General Government
Appropriations for the General Government function increased by $207K. The increase is mostly attributed to
maintenance costs of WIFI operations within the Information Technology department.

Public Safety
Departmental budgets comprising the public safety function have increased by $548K. The increase can be
attributed to various capital outlay requests with the most significant requests attributable to the Police and Fire
Departments, amounting to $505K and $60K, respectively. A slight decrease in anticipated costs for Covid-19
Pandemic response can be attributed for the difference.

Highways and Streets
Highways and streets are budgeted with an increase of $638K. The increase is due to $151K in electricity costs for
Street Lights and the restoration of various accounts that were reduced to offset the budget shortfall in FY 2020
due to the Covid-19 Pandemic.
