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.
