed in 2011 Service improvements in Transit Contractual increases on existing contracts
43 3. PURCHASES FROM GOVERNMENTS Purchases from governments comprise transactions between the Municipality and other public agencies. A significant portion of these costs relate to the RCMP contract. The 2012 approved budget of $19,778,452 represents a 10% decrease from the 2011 approved budget. Budget variances experienced in recent years were related to personnel vacancies within the sworn officers. RCMP / Bylaw department continues to monitor these vacancies but to a large extent this is outside of the Municipality’s control. An additional 11 officers will be secured beginning 2012 to meet required ongoing services as well as manning the new police facility that is expected to be completed in 2013. 4. MATERIALS, GOODS, SUPPLIES AND UTILITIES The materials, goods, supplies and utilities category consists of items required to operate and maintain the Municipality on a daily basis. The major items include fuels & lubes, chemicals and salts, natural gas and electricity. The 2012 approved budget of $24,150,981 shows a decrease of 5% from the 2011 approved budget. This is in keeping with ongoing review on actual needs and tying that to budget requests. A 4% positive variance is projected in this expense category in 2011.
