NEW SERVICES

These are changes where additional resources and funding have been provided within departments’
budgets for them to provide a new service to the public.

NEW FACILITIES

These changes reflect funding or position increases to open, operate, and maintain new City facilities. New
facilities may include animal shelters, fire stations, police facilities, or recreation centers.

RESTORATION OF SERVICES

These changes reflect the addition of funding or positions for services that were reduced in a prior year.
This category typically includes items that were previously reduced on a one-time basis in the prior year,
but can also include services that were decreased during economic downturns that are being restored to
former service levels.

TRANSFER OF SERVICES

These changes reflect the transfer of funding and/or positions between departments that will result in
better alignment of City services provided by departments. Usually, these transfers do not increase or
decrease the overall funding contained in the budget.

OTHER CHANGES OR ADJUSTMENTS

This category reflects changes that either fit into multiple categories or do not fit neatly in any of the
categories above. These changes are often technical in nature and may include position changes where
funding is not increased or decreased.

SUPPLEMENTAL SCHEDULES

A Detail of Contractual Services Account, listed by budgetary program, is provided for all departments.
This document provides a summary of the contracts for which a department is authorized to enter into with
the funding provided within the Contractual Services Account. If applicable, the Travel Schedule presents
a detail of the authorized travel, listed by Convention and Business travel.

DETAIL OF POSITIONS AND SALARIES

Authority to employ personnel in positions that are listed for each department, office, or bureau is limited
by the number of authorities provided, funds available for the payment of salaries, and by all applicable
salary and personnel provisions of codes, ordinances, and resolutions as adopted.

Salary information under the column heading “2020-21 Salary Range and Annual Salary” shows the salary
range number on the left and the values for the lowest and highest annual salary amount associated with
that range on the right. The salary range number represents the hourly rate for the first salary step in the
salary range (e.g., 1625 = $16.25). If the salary range number is followed by a value in parentheses, such
as 1625(2), the value in parentheses represents the starting step for a classification if the typical starting
step is not the lowest step (step one). The annual salary amounts provided to the right of the salary range
number, however, will display the lowest (step one) and highest annual salary amounts of the range
regardless of whether the typical starting step is higher than step one. The number of steps in a salary
range as well as the differential between salary steps varies by classification. All annual salary amounts
are truncated to the dollar.

Flat-rated or hourly rate classes have a single salary amount shown. Police Officer and Firefighter salaries
show the annual salary spread for the class. These salaries are structured into salary schedules that are
different than the salary range structure of civilian employees.
