Section 1 Executive
Service Level Adjustments

SERVICE LEVEL ADJUSTMENT OVERVIEW

The Town utilizes “service level adjustments” to create an organizational outcome of being
fiscal stewards and tracking our cost increases or decreases. A service level adjustment ( SLA)
is a request for any dollars in excess of the baseline/target budget.

There are 2 types of “ Service Level Adjustments”.

Maintain
o Same level of service as previous year, but increased due to inflation, etc.
o Activities that require additional resources to maintain the current level of
service due to growth, new equipment, etc. are considered additions to the
baseline/target budget and are included in the “SLA”.

New or expanded level of service.
o All requests for new personnel, programs or equipment that represent a new
addition to the current operation are considered additions to the
baseline/target budget and are included in the new costs.
o Show any revenues or reduction in current expenditures the new or expanded
levels of service will create
o Designate if item represents an “Unfunded Mandate”. An unfunded mandate is
a statute or regulation that requires a state or local government to perform
certain actions, yet provides no money for fulfilling the requirements.

This budget reflects the following service level adjustments.
