Committee amends and approves supplemental overtime ordinance for Department of Emergency Management
Summary
The committee considered an ordinance to reallocate approximately $460,000 to cover projected overtime in the Department of Emergency Management for FY2013–14. The Budget Analyst recommended reducing the requested amount by $37,867 based on a projected fringe benefit surplus; the committee approved the amended ordinance and asked the department to provide the revised ordinance by 9 a.m. the following day.
Will Lee, Chief Financial Officer for the Department of Emergency Management (DEM), presented a supplemental overtime ordinance to the Budget & Finance Committee to address an anticipated overtime deficit in FY2013–14. The department had already identified salary savings and other offsets but needed the supplemental appropriation to cover projected overtime.
The Budget Analyst (Mr. Rose) reviewed the department’s report and recommended amending the ordinance to reduce the requested amount by $37,867 because projected year‑end surplus in mandatory fringe benefits could cover part of the request. The committee accepted the analyst’s recommendation, approved the amended ordinance as amended, and asked DEM to submit the amended ordinance to the clerk by 9 a.m. the next morning.
Outcome: the committee approved the amended supplemental overtime ordinance for the Department of Emergency Management and directed the department to provide the revised ordinance text to the clerk within the requested timeframe.
