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 into which a department is authorized to enter with the
funding provided within the Contractual Services Account.

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 “2022-23 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.

All salary figures reflect projected 2022-23 salaries (effective July 3, 2022) to the extent available. Salary
rates for some classifications are subject to change according to the prevailing wage pay schedule; for these
classifications the Building Trades Council will submit basic wage information to the City Administrative
Officer.

As-Needed Position authority is provided and controlled by appropriations in most instances and/or by
number of positions in others. An individual department/bureau is provided with listings of authorized
as-needed position classifications.

Departments routinely submit personnel authorization reports (Employment Level Report) for each of the 12
monthly periods to the City Administrative Officer to show the average level of employment and utilization of
personnel that is contemplated with budgeted funds. New positions may only be financed for part of the year
in accordance with a realistic recruiting and hiring program.
