Oregon Local Budget Law (ORS 294.471) allows for supplemental budgets in the event of “an occurrence or condition that is not ascertained when preparing the original budget or a previous supplemental budget for the current year or current budget period and that requires a change in financial planning.” ORS 294.471 also allows for a supplemental budget if there are “funds that are made available by another unit of federal, state or local government and the availability of which could not reasonably be foreseen when preparing the original budget.” This Supplemental Budget does not authorize any increase in the property tax levy and has been published in compliance with the Oregon Local Budget Law. BACKGROUND This Supplemental Budget recognizes new revenues and authorizes changes in legal levels of appropriations for the current fiscal year (FY19). A summary of items included in this Supplemental Budget is presented below: General Fund • Recognize $247,680 in additional Charges for Services revenue related to State conflagration fire responses and increase the Fire and Emergency Medical Services Department operating appropriation by same amount. • The Medic 10 Advance Life Support ambulance medic unit was initially funded with one-time funds for an 18-month period. This supplemental budget request is a one-time transfer of $282,100 from the General Fund’s Reserve for Revenue Shortfall to the Ambulance Transport Fund to provide funding for eight recruits for this unit. The department anticipates that ongoing salary and employee expenses associated with the additional personnel will be offset by lower overtime rates. Medic 10 is not included in the Community Safety Initiative bridge or ongoing funding.
