E. Vehicle and Equipment Replacement Funds Only small adjustments are being recommended in these Funds. In total, net income is being reduced by $130,000 primarily because the final street light loan payment was made a year early, and therefore the revenue projection for 2000 -01 is now being reduced by $110,000, as was discussed earlier. The LPFD light duty Vehicle Replacement Fund has been eliminated, with Pleasanton and Livermore now each providing their own replacement funding, until such time as joint liability and maintenance issues can be resolved. F. Park Renovation Fund Transfers to the CIP totaling $225,000 are being recommended for median repairs and repairs at the softball complex. G. Livermore Pleasanton Fire Department (LPFD) Overall, staff is requesting an increase of $892,000 to the LPFD budget for 2000 -01 of which Pleasanton's share is $451,000. Personnel cost increases total about $1.1 million and include salary and benefit increases ($300,000); workers compensation internal rate increase ($100,000); 3 firefighters for overstaffing as previously discussed ($236,000); increase in overtime due to vacancies and injuries ($450,000 which is net of $82,000 in savings due to adding overstaffing positions); and temporary personnel to assist with training new hires ($30,000). Electricity costs ($100,000); vehicle replacement ($73,000); vehicle maintenance ($84,000); and gasoline costs ($37,000) were moved back from the consolidated budget to each City's budget, until consolidation procedures and liability issues can be better refined. Information Systems replacement charges of $96,000 were advanced from the 2000 -01 budget by one year, to the 1999 -00 budget to allow for the complete replacement of the department's PCs. Over the next 1 -2 years as many as 25 of the 103 line firefighters will reach retirement age. As a result, $33,000 is being requested to conduct a nine person training academy in fiscal year 2000 -01. Each of the Department's new hires receives a physical, psychological examination and personal history background check. Due to increased inspection requirements under the CUPA program as well as increased volume due to the strong economy, hazardous materials Program personnel will be supplemented by additional contract support estimated at $30,000. Other increases in contract services totaling $56,000 are also requested for plan checking, legal services, etc. Other requested increases are for field supplies and equipment ($30,000); and increased offsite training ($18,000). 16
