  16. NYS Comptroller's Office just released the results of an audit of the current fiscal budget for Yonkers. Below are the sections pertaining to Police and Fire. Entire report can be found here: http://yonkerstribune.typepad.com/files/nys-comproller-thomas-dinapolis-yonkers-mid-year-budget-review.pdf Police Overtime As part of our budget review process, the City submitted documentation to show why the $9.7 million budget was sufficient. To reduce overtime costs, the City planned, among other actions, to fill 40 vacant positions with new officers in July 2009 and have them available for police duty six months later. However, the City has filled only 21 of those positions. Since the City has already expended its entire 2009-10 budget for police overtime, and has not completed all the actions it stated it would take to reduce overtime, we believe that police overtime could be as much as $6.8 million more than budgeted. Our estimate assumes that overtime will continue at the same pace it was incurred during the first six months of the fiscal year. We also adjusted this estimate for both the savings derived from the availability of the 21 new officers and reimbursements for police overtime incurred, but not yet paid for. Fire Overtime As part of our 2009-10 budget review, the City also submitted documentation showing why the $5.3 million it proposed was sufficient to fund fire overtime in 2009-10. The City planned, among other actions, to fill 21 vacant positions with new firefighters and have them available six months later. The City has actually filled 34 positions. While the additional 13 positions may help the City avoid some fire overtime costs, the associated salary costs were not budgeted, so salaries have increased by approximately $583,000. Since the City has already expended all but $900,000 of the 2009-10 fire overtime budget, we believe that overtime expenditures will likely be about $3.5 million more than budgeted. The City’s own estimates indicate that appropriations for the police and fire departments are insufficient. As such, the City must take actions to prevent expenditures from exceeding appropriations. Conclusion Given the City’s nearly exhausted financial resources and the continuing uncertainty of the economy, the City has very few options to use in dealing with these issues. The City should act quickly to close the budget gap. We urge City officials to implement stringent fiscal oversight and strict controls over the next six months to prevent further deterioration of the City’s financial condition.
