The increase in personnel services is attributed to multiple factors, primarily contractually
obligated cost of living adjustments, the filling of critical vacancies, and the transfer of salaries
from the former redevelopment agency to the General Fund. The decrease in maintenance and
operations expenses likely is the result of timing differences of obligations and processing from
year to year, as well as fiscal discipline. At the mid -year point, however, it is difficult to
ascertain the extent or proportion to which these factors apply, and requires ongoing analysis as
the year progresses. "Other Expenditures", which consists of capital projects and transfers to
internal service funds, is largely due to timing of the posting of capital expenses.
Staff is projecting actual expenditures to end the fiscal year at nearly $1.1 million below budget.
Recent historical data and current spending trends suggest this is a conservative estimate.

While personnel costs for the first half of this year are greater than for the same period last year,
a savings of $1.07 million, compared to budget, is expected to result from savings related to
vacant authorized positions. Although currently on pace to end the year up to $200,000 below
budget, Maintenance & Operations is conservatively projected to be in line with its budget, as
are (combined) other expenditures. As indicated above, further review is necessary and will be
conducted for the 3rd quarter budget report.
