11:47 pm
>> goofrng i'm the deputy director for the department of management for emergency communicates. our request this afternoon is to deappropriate money from our contingency savings plan unexpended salaries and to appropriate a corresponding amount to over time. the original request was for $147, 976. there are three factors requiring this additional over time spending in our department a computer system dispatch. we hired a new dispatch class employees and there was trapping --
11:48 pm
training cost for that. these two factors were behind a previous increase and appropriation for over time but complicated by a third factor which increased call volume. there was a number of calls to our 911 center for any month on record and i believe june was the fourth highest. i believe there was an increase in call volume and had to increase staffing as a result. so i had three factors together. we needed to spend moreover time in order to provide services necessary and we are asking for approval of this item. >> thank you very much. colleagues, seeing no questions, let's move to our budget analyst. >> mr. chairman, on page 80 we recommend you amend the ordinance to reduce by 7, 7143, to 76, 242 and

11:51 pm
>> thank you mr. chairman, i apologize for the delay. the next item is an over time supplement for the fire indemnity. department. there are two aspects to it. one is the general fund supplement reallocation from salaries and in addition there is an airport component of it as well. the department is now requesting any additional fund for salaries but rather a reallocation of existing budget due to administrative code. for general fund operation, the main driver of this over time reallocation is at the department saw this last year retirements and
11:52 pm
separation then what was anticipated in its budget. the department projected approximately 30 retirements and saw 43 retirements and separation over the course of the year. while the department -- had additional academies that came into the budget there's not additional personnel to offset the additional retirements. the department's request in this legislation amount to less than one 1/2 percent of it's total over time budget and in addition, the department will close the fiscal year approximately $2.1 million below budget of the previous fiscal year with regards to over time. for the airport, the departments requests approximately $140,000 to reallocate. back in april, the
11:53 pm
department came before you to request approximately $1.7 million department reallocation. sense that time, the department has seen additional separation from retirements and promotion throughout the department leaving the airport and leading to allocation. the airport funds are paid for by the airport. in addition to that, the department has over all for it's general fund operation budget for over time in the budget that's going for formal approval is anticipating in it's overall budget to approximately $7.5 million. >> okay. thank you very much. colleagues any questions, if not we'll move to our budget analyst report. >> mr. chairman, base on our analysis shown on the table page 84 we recommend you amend the ordinance for the
