6 Fire Budget The FY 2014 Recommended General Fund Budget of $38,823,622 is $12,560 or percent lower than the FY 2013 Revised Budget. The decrease is the result of Managed Savings of $470,000 that is planned for the upcoming year as well as the transfer of 2.00 FTEs from the General Fund to the Building Services fund. General Liability decreased significantly as a large, prior claim is now concluded. Services and Supplies decreased by 11.7 percent due to the removal of one-time, grant-related expenditures and by moving funds to begin equipment replacement funding and an additional $185,000 of reductions in Services & Supplies. All additional changes are the result of non-discretionary cost calculations for contract related personnel expenses and Internal Service charges.
