<br /> Councilmember Karen White, Chair of the Personnel and Finance Committee, reported that they
<br /> met this afternoon and send all four(4) bills forward with favorable recommendations.
<br /> Jen Hockenhull, City Controller with offices on the 12th floor of the County-City Building, South
<br /> Bend, IN, served as the presenter of this bill. Ms. Hockenhull stated, Before you is a second
<br /> substitute of the budget transfers. These are transfers within one (1) fund so there is no additional
<br /> money, we are just moving funds between different categories within the budgets that were
<br /> appropriated in 2017. The substitute is due to one(1) division number being wrong on the first one
<br /> (1). In 2017 we started fully charging all departments for water. Our Parks Department was under
<br /> budgeted because we didn't really know what to expect with the splash pad. In the past, we
<br /> budgeted our personnel and if people took health insurance, we would budget for that. If they
<br /> didn't take it, we didn't budget for it. We are just transferring money to cover health insurance.
<br /> Going forward, the practice will be budgeting for health insurance. There's one (1) for IT and
<br /> Innovation. Originally when we budgeted,we budgeted them in different divisions but we decided
<br /> to roll them up into one (1). Our telephone costs were higher this ye than anticipated. When
<br /> reviewing these,we found some circuits to eliminate. We will be saving roughly$360,000 in 2018
<br /> by shutting down those circuits. In our EDIT Fund#408, we had some debt service payments that
<br /> were for December 2016 that were paid at the beginning of January so we are just trying to
<br /> correct the budget to cover that.
<br /> Councilmember Dr. David Varner asked, With regards to the savings, the circuits we shut down,
<br /> to whom do we make the payment of those circuits?
