STAFF SERVICES
FUCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

The Staff Services Functional area is comprised of three departments: Finance, Information Technology, and Personnel. The Staff Services
function performs all accounting, auditing, budgeting, cash management, personnel, data processing, information technology, purchasing, and
risk management functions in the City. Staff assists with receptionist and switchboard duties. The Staff Services function includes the following
positions: Finance Director, Accounting Supervisor, Accounting Clerk, Information Technology Director, and Assistant Information Technology
Director.

The Functional Summary page provides financial information for the Staff Services Function on an actual basis for 2018-19; on an adopted
budget and twelve-month estimate basis for 2019-20; and on a department request, decision package, total request, and adopted budget
basis for 2020-21.

The Staff Services Function's total 2020-21 Budget is $1,191,558. This allocation is the same amount requested by Department Heads in their
2020-21 total request of $1,191,558. This total request includes $1,191,558 for base budget expenditures and no decision packages.

A decision package is defined as any change in program emphasis, expenditure of funds, and/or allocation of personnel or equipment which
results in an increase or decrease in the current level of services. A decision package is used to: add a new program, delete an existing
program or function and replace it with a new or different function or program, request expenditures that exceed the total appropriation for
the previous year's (2019-20) budget, request additional compensation for an employee or job classification, request an adjustment to the
City's Classification and Compensation Matrix, and/or request funds for a new capital outlay.

The Functional Reconciliation and Decision Package Summary provides a reconciliation of all changes made from the total request to the adopted
budget. This summary also provides a list of all decision packages requested for Staff Services Activities. The list of decision packages
categorizes the decision packages as funded or not-funded and provides the allocation amount approved for each funded package.
