                 The Management Services division provides administrative support and supervision.  The Street Maintenance division maintains streets, drainage

                 The Engineering division provides in-house engineering services and reviews engineering services provided by consultants.

                 The Functional Summary page provides financial information for the Public 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
                 for 2020-21.

                 The Public Services function's total 2020-21 Budget is $4,587,113.  This allocation is the same amount asked for by the Public Services Director
                 in the 2020-21 total request of $4,587,113.   This total request includes $4,587,113 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 Public 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.
