These costs include training, fuel, maintaining and operating vehicles, patrol cars, and fire units along with annual depreciation cost for scheduled replacement of all rolling stock. 3 City-wide training expense amounts to about 16% of the total amount budgeted in this account including ongoing training for both police and fire personnel. Repairs & Maintenance Repairs & Maintenance costs are estimated to decrease by $115,512 or-8.9% in FY 2017/18 over the FY 2016/17 Midyear Budget and remain the same in FY 2018/19. The main reason for the decrease is because vehicle replacements are now included under the Transportation and Training category and were under the Repairs and Maintenance category in FY 2016/17. The Repairs and Maintenance category includes a variety of expenditure accounts including computer hardware maintenance, equipment parts, various repair contracts and replacement and renovation charges. The majority of the costs in this category are replacement and renovation charges and includes funding for replacement and/or renovation of parks and medians, computer equipment, city buildings.

The Materials & Supplies category includes a variety of expenditures including professional service contracts, water & sewer charges for City facilities, street light electricity costs, and contributions to the self-insurance liability reserve, community program grants, and contingency funds. As previously noted, increases in this category over the FY 2016/17 Midyear Budget include (1) the increased contingency for MOU increases being negotiated in FY 2016/17, (2) contractual services increase in Planning and Community Development that are off-set by increased revenues, (3) temporary agency contract staffing reflecting existing and expected vacancies, (4) increased allocations to grants to non-profit organizations, (5) uniform costs mandated by the City's labor MOUs, and (6) printing and film development expenses associated with increased communications. These cost increases are somewhat off-set by decrease in election expenses and other miscellaneous net decreases.
