2019 Proposed Budget: Follow Up
Body
Presented By:
Tiffany Hooten, Finance Director
Council met September 11th and 12th to review the proposed budget. This is the follow up to those meetings and includes the items originally scheduled for the 25th and items added to the "parking lot". The agenda for this meeting includes several topics that will each be addressed separately for the remainder of this staff communication.
Local Partnership Funding
Each year the Littleton City Council considers requests for discretionary grants, historically from nonprofit organizations that serve Littleton residents, and awards the grants to the organizations during the budget process; for additional information, visit https://www.littletongov.org/connect-with-us/city-leadership/nonprofit-discretionary-grants. In the past, there have been limited parameters set around these grants and the process has been nebulous. This year we have reviewed the policies and processes of other municipalities, and are recommending council consider the attached policy recommendations, which are aligned closely with past practice.

Fire Administrative Support Update
The city administratively supports the fire services partnership, which is ending in 2019. Departments currently providing support include City Manager, City Attorney, Human Resources, Finance, Building Maintenance, Information Technology, and Communications. This totaled approximately $900,000 in 2017. The 2019 budget has reduced this amount by half. This reduction includes two full time employees (FTEs) rentals, postage, software, and insurance costs. Next steps include evaluation of impacts throughout 2019 and 2020 as well as the application of priority based budgeting, which may lead to reallocation of resources.
