MEMORANDUM 
Randy Dowling, City Manager 
Mike Keith, Finance Director 
May 7, 2025 
SUBJECT: 2024-2025 Budget Amendment 
I respectfully submit the attached budget amendment. I believe most of the items are self­
explanatory based on the line items, but I will elaborate on the larger items in part II. The first 
salary increase is for the increase above the previous city manager salary. Legal services are for 
the fees paid to the city attorney. Group life and health increases relate to changes in employee 
coverages during the year. Building and grounds maintenance relate to City Hall and Recreation. 
Recreation increases were for the splash pad and the pavilion at Eco Park. Liability insurance for 
the $50,000 increase relates to the deductible we had to pay on two public records lawsuits and 
the remaining ones are for smaller claims or increases in premiums. Fixed asset items relate 
primarily to equipment for police cars budgeted in the prior year but could not be installed last 
year since the vehicles were not received until this year. Fire had to replace their drone as it 
malfunctioned through no fault of the operator and crashed. Public Works had radios that were 
ordered last year but not delivered until this year. The items showing with the 01-0908 account 
numbers at the end of part II are all related to the new Animal Shelter as we estimated the best 
we could since this was the first full year of operations in the new building. The Transfer to 
Conference Center is to provide funds to be used in the new budget year to repair the floor 
cracks, paint and purchase new tables. 
Please let me know if you need any additional information regarding this amendment.
