Most other revenues are projected to grow moderately, as discussed in more detail in <br />Appendix D. <br /> <br />2. General Fund Expenditures <br /> <br />Recommended General Fund appropriations total $68.3 million for 2003-04 and <br />$73.0 million for 2004-05, as compared to the adjusted 2002-03 budget of <br />$69.7 million. This represents a 2.0% decrease in the first year, and a 6.9% percent <br />increase in the second year. <br /> <br />A number of items were in process at the end of 2001-02, and so the appropriations <br />were carried forward to 2002-03 to complete them. General Fund carryover <br />appropriations totaled $3.67 million. Therefore, the 2002-03 budget without the <br />carryovers would be $66.0 million, and the increase in 2003-04 compared to this <br />adjusted base figure is about $2.26 million or 3.4%. <br /> <br />The resulting increase in 2003-04 compared to 2002-03 (without the carryovers) is <br />due in part to: <br /> <br />Personnel cost changes including: <br /> · increased personnel costs of $3.6 million per existing Memorandums of <br /> Understanding (MOUs) which reflect: <br /> · / a reduction of $1.2 million due to the elimination of all but <br /> two limited term employees <br /> ,/ savings of $283,000 due to reorganizations resulting from <br /> vacancies and retirements <br /> · contingency reduction of $574,000 for other vacancies expected during <br /> the year <br />Projected increased gasoline, electricity, and water usage costs of $356,000. <br />Increased Alameda County charges for property tax collection of $22,000. <br />Reduction in Alameda County charges of $90,000 due to final payment made <br />in 2002-03 for withdrawing from the County library system. <br />Reduction in replacement accruals of $1.27 million due primarily to <br />elimination of old carryover appropriations and a re-evaluation of asset <br />replacement cycles. <br /> <br />The increase in 2004-05 compared to 2003-04 is due in part to: <br /> <br />Personnel cost changes including: <br /> · increased personnel costs of $5.3 million per existing Memorandums of <br /> Understanding (MOUs) which reflect: <br /> · / a reduction of $1.3 million due to the elimination of all but <br /> two limited term employees <br /> ,/ savings of $366,000 due to reorganizations resulting from <br /> vacancies and retirements <br /> · contingency reduction of $734,000 for other vacancies expected during <br /> the year <br /> <br />xi <br /> <br /> <br />
