2- Building Repairs (-$1,500.00) is being decreased because for most, if not all <br /> of FY0910, building repairs will be covered by warranties for the new Animal <br /> Services Center. <br /> 3- Duplicating and printing (-$775.00) based on the purchase of a new color <br /> printer that will allow us to produce forms and brochures in house. <br /> 4- Postage- (-$200.00) should be a service reductions from all three divisions <br /> being in the same location. <br /> 5-Telephone (-$3,000.00) is being reduced due to a decreased number of phone <br /> and fax lines and the purchase of a smarter, more cost efficient telephone <br /> system for the new facility. <br /> 6-Contract services (-$1,000.00) are being decreased because we will be <br /> reducing the number of copiers that we currently have from three to one or two <br /> (depending on the penalties imposed by our lease agreements). <br /> 7- Spay/Neuter Funds-An overall reduction of$2000 (Spay/Neuter Veterinary <br /> Services) is being made given the realignment of resources from spay/neuter line <br /> item in the FY0809 budget to cover the costs of the services needed to perform <br /> in-house sterilization via the FY0910 budget. <br /> S-2 Proposal (Provide a brief description of the service change) <br /> Operational reductions not tied to service reductions <br /> S-2 Fiscal Impact (This number should correspond to the amount included <br /> on the department's budget request excel spreadsheet) <br /> $15,439.00 <br /> S-2 Description — Describe, in detail, the service delivery impact of the <br /> proposed reduction/change. <br /> 1-Travel, Training and Certifications (-$12,118.00)-These are significant <br /> reductions in regard to staff training and development. However, it is expected <br /> that appropriated training monies will be used in new ways to ensure basic <br /> training and continuing staff development. These include bringing trainers to <br /> Animal Services (as opposed to sending staff to conferences) and using <br /> emergent electronic technologies and training opportunities such as "webinars"in <br /> a more deliberate and systematic manner. <br /> 2-Office Supplies (-$1,000.00)-ltems that we currently purchase in order to <br /> maintain a well organized and professional filing system for the department will <br /> be reduced and more effort will be devoted to making operations and procedures <br /> "paperless." One step in this direction will be a reduction in the number of <br /> printers, and if possible, the use of only networked printers. <br /> 3-Capital$250.00 (-$500.00)-We have preserved equipment repair funds but <br /> reduced this item, recognizing that if necessary we may need to realign other <br /> funds to replace aging or broken equipment(until such time as recurrent capital <br /> items again may be budgeted). <br /> 78 <br />
