Anderson, Jr., City Manager FROM: Dallas D. Everhart, Finance Departmenrx~-u-'-- DATE: June 8,1987 RE: Appropriation Ordinance No. ~__ , Series of 1987. SUMMARY: Staff recommends approval of this appropriation ordi- nance. You have previously reviewed most of these items. BACKGROUND and PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: Refer to Exhibit "A" of the Ordinance for details of each item. Most items have been previously approved by Council or are correcting previous budget entries. The following items require additional explanation: C.C.L.C. Revenue and Expense $3,150 - To recognize contribution from The Grill restaurant and subsequent expense. Environmental Health Revenues and Expenses - see department memos. Also, $750 to attend the excellence in listening seminar. Planning $1,000 - To attend the excellence in listen- ing seminar. 1986 carry forward items - During the 1986 budget year, Council approved several expenditures and associated revenues which were not actually realized during the year, but the items were ordered during the year. These items were received and paid for in 1987. It is therefore necessary to re-appropriate these previously approved 1986 budget items. The revenues identified as 1986 carry forward are for lease purchase items. The ordinance authorizes the necessary re-appropriation. RECOMMENDATION: We recommend approval of this appropriation ordinance. PROPOSED MOTION: The proper motions on first reading would be: 1. "I move to read Ordinance No.~-., Series of 1987." 2. "I move to adopt Ordinance No.~, Series of 1987 on first reading." The proper motion on second reading would be: 1. "I move to adopt Ordinance No.~Q, Series of 1987." CITY MANAGER RECOMMENI~TIONS: ~ ,.'~>'z-~--'~-'~-'--~f' c'~'~'--'~ ASPEN~I~PITKIN ENVIRONMENTAl- HEALTH OEPARTMENT TO: Aspen City Council Board of County Commissioners Lynn Dunlop, County Finance Dept. Cindy Shafer, Aspen Finance Dept. Robert S. Anderson, Jr. Through: City Manager Tom Oken Acting County Manager From: Thomas S. Dunlop, Director Environmental Health Department Date: July 7. 1987 Re: Supplemental Budget Request SUMMARY: This is an up-date of a previous request by this Department, dated May 14, 1987, to Council and the Board to appropriate additional funds for continued operation of the Environmental Health Department. This office received a letter from the Colorado Health Department dated June 26, 1987 offering a contract to perform Consumer Protection activities for the sum of $ 31,907.38. The contract dates are from July 1, 1987 through June 30, 1988. BACKGROUND AND PROBLEM DISCUSSION: Problem discussion was defined in the May 14, 1987 memorandum. The change that will be made now is the reduction of the requested amount by the sum of the contract offer. In other words, the summary table should appear as follows: Note: The amount shown should be divided in half and split between the City and County when indicated with an *. The remainder will be funded by the City of Aspen. Item Requested Amount Air Pollution equipment relocation $ 1,100.00 *Telephone charges 1,200.00 *Self improvement course 300.00 *Office supplies 500.00 *Data processing supplies 300.00 130 South Galena Street Asl~en, Colorado 81611 303/925-2020 ASPEN~PITKIN ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT 1987 Supplemental Budget Request Up-Date July 7, 1987 Page 2 *Additional printing 600.00 *Restaurant food safety book to be distributed to all restaurants 400.00 *Compuserve and Login information network 1,600.00 *Vacation liquidation 4,040.00 $10,040.00 City share = $ 5,570.00 County share = 4,470.00 $10,040.00 The major change in this table compared with that of May 14, 1987 is the absence of $ 16,000.00 previously requested to cover the anticipated loss of the 1987-88 contract. The City and County Finance Departments have been made aware of this status change. This Department is well aware of the fact that the next budget session of the Colorado General Assembly in 1988 may, in fact, cause a similar situation to occur whereby funds may be threaten- ed that are destined for this office. Throughout the next few months there will be an attempt made to work with the Colorado Health Department and the Colorado Legislature to review alter- nate funding methods for Consumer Protection activities. Examples would be cash funding of programs, mixed funding between the General Fund and cash funding or re-allocation of license fees currently being directed to the General Fund back to the Colorado Health Department for distribution to local health departments. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: As was stated in the May 14, 1987 memorandum, the two fund sources to consider in your deliberations are the 1987 General Fund contingency or 1986 General Fund savings. RECOMMENDATION: The recommendation of this Department is that Council and the Board approve the expenditure of funds requested in this memo- randum. ~ 130 South Galena Street Asl~enj Colorado 81611 303/925-2020 ASPEN~PITKIN ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH OEPARTMENT 1987 Supplemental Budget Request Up-Date July 7, 19 87 Page 3 PROPOSED MOTION: a) I move that Council/the Board approve and authorize the expenditure of funds requested and defined above and in the memorandum dated May 14, 1987. b) I move that Council/the Board disapprove the expenditure of funds requested and defined above.

Anderson, Jr.~ City Manager John Eldert County Manager FROM: Thomas S. Dunlop, Director--/~ ~ Environmental Health Dept. DATE: May 14, 1987 RE: Supplemental Budget Request SUMMARY: This is a request for Council and the Board to allocate and appropriate the below documented funds to the Environmental Health Department to allow continued operation within defined guidelines for the remainder of 1987. PREVIOUS COUNCIL AND BOARD ACTION: None. BACKGROUND AND PROBLEM DISCUSSION: This Department has and is being faced with unforeseen expendit- ures due to many circumstances, some of which are not under our control. Current budget documents indicate that this department has $6,000.00 remaining of a $16,000.00 operational amount with three quarters of the year remaining. In order to remain fiscally responsible for the remainder of 1987 this appropriation is being requested now rather than waiting until the end of the year. The Environmental Health Department has no contingency budget for such requests. Therefore, the requested amount must be allocated from other sources. The Finance Department calculated that in 1986 the Environmental Health Department revenue budget was $ 41,697, actual revenue was $ 54,999 ( not including County reimbursement), and the expendit- ure budget was $ 195,485 with actual expenditures totalling $ 192,137. This results in a positive variance of $ 16,650. 130 South Galena Street Asl~en, Colorado 81611 303/925-2020 ASPEN~i~PITKIN ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH OEPARTMENT 1987 Supplemental Budget Request May 14, 1987 Page 2 Note: The amount shown should be divided in half and split between the City and County when indicated with an *. The remainder will be funded by the city of Aspen. Request: Item Requested Amount Air Pollution equipment relocation $ 1,100.00 * Telephone charges 1,200.00 * Self improvement courses 300.00 * Office supplies 500.00 * Data Processing supplies 300.00 * Additional printing 600.00 * Restaurant food safety book to be distributed to all restaurants 400,00 * Compuserve and Login information 1,600.00 network * Vacation liquidation 4,040.00 * State contract cancellation 16,000.00 $ 26,040.00 City share = $ 13,570.00 County share = 12,470.00 $ 26,040.00 Air pollution equipment was removed from the KSNO radio tower due to potential liability that may have faced the City. The equipment was purchased with City funds only, therefore it belongs only to that political entity. Telephone charges were estimated for 1987 budget purposes with no actual basis or history since departments had not been respons- ible in the past for this item. Actual costs for this line item are double the amount that was estimated. The City has offered Personal Goal Setting courses in the past to employees. There are persons within the Environmental Health Department that wish to attend such a self improvement course. The city Personnel office is the sponsor. 130 South Galena Street Asl~en, Colorado 81611 303/925-2020 ASPEN~PITKIN ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT 1987 Supplemental Budget Request May 14, 1987 Page 3 office supply budgets have been covering the expenses for other unbudgeted items such as data processing supplies and printing. Data processing supplies are needed to cover the Department for the remainder of 1987. eg. printer cartridges for the laserjet, printer ribbon, word perfect upgrade, etc. Funds from office supplies have been the source for these purchases over the past 4 months. Additional printing will involve development of office complaint forms, receipt forms, letter head and envelopes. The restaurant food safety book will be free to all local restaurants. It will be provided to us by the National Restaur- ant Association at $ 2.20 each. The value of the information contained in the book is worth the City and County offering it free so the information reaches as many establishment operators as possible. Compuserve and Login are information sources from industry and government on literally hundreds of current topics that this office uses. To be exact, status of superfund legislation and actions and air pollution technical review topics as well as many others. The costs associated with Compuserve are modem purchase, monthly access charge and estimated hourly use charge. The Login costs will be for the estimated hourly use charges. The vacation liquidation memo is attached with appropriate comments. Colorado contract supplement is requested due to the recent State Legislative action that removed all funding from counties that had contracts with the Colorado Health Department to perform Consumer Protection activities. The elected officials have the option of reducing services, cash funding the programs through user fees, allocating general fund money into the programs or a combination of the above. It is the request at this time that general fund money make up the difference lost by the State action for the remainder of 1987. A more comprehensive approach will be offered prior to the conclusion of the 1988 budget process. As a reminder, the services that will be impacted by this fund reduction include inspections of food service estab- lishments, retail markets, child care centers, summer camps, mobile home parks, schools, campgrounds, motels, hotels, food manufactures and food warehouses. Conversations with both city and County Managers agree with the approach of using General Fund money to carry the program through the remainder of 1987. 130 South Galena Street Aspen, Colorado 81611 303/925-2020 ASPEN~PITKIN ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT 1987 Supplemental Budget Request May 14, 1987 Page 4 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: The City and County Finance Departments as well as the Administ- ration Managers have been made aware of the current status of these issues. In a conversation with Cindy Shafer it is evident that there are two fund sources to consider in your deliberations. They are the 1987 General Fund contingency or 1986 General Fund savings. RECOMMENDATION: The recommendation of this Department is that Council and the Board approve the expenditure of funds requested in this memo- randum . PROPOSED MOTION: a) I move that Council/the Board approve and authorize the expenditure of funds requested and defined above for the reasons given. b) I move that Council/the Board disapprove the expenditure of funds requested and defined above. CITY MANAGER RECOMMENDATIONS: 130 South Galena Street Aspen, Colorado 1~1611 303/E~25-2020 ASPEN~bPITKIN ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH OEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM TO: Aspen City Council THROUGH: Robert S. Anderson, Jr., City Manager FROM: Thomas S. Dunlop, Director/-~ Environmental Health Dept. DATE: April 28, 1987 RE: Accumulated Vacation Time Adjustment SUMMARY: This is a request to have the City pay me for 210 hours of accumulated vacation time that I will not be able to use. The actual request is to take 210 hours from vacation accumulated. As a point of information my current vacation/sick leave/non-comp balance is as follows (as of February 19, 1987): Vacation 288.0 hrs. Vacation accum, over the maximum ........ 218.5 hrs. Sick leave ........ 720.0 hrs. Sick leave accum over the maximum- 90.5 hrs. Non-comp time accumulated 1,076.0 hrs. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: None, as this has never been requested in this format before. BACKGROUND AND PROBLEM DISCUSSION: I have never anticipated having to ask for this since I have always felt that my job responsibilities demanded more time than the usual 40 hour week. However, there have been extenuating circumstances over the past few months that have driven me to now make this request. Due to a family emergency in November 1986 my wife and I made a trip to Iowa that was not anticipated and other circumstances that impacted my personal budget in January 1987, this request is made. (I will provide details of the emergency in a separate memo should you desire). Section 6.1 (h) of the City of Aspen Personnel Code dictates the criteria to take payment in lieu of vacation. I qualify under items 1 and 3. However, item 2 requires adequate budget be available in the department, that does not exist in this case. 130 South (~alena Street Aspen, Colorado 81611 303/925-2020 ASPEN~bPITKIN ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT Accumulated Vacation Time Adjustment April 28, 1987 Page2 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: The Environmental Health Department has no contingency budget for such requests. Therefore, the requested amount (defined below) will have to be allocated from other sources. I have met with Cindy Shafer from the Finance Department. It is her suggestion that the money be recovered from the 1986 city budget. Specifically, the Finance Department calculated that in 1986 the Environmental Health Department revenue budget was $ 41,697, actual revenue was $ 54,999 (not including County reimbursement), and the expenditure budget was $ 195,485 with actual expenditures totalling $ 192,137. This results in a positive variance of $ 16,650. The direct implications are: Requested vacation hours relinquished to the city ...... 210 Hourly rate $ 19.24 Total ......... $ 4040.40 RECOMMENDATION: I recommend Council authorize the expenditure of funds defined above for the reasons given. PROPOSED MOTION: a) I move that Council approve the expenditure of funds defined above for the reasons given. b) I move that Council disapprove the expenditure of funds defined above.
