Supplemental Requests
Each budget season, Departments evaluate their needs for new programs, personnel, and tools or equipment that will enable
them to better serve the citizens of Bedford. If these items cannot be re-allocated within their existing budget, the Department
submits a supplemental request. These requests are evaluated by the City Manager, who decides which items will be
recommended for funding in the proposed budget when presented to the City Council. Based on available funds, not all
supplemental requests can be approved.

The tables shown below re ect the following changes from the Proposed budget book:
The Stryker EMS Plus Program has been removed from this section, and is instead included in the Capital Improvements
section of the budget with other bond-funded items.
The Street Sweeper purchase was removed from the "Approved" list, and is instead listed as "Unfunded."
