SIGNIFICANT BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Increase in personnel is due to normal salary increases.
  • Increase in Inter-Departmental charges ($102,589) is due to the annual charge back for maintenance, the increased number of vehicles in the fleet and higher school bus replacement costs.
  • The increase in FTEs reflects a transfer of two positions to the Schools Vehicle Repair Section from the County Vehicle Repair Section. In FY 2005, the salaries of the two positions were charged to the Schools budget.
