A $1,000 one-time payment per Fire Supervisor employee to be paid by February 2023, is required under the contract. The anticipated cost of this payment is $537,000. Funding for this payment is included in the 2023 Adopted Operating Budget. The adopted budget also includes funding to make a $1,000 payment to all permanent full- and part-time city employees. The source of funding for this payment is a surplus in the Premium Stabilization Fund for the city’s life insurance and long-/short-term disability programs. The total cost of these payments, including those to be made under the Fire Supervisors contract, is estimated to be $3.4 million.
The contract includes other changes with fiscal implications as outlined on the attachment to the resolution. The estimated cost of these changes is approximately $12,500 annually and has not been budgeted. City expenses are monitored throughout the year and if necessary, a budget amendment may be offered through the year-end appropriation. The current balance of the Contingent Reserve is $1,900,000. These funds could be used to cover the cost of the contract changes. No additional appropriation is needed at this time to fund the proposed changes.
