General Fund Neighborhood Services

FY2025 DISCUSSION AND SIGNIFICANT CHANGES
The Recommended Budget:

• Decreases by ($3,170,169) and transfer of 73 authorized positions and inactivation of 7 authorized positions
in salary, benefits and general operating expenditures due to the transfer of seven community centers to the
Park and Recreation Department.
• Decreases by ($406) and one authorized position (AP) for an Administrative Technician position eliminated
due to long-term vacancy reductions.
• Increases by $2,178,304 for the High Impact Pilot program.
• Increases by $367,988 in salary and benefits for previously approved costs associated with pay for
performance, rising health care costs, and pension contributions.
• Increases by $24,402 in General Operating & Maintenance for previously approved costs associated with risk
management, administrative cost, and IT solutions allocation costs.
• Decreases by ($116,315) in General Operating & Maintenance for electricity and other utility costs.

Grant-funded APs/FTEs decreased by 24 authorized positions because United Way took over administration of
the Summer Food and Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program in FY24 instead of providing the City the
funding to run the program. While this budget covers operating costs for the City, it does not include Grant costs,
however the change was significant enough to require a comment.
