Transmittal Letter

Expenditures On-going One-time Total
Payroll & Related $ 276, 422 $ 61,439 $ 337, 861
Service Level Adjustments 14,504 14,504
Facility Related 261, 853 261, 853

Miscellaneous 65,000 65,000
Grand Total $ 552,779 $ 461,949 $ 1,014,728

Payroll costs reflect an increase based on our annual salary survey and Council policy
On-going Service Level Adjustments ( SLA’ s) which are minimal ( less than $15K)
Lease costs for Town Hall space booked for the full fiscal year and increased maintenance
costs for the new Fire-EMS facility
Development costs identified and proposed for funding through one-time money

As contained in Council policy, the majority of the revenue funds that would be considered one-
time in frequency are transferred out to the Conduit Funds we use to help provide for the
replacement of vehicles, address any major maintenance and repairs, or to fund projects in our
Capital Improvements Program ( CIP). The proposed budget would retain approximately $ 335,500
of the anticipated one-time revenue to cover costs associated with development and inspection
fees that are also considered one-time or infrequent in nature.

As a staff team, we believe the proposed budget positions us to continue to meet the service level
expectations of the Council and our stakeholders. Our organization provides an excellent array of
municipal and academic benefits for those who call Westlake ‘ home’ through the utilization of our
financial policies, strategic plan, Comprehensive Plan and feedback from our community. All while
supporting the vision the Council has set for the community.

That vision is:

Westlake is an oasis of natural beauty that maintains our open spaces in balance with distinctive
development, trails, and quality of life amenities amidst an ever-expanding urban landscape.

My thanks to our Councilmembers, our great Leadership Team and Finance Department staff for
their commitment to Westlake in helping to ensure our community is “ Distinctive by Design”.

Town Manager
