The spread sheet attached to this section outlines the positions authorized at the adoption of the Fiscal Year 2009 budget.
Most importantly, the spread sheet identifies each FTE, each position, and identifies the funding source. We have also shown the status of each position so you may easily determine which positions have been filled, which have been frosted or frozen, and which are waiting on a funding source.
You will be able to see clearly that 3.24 of the 30.84 FTE's authorized were to be funded through the General Fund without a revenue offset, and that one of those FTE's has been frozen.
Of the remaining 27.60 FTE's requested, all were to be supported either partially or fully by revenue outside the General Fund, including HURF, Utilities and Environmental Services fees. Intergovernmental agreements, grants, and direct taxes such as the library district tax.
We understand the interest and concern regarding these positions as they relate to the state of our economy and budget. Given the challenges we are facing as a community, we believe it is critical that our citizens have a complete and accurate explanation of what was requested, why it was requested, how it was to be funded, and the status of that position today.
