Subject: Calendar Year 2011 comparison for the Village and Town, focussed on the Village General and the Town A & B budgets.

As Sally indicated, here is my first cut at the Calendar Year 2011 budget comparison for the Village and Town, focussed on the Village General and the Town A & B budgets.  These are the numbers culled from those budgets from Sally and me.

You will see notes on the right margin and the rest of the spreadsheet sorts revenues and expenditures by New York State Code.  I have tried to list on the same line budget items for all three budgets that have the same NYS Code. 

To be sure, some codes appear only in the Village Budget, but not the Town Budget; or in the Town Budget, but not the Village Budget; or in the Village Budget and in the Town A, but not the Town B, or vice versa.

I have highlighed in YELLOW items that appear in all three budgets, and in BLUE those items in one of the Town Budgets and the Village Budget.

Study of these numbers, plus the important question of headcounts per task or department, should form the basis for our Model Budget.  Conceptually, that final document will come together by reasoning what a merged budget would show for these 2011 numbers -- and then adjusting that for the cost differences expected in 2014 (or c2015, if that's the year we pick).

I will fill in more Code descriptions in the next draft and am also planning to integrate the relevant CY 2011 Town numbers into the CY 2011 Village Budget numbers and format furnished to me by Nancy Branco.

Thanks.

Ross

Here are all the merged Town/Village I have done.

Ross will send the Village General and Town A & B

Ira has the spreadsheet of salaries by name and dept. I think if we apply plus 30% (?) we will have the benefits as well.

Susan in doing all of this Ross and I have several concerns which I think only you will know the answers to. The Comptroller reported that for 2010 the Town had 74full-time, 42 part-time and 51 seasonal employees. Yet the 2011 annual financial report shows only 47 full-time and 28 part-time paying into the state retirement system. In order to figure this out could you bring a copy of July, 2012 's monthly report to the State Retirement System.

Also, the Fund Balance year end 2011 seems high, could you bring a copy of the Town's bank statement covering all accounts.

Could you bring a copy of the Town's police building rental contract with C2(whatever its name is).

Do you have and can you bring the Town's 2012 budget and worksheets?

Since the annual report does not have any notes with it could you find out or do you know what the big $ amt. is for in the Trust and Agency acct.?

Thanks.
