Whereas, the resignation of an Iowa City Council member will
leave a remaining term of one full year on the Council;
Whereas, we believe that the democratic process calls for -
maximum citizen participation and representation at all
levels of government;
Whereas, government achieves maximum trust and respect when -
it accords those qualities to the citizens it serves;
Whereas, a dollar amount cannot be assigned to the value of
participatory elections;
Therefore, be it resolved that the Johnson County Democratic
Party recommend to the Iowa City Council that the Council
call for an election for the vacant Council seat, rather
than filling the seat by appointment.

MEMORANDUM
Date: August 22, 1988
To: City Council
From: City Manager
Re: Liquor Licensing
i
Recently the City Council discussed issues associated with the licensing
I
of liquor establishments, in particular, food service requirements and the
actual location of the sale of liquor. There appears to be two issues
pertinent to your decision with respect to liquor license renewals. The
first decision involves the actual licensing of a liquor establishment and
the regulations, procedures, etc. that are applicable. Secondly, the
Council must consider the enforcement of the license regulations and the
general conduct of the business that actually holds the license.
It is not uncommon for communities to require that liquor establishments
provide food service and, additionally, that the licensing authority
require that the business be a responsible citizen and thereby demonstrate
its ability to manage its business and the conduct of its patrons.
Oftentimes bars simply use the Police Department as a means to provide and
isatisfy the inability of the business to provide for the crowd control and
general conduct of patrons. I believe this is a responsibility of the
management of the business. Our Police Department is ready, when
required, to fulfill emergency public safety responsibilities. A liquor
establishment also shares in the responsibility to control and manage the
crowd that frequents their establishment. Those businesses that abuse the
public safety services, i believe, are placing extraordinary demands and
expense on the general public. When it becomes clear that these abuses
are a pattern of behavior, the licensing authority needs to take action to
alleviate those abuses.
The sale of food has often been determined to be a means by which there is
an exercise of some public safety control over liquor establishments.
While serving in another community, liquor establishments were required,
/367
u
P
through the annual licensing inspection, to demonstrate that in fact a
full service kitchen, menu, and staff were available and being maintained
by the liquor establishment. It was difficult, if not impossible, without
review of the business' books, to determine any type of percentage
requirement for food service. It was also determined that some liquor
establishments may indicate that they do not meet the percentage
requirement yet in fact were conducting a responsible business without
burdening public expense. As a suggestion, the City Council may wish to
require businesses to provide and assume the responsibility for food
service in a demonstrated fashion by the inspection process as well as the
maintenance of menus and other staffing as a means to determine whether a
liquor license would be issued or renewed.
The Police Department feels strongly that liquor establishments in a lower
level provides for enforcement difficulties. I agree. However, these
enforcement difficulties are symptomatic of a larger problem with alcohol
abuse and/or the abdication of an establishment's responsibility to
provide for over -consumption and crowd control. It is difficult for a
police officer to "wrestle a drunk" upstairs and off the premises. While
we recognize our responsibility to regulate and license liquor
establishments, the businesses that receive the privilege of a license
must also recognize their responsibility to assure crowd control and
minimize excessive drinking. The requirement of food service is one means
and strict enforcement of rules, regulations and a demonstration by the
business that they do not abuse public services is an additional means.
Hopefully, as we review liquor establishments in the future, it can be
dealt with in the context that all liquor establishments need to satisfy
the specific City requirements and also to demonstrate that they do not
abuse our public services.
Also attached is a memorandum from Dick Boyle that expresses his thoughts.

City of Iowa City
MEMORANDUM
Date: August 12, 1988
To: Stephen J. Atkins, City Manager
From: Richard J. Boyle, First Assistant City Attorney
Re: Liquor Licenses for Establishments not Located on the Ground
Floor
Generally, City Code of Ordinances Section 5-26(b)(6) provides that no
Class C liquor control license or Class B beer permit shall be issued for
any establishment, other than a restaurant, hotel, motel, or private club,
not primarily located on the ground floor of a building. The term
"restaurant" is not defined, but I am informed that when this provision
was adopted (in 1980) it was assumed by staff that to be a restaurant an
establishment had to have at least 50% of its sales in non—alcoholic
items. Fifty percent was then the Iowa Code minimum requirement for
Sunday liquor sales licensees, but that provision has since been repealed
by the State. However, City staff still attempts to enforce the "50%
requirement" in administering Section 5-26(b)(6).
I believe the City Council has four choices regarding the "50% require-
ment." It can -
1. Do nothing, in which case I assume staff would continue to attempt to
enforce the 50% requirement.
2. Repeal the provisions in Section 5-26(b)(6) limiting establishments
to the ground floor.
3. Adopt, by resolution, an administrative rule reducing the 50%
requirement.
4. Amend the City Code to define a restaurant as an establishment having
at least X% of its gross sales in non-alcoholic goods. Obviously,
that percent would be something less than 50.
If Council should choose to reduce the 50% requirement, I believe the
ordinance amendment suggested in item H4 is the better way to proceed,
since administrative rules are not as readily accessible to the public as
the City's ordinances.

Dear Council Members:
I would like to be considered for the City Council position
that will be vacated by Kate Dickson. As you probably know,
I served on the Planning and Zoning Commission for 10 years
(2 years a Chairperson). During my tenure the Comprehensive
Plan and new Zoning Ordinance were developed and passed. I
was on the Ralston Creek Coordinating Committee while the
Flood Plain Ordinance was developed; and on the Environmental
Ad Hoc Committee both as a representive of Planning and
Zoning and later of the General Public.
I ran for an At -Large Council seat in 1983.
At the present time Ism chairperson of the Finance Committee
at St. Andrew Presbyterian Church and am responsible for a
budget in excess of $300,000. I am also on the Board of
Directors of Ecumenical Towers.
In the past I have been President of Longfellow FTA, Chdirperson
of the Johnson County Lung Association and Treasurer of Associated
Professional and Faculty Women.
I am a statistician at the College of Dentistry, married and
have two grown children. I have lived in Iowa City for 29 years.
With this background, I feel that I could be an effective
Council Member immediately.

City Council,
I am pleased to submit my letter of interest for the council member
vacancy left by Kate Dickson's pending resignation.
I have been involved in city government since 1983. I have been an
active participant in two city-wide ballot initiatives, two city commissions, and

management, environmental guidelines for development and open space, and creative
funding/financial management for human service agencies.

Iowa City, Iowa
Please consider my application for the seat on the city council being
vacated by Kate Dickson.
The "conflict of interest" issue which caused me to withdraw from the
election last fall has now been resolved by the Iwo legislature. My
attorney has assured me that my presence on tha council will in no way
affect Streb Construction Co„ Inc. Now that that issue has been put
to rest I am confident that I can be an effective member of the Iowa
City city council.
My background and qualifications are as follows:
Resident of Iowa City for 36 years, married for thirty one years,
mother of eight and long time member of St. Patricks Catholic
Church.
Co-owner and Corporate Secretary of Streb Construction Co., Inc.
Ower/manager of U Store All mini storage ,
Realtor, Williams Realty Company.
1956 graduate of the University of Iowa with a major in accounting.
Served three years an the Iowa City Housing Commission.
All of my children attended the Iowa City public schools.
Genuine caring about the Iowa City community and its residents.
As you can see I have a strong business background which will be helpful
in dealing with the various decisions which must be handled by the council.
Over the years I have dealt with many of the city's departments first
hand and am familiar with many of the building requirements, zoning
regulations, land development requirements and housing in general.
Iowa City is a very unique community with more diversity than most. It
has been good to me and my family for many years and I would be honored
to serve on the city council.

CITY CLERK (3)
Dear Mayor and Councilors,
Please accept this letter as an expression of my interest in filling
the vacancy to be created upon Kate Dickson's departure. I am excited
to have this opportunity, but I regret that it is at the loss of one
OF Iowa City's most dedicated citizens.
I moved to Iowa City in 1982 with no intention of becoming a
permanent resident. Because I have come to enjoy the city so much I
have started to set down roots and take an active interest in helping
to maintain our quality of life. '
Over the past three years the Council has appointed me to the JCCOO
Ad Hoc Transit Committe, the Ad Hoc Committee on City Revenues and
the Committee on Community Needs. I view service to the City on the
Council as an extension of my concern For our future.
Some of my other relevant qualifications include my current
employment as the Accounts Payable Manager for the Serials Department
at the University of Iowa Libraries. Also, I hold an undergraduate
degree in economics. Finally, although I completed my education
before settling in Iowa City, my employment with both hospital and
academic departments has given me a broad understanding of the
University's perspective with respect to the City.
While residing here my changing lifestyles have affored me other,
valuable insights. As a single person I rented a small house in a
working-class neighborhood. I then become a married middle-income
homeowner. Now I am a divorced low-income homeowner and landlord.
Although I lack hands-on planning and zoning experience, I have
followed with interest many of the City's expansion dilemmas. Our
Flagging sewage treatment facility, conflicting views on proper
riverfront maintonence and aging housing stock have made development
problematic.
Finally, should there be a special election, my intentions do not
include seeking office. The long-awaited computerization of the UI
Libraries will not allow me to also serve on the Council and run For
office. I would be interested in campaigning next fall during the
regular election.

The Peace and Social Concerns Committee of the Iowa City
Friends Meeting agreed in its open monthly gathering to
i
encourage the Iowa City Council to appoint Karen Kubby
_ to the vacancy created by Kate Dickson's resignation. For cne
reason, she did receive 43% of the votes in last fall's
election. 2. Her long-term interest in the city's business is
i
verified by her faithful attendance at all regular council
meetings, due to her sincere interest in the welfare of all
of the community. Her continuous service on the CBDG Commission
'Community Blocker Development Grant Comm.) for at least
five years points up her dedication to our needy. 3. She
has been sole director with some volunteers of the weekly ..ednesday
Free Lunch Program. Twould make sense for the Council to make
this appointment at once without the expense of a special
election.

To the Members of the Iowa City Councilt
On behalf of the Iowa City Federation of Labor AFL-CIO, we request
that Karen Kubby be appointed to the vacant seat on the Iowa city
Council.
Karen has demonstrated a deep devotion to and a knowledge of the
issues that face Iowa City.
The citizens of Iowa City have already demonstrated strong support
for Karen, as reflected in the large percentage of voters who sup.
ported her in the most recent election for City Council.
The Iowa City Federation of Labor has endorsed her twice before
because we know she has been and will continue to be a good friend
to the people of Iowa City.
Thankyou for considering Karen for the post.

Dear Mr. Atkins:
Although I do not often agree with the viewpoint of organized Labor, I do
concur with the local AFUCIO, as reported in the Press -Citizen, that Karen
Kubby would be a deserving replacement on the Council for Kate Dickson.
This thought first occured to me when I learned of the vacancy.
I do not know Miss Kubby personally, but she knocked on my door when first
seeking a Council position a few years ago, and I have since read of her and
seen her on local TV. My impression is that she is knowledgable, intelligent -
and interested. I admire her willingness to work at getting elected. We
need that in political life.
I think it would be good if we had some diversity on the Council and Miss
Kubby would be viewed as providing that.
Sincerely,
___F_ , (\Ac -A

Karen Kubby .-!ould be a poor choice to fill the city council
vacancy b=cause she is a socialist. Hitler �!as a socialist
and Stalin was a socialist. Socialists favor the public sector
over the private and are against free enterprize, private property,
and profit. Productive people that contribute to society
prefer not to be robbed by a socialistic government. The
common political denominator of communism and natizism is
socialism.

Honorable Council Members,
In light of the recent resignation of Kate Dickson from the Council,
I would like to express my opinion that the most fair and democratic
manner in which to fill the vacancy would be to hold a free election
for the position. Allow the people of Iowa City to choose the person
they wish to-r'epesent them on the Council.
That said, the fact remains that the current vehicle by which to po-
sition is to be filled is by Council appointment. This being the case,
I would like to voice my support for Karen Kubby as a candidate for
that appointment.
While she was growing up, Karen spent two years with her family in
Iowa City. At that time, she realized that Iowa City was the type of
town where she could settle. Upon graduating from High School, Karen
willfully chose to return to Iowa City to make it her home. She has
been a resident for over 10 years.
Since her arrival in town, Karen has been concerned with and involved
in area politics. She sees Iowa City's potential, she has a vision of
what Iowa City can become.
Karen lives her life in a manner exhibiting great thought and detur-
mined action. She makes it a point to be well informed on a variety
of the issues. She has experience working an committee—experience
working within the current system and with its people. Karen is hard
working and very thorough. She would be a tremendous asset to both the
City Council and Iowa City. She is an excellent choice for the vacant
position.
Respectfully ubm'tted,

IjUl7 ,'
August 3, 1988
This is in reference to ,1,7 n la�l qjgnt you will shortly be making
to round out your ranks now thh e 'fxon has resigned. I believe,
for the following reasons, that you should choose Karen Kubby for this
position.
1. Since Karen has been a candidate twice (I believe) for the
Council, she is a known quantity to us as citizens and to you as Council
members in terms of her commitment to city affairs, her interest in the
Position and her knowledgability on important city issues. These, of
course, are elements common to any candidate, one might argue; however,
they are more forceful points in Karen's favor owing to the seriousness
of her campaign and the fact that she is interested enough to have
conducted two campaigns.
2. Karen's campaign was aimed at somewhat the same constituency as
Jesse Jackson's campaign for the Presidency. And in the most recent
election she showed great strength precisely in those precincts where
low income folks and some minorities live --people who are too often left
out of the political equation in a prosperous and homogeneous community
like our own. But these are people with particular and pressing
political interests, interests which need a voice on the council. Karen
very clearly would provide that voice and do a great deal to keep our
community from fragmenting. Your appointment of Karen would show your
concern that the Council represent underrepresented elements, that it be
a place where diversity can flourish, that it address issues of concern
to all segments of the community, and that you are not making an "old
boys' club" appointment (sorry, Susan!).
3. Appointment is not the democratic solution to the issue of an
empty mid-term seat. The expense of an election may be a valid reason
not to call a special one, but that argument could then be marshalled
against all elections. It seems to me that to appoint a person who in
the most recent election was the next highest vote getter would be at
least a nod in the direction of the electoral process, and would, I
believe be the second most democratic solution.
4. Finally, I think it is important that you choose someone who
has been involved in a recent election, so that we can be assured that
she/he knows the current issues with which you as Council members have
to contend and can be more quickly brought up to speed as a helpful
colleague.
Thanks for considering these pointe. In any case, good luck in
making this important decision.
Sincerely,
}be �

From: Rosemary Vitosh, Director of Finance
Re: Financial Report, Year Ending June 30, 1988
FY88 proved to be an excellent year financially for the City. Not only
were expenditures generally below budget, but revenues exceeded budget
estimates. Both factors result in a favorable impact on year-end fund
balances.
We typically budget revenues conservatively due to our lack of control
over state revenues and our strictly regulated revenue programs. In
fiscal year 1988 revenues have exceeded estimates in almost all
categories. This provides an opportunity to improve our reserve balance
position. The result will be a more stable financial future which can
provide us flexibility in meeting future capital needs in addition to
providing a hedge against emergency and unanticipated costs.
GENERAL FUND
At year-end, revenues exceeded budget by 3.4% as shown in the following
chart.
Property taxes came in higher than budget for two reasons. First, this
was the initial year for the personal property tax replacement payment
from the State. We did use a conservative estimate for budget purposes
since there was much confusion over how the replacement formula would
work. Actual personal property replacement revenue totaled $324,983 which
was $165,000 over the original budget projection. The FY89 budget
estimate for personal property tax replacement is expected to be very
close to actual revenues.
Secondly, regular property tax collections were up due to the higher than
average payment of current taxes and delinquent past years' taxes.
Typically, the payment of delinquent taxes and current tax collections

Property taxes came in higher than budget for two reasons. First, this
was the initial year for the personal property tax replacement payment
from the State. We did use a conservative estimate for budget purposes
since there was much confusion over how the replacement formula would

estimate for personal property tax replacement is expected to be very
close to actual revenues.
Secondly, regular property tax collections were up due to the higher than
average payment of current taxes and delinquent past years' taxes.
Typically, the payment of delinquent taxes and current tax collections
13 7a
come close to the actual tax levy for the year, but in FY88, they totaled
$9,207,507 which was over our levied tax amount by 1% ($312,000).
Licenses and permits revenues were overbudget by 4.9% ($16,900). Both
rental permits and building permits were over budget ($13,000 and $3,600,
respectively).
Fines and forfeitures came in at 11.7% over budget ($41,000). Parking
ticket fines and magistrate court collections were $61,500 over budget
while Library fines were $21,000 under budget. At the beginning of the
fiscal year, the Library fine revenue was anticipated to be substantially
under budget. Therefore, the Library did hold its expenditures below
budget to compensate for this anticipated revenue shortfall.
Charges for Services ended the fiscal year at 11.7% in excess of budget
projections. Those charges which came in substantially higher than budget
included Recreation program fees ($60,000) and plan check fees ($33,500).
State revenues exceeded budget by 9.9%. The following chart shows a more
detailed breakdown.

Liquor profits were budgeted at the League of Iowa Municipalities'
estimate since the impact of private liquor store ownership had still not
been determined. Fortunately, actual revenues came in higher than our
budget projection. Bank Franchise Tax typically varies greatly from year
to year. The State will not provide any information which can be used to
analyze and project the annual revenue, therefore our budget projections
are based upon the average of past years' revenues. Municipal Assistance
was slightly under our budget projection.
Hotel/Motel tax came in 11% over budget. Dollars received from this tax
have increased substantially since its implementation in Iowa City in
1983. The first full year of tax revenues in FY84 brought in $99,127. In
FY86, the first full year which included tax revenue from the downtown
Holiday Inn, total hotel/motel tax amounted to $210,542. FY88 tax
collections were in excess of $240,000. This works out to an annual
average increase of 36% since implementation of the tax four years ago.
Use of Money and Property primarily consists of interest income. Interest
was budgeted at $100,400 and actual interest receipts were 29.7% over
budget ($130,170). This higher return on investment is attributable to
higher actual fund balances than originally projected due to high property
tax collections and a deferral of the risk management transfer to the loss
reserve ($352,000) until year end.
1370

Miscellaneous revenue also exceeded budget due to some unanticipated
receipts. The City's share of the FICA refund for FICA withheld
unnecessarily on sick leave during FY79-81 amounted to $14,000 and the
court settlement in the Police Retirement Subrogation resulted in $19,400
being reimbursed to General Fund for past years' medical costs and sick
leave payments.
Transfers -in was below budget for three reasons. First, the actual
transfer of Road Use Tax monies for Streets and Traffic Engineering was
below budget since those divisions' actual expenditures were below budget
by more than $170,000. Second, all CDBG funding for Aid to Agencies was
not transferred into the General Fund because all budgeted allocations
have not yet been paid out to the agencies; these payments will be
concluded in FY89 ($30,000). Third, transfers from the Parks and Recrea-
tion reserves for capital improvement items were not made at the full
appropriated amount ($65,000) for the City Park tennis court improvements
and the Mercer Park ball diamond improvements; these will be finished next
year.
The chart below shows actual expenditures as compared to budget for the
fiscal year. The first part of the chart shows payment actually paid out
for expenditures as of June 30, 1988. It does not include encumbrances
(payables and/or items ordered prior to year end but not yet paid for) or
carryovers (major expenditures budgeted for but not purchased by year end
which are now scheduled for purchase in FY89). After encumbrances and
estimated carryovers are added, total expenditures increased to
$16,347,789 which is 95.6% of total budget.
Adding encumbrances and carryovers to the Administration actual expendi-
tures, brings total expenses to approximately $1.1 million or 94% of
budget.
Public Works is below budget because three divisions' actual expenditures
were substantially less than budget. Engineering is below budget by
$53,000 due to the chargeback of salary costs to various capital improve -

ment projects. Streets is below budget by $152,000. And, Traffic
Engineering is below budget by $30,000. All other Public Works Divisions
finished the fiscal year with actual expenditures at 97% of budget.
Parks and Recreation is below budget by $183,000. This is due to expendi-
tures being below budget in the following divisions: CBD Maintenance
($17,000), Recreation ($88,600), Parkland Acquisition Reserve ($64,600).
Loans for two projects were not loaned in full from the Parkland Acquisi-
tion Reserve. It is anticipated that this money will be loaned out during
FY89.
The Recreation Division had a successful year financially. Not only did
their expenditures come in below budget, but their recreation program
revenue came in over budget. Although some of the reduced expenditure is
due to the delay in the opening of the Mercer Pool (budgeted for opening
April 1, 1988), that does not account for the entire variance. The
Recreation staff needs to be commended for they now appear to be back in
control of their financial status.
Risk Management came in under budget by $300,000. Available monies
amounting to $340,000 were intentionally not transferred to the Loss
Reserve at year-end in order to provide funding for the insurance premiums
which are payable in early July. This action avoids using the General
Fund balance to pay insurance premiums until property tax revenues are
received.

Our most recent projections showed the year-end pure fund balance at 9% of
the next year's (FY90) expenditures. Our actual FY88 pure fund balance
will instead be 12% of the next year's expenditures. It is even more
encouraging to see that our annual revenues exceeded annual expenditures
in FY88. This is a very positive indication of financial stability and is
something which has not typically been achieved in past years.
ENTERPRISE OPERATING FUNDS
All enterprise funds, with the exception of one, exceeded their revenue
budget estimates for FY88. The following page details out revised budget
estimates and actual receipts and expenditures in addition to showing
beginning and year end fund balances for each enterprise fund. Please
note that the revised budget estimate for expenditures is the actual
amended budget while the revised budget estimate for revenues is based

amend revenue budgets for revised estimates and that is why I am not
comparing budget figures with actual revenues as of year-end.
1. Parking:
The Parking Systems ended the year with revenues at 3% over
estimated revenues. This is due primarily to the increase in paid
hours of parking being above estimates. Those parking hours did
increase 5% over FY87 as illustrated by the bar chart below.
Expenditures totaled 91% of budget. However, two large dollar
acquisitions were ordered during the year but were not paid for by
year end ($56,000 for parking ticket writer equipment and $30,000 for
new doors and painting in the Capitol Street Parking Ramp).
Including the encumbered amount for these purchases, total expendi-
tures amount to 96% of budget.

The Capitol.Street Parking Ramp started operations in FY80 and the
Dubuque Street Parking Ramp opened in January, 1981. The decresae in
hours in FY86 is felt to be partially due to the rate increase that
was implemented at the beginning of the year.
2. Pollution Control:
Revenues have been running above budget all year long. Actual
charges for services are 11% above our revised budget estimate while
interest income came in 7% higher than budget estimates. Expendi-
tures came in very close to budget. It should be noted that expendi-
tures did include a transfer of funds to the Improvement Reserve
amounting to $1.3 million. This transfer did fund the reserve to its
maximum required amount and was planned for as part of the financing
package put together for the Wastewater Treatment Facility Project
and the scheduled rate increases. Excluding this transfer from
expenditures brings total expenditures down to $4 million which is
below the annual revenue amount. It is our goal to have each fund's
annual revenues exceed annual expenditures.
3. Water:
Revenues in Water have also been running above budget estimates
throughout the fiscal year. As discussed in past interim financial
reports, water consumption is higher than original projections. At
the end of the fiscal year, water had several outstanding
encumbrances for expenditures amounting to approximately $64,000. In
addition, the budgeted transfer of funding from operations for the
new water computer system had not been made in full. Had all
encumbrances been paid before the end of the fiscal year and the full
transfer for the water computer system made by year end, actual
expenditures would have been 99% of total budget.
4. Refuse Collection:
Both revenues and expenditures for refuse came in very close to
budget estimates.
5. Landfill:
Revenues were slightly over budget while expenditures came in under
budget.
6. Airport:
Revenues came in very close to budget although they were slightly
under budget. The expenditures were below budget by almost 28%.
This was due to the fact that the Airport Manager position was vacant
for several months during the last half of the fiscal year and many
scheduled work projects were not completed.

7. Transit Operations:
Transit ended the fiscal year in good financial condition. Revenues
exceeded budget projections by 4% while expenditures were lower than
budget projections by almost 5%. Ridership again declined during the
fiscal year by 16%. Ridership peaked in FY83 and has since declined
a total of 62%. The following bar graph shows the changes in
ridership from FY76 through the current fiscal year.

Fare revenue was originally projected at $725,000 for FY88. Approximately
nine months ago, when the FY89 Budget was being prepared, the fare revenue
projection for FY88 was revised downward to $633,000. Transit ended the
year with total fare revenues of $640,000. Fortunately, though, other
revenues exceeded budget by approximately $65,000. Those revenues over
budget were state and federal transit assistance ($30,000), interest
income ($17,000), property taxes ($15,000), and miscellaneous revenue
($6,000). The additional revenue generated by these other revenues came
close to but did not quite make up the reduction in fare revenue as
compared to FY87 when total fares brought in $726,000 for the fiscal year.
Expenditures were underbudget primarily due to three line items. Bus
maintenance costs were $30,000 below budget. $30,000 budgeted originally
for unemployment compensation for eliminated positions resulting from the
service reductions was not utilized as those position reductions were
handled through attrition. Also, the contingency budget amount of
approximately $30,000 was not needed by Transit.
The bus maintenance chargebacks has been set up on a direct cost alloca-
tion system. In other words, Transit is directly reimbursing the Equip-
ment Maintenance Division for actual costs spent on bus maintenance. This
was implemented during the fiscal year and the chargebacks paid by Transit
do reflect actual costs for the entire fiscal year. Chargebacks for bus
maintenance in FY87 amounted to $524,000 while FY88's direct cost alloca-
tion amounted to $469,000. Part of this reduction is attributable to the
service reductions made at the beginning of FY88 and part of the reduction
results from the fact that the newer buses are less costly to operate and
maintain than were the older buses previously used by Transit.
