Governmental:

Police: Underspend is caused by vacancies across the agency for $816k and underspend on OT of $92k. Timing variances for computer software $92k, and $76k for computer hardware. $81k of equipment has not yet been purchased. Note that fuel is currently $20k over budget, and this is expected to stay over budget.

Community Services: Community Services overall positive balance is due mostly to $1.8M underspend in personnel costs due to timing of hourly hires, vacancies, and frozen positions; $2.0M in Purchased Property Services – timing of payments and contracts primarily in Cultural Services and Natural Areas; $0.9M in Purchased Prof & Tech – timing of invoices and artist payments throughout Community Services.

PDT: $2.4M in personnel due to frozen/vacant positions ($2.4M in personnel offset by $425k hiring freeze for net of $2M). $1.4M in Streets/traffic maintenance work due to timing of invoices & weather delays. $793k in fuel and vehicle maintenance due to running reduced routes in Transfort and fewer repairs in other areas/timing of repairs in other areas. $586k due to billable projects delayed or cancelled due to weather or budget constraints. $320k in building and land maintenance due to timing of invoices

IES: IES underspend is primarily tied to HR Benefits $3.3M in YTD Medical and Dental claims underspend with Fund balance still $1M to the good, $2M in encumbrances of Ops Services in-progress projects, maintenance, and planned capital projects, $819 in YTD Stop Loss premium savings from lasered claimants, $417 under CPIO for Ft. Collins Visitor’s Bureau annual Lodging Tax disbursement, and $319 in YTD energy savings and timing of billing.

Sustainability: $1,225 timing variance for the URA Mall commitments.  Estimated to be up to $500k under budget by year-end due to a reduction in the property tax last year for a property in the Mall URA.  Currently, just behind of calendarized payment schedule.    $620k variance for the Small Business Relief Fund administered through an agreement with the City and the County.   We intentionally overestimated the allocation to ensure we would not have to go back later to change the appropriation. Any un-used appropriation may be frozen in October unless any changes from the State Legislature changing the program to let us use the balance differently.  $157k timing variance for Economic Rebates.  Behind calendarized schedule, will self-correct by year-end.  $87k timing variance for seasonal overflow shelter.  Contracts will be drafted and signed prior to year-end, self-correcting the variance.  $80k timing variance for Disposable Bag Program.  2021 allocation was calendarized in May, expenses will vary and are pending through year-end. No year-end value, as appropriation was estimated.  Actuals and revenue will balance year-end, netting in no savings
