BACKGROUND: As a result of the former City Manager's departure, the Administrative Services Department has incurred unanticipated costs above our current budget. While a new City Manager is being recruited, we estimate that our department will incur $15,000 in "Acting Pay" for the Acting City Manager, Acting Administrative Services Director and Acting Administrative Services Deputy Director. We have also already incurred $5,000 of additional contract accounting services utilized to fill staffing shortfalls during this time period. Although no additional contract services are anticipated at this time, service levels to other departments have been reduced as a result of our position juggling. There have been no prior budget amendments to these accounts in the current and prior fiscal year. However, related to this matter, one budget amendment in the amount of $22,500 was adopted October 12, 1998, to fund the recruitment of the new City Manager by Shannon and Associates to account 0612 -8080 (Human Resources - Professional Technical Services).
