The budget for all departments increased due to the increased retirement contributions.
Additional changes are described below.

General Administrative Office – Increased costs for credit card processing fees are
offset by the transfer of the Information Technology function to create a separate
department. A Management Analyst position, improvements at City Hall, and a
contribution to 6 Stones Program is added.

Municipal Court – Employee turnover results in a savings. Court software previously
budgeted in the Escrow Fund is included in the General Fund.

Fire – The decrease is due to a replacement fire engine in the 2017-2018 budget.
Increases include an additional firefighter position, operation costs of the new public
safety radio system, replacement of all self contained breathing apparatus, and the
replacement of a rescue vehicle.
