GENERAL FUND
Finance
Finance is requesting the replacement of the Financial Administrator (grade 11), who is retiring at the end of Jun(
with a Financial Analyst position (grade 9). The headcount would remain the same, however budget is needed fc
six months of salary and benefits for the new position. The purpose of adding this position is to improve the inter

Public Works
The Buttermilk Parking Management Plan will be in effect from April through November, dividing the County-own(
parking lot into four sections: (A) 24-hour free parking for transit users; (B) 96-hour permit vehicle parking;
(C) 5-day commercial/construction staging; and (D) free day-use trailhead parking.
The City of Aspen will monitor and enforce parking designations. The County will pay for capital improvements a
half the cost of a City-employed parking attendant. Permit and meter revenue will be split between the City and tl •
County, while ticket revenue will go entirely to the County. Revenue is expected to cover the costs of the prograr

Community Development
It has long been a desire of Community Development to have all documents scanned in order to have informatior
easily accessible to the public in electronic format and in order to save valuable office space. Advancing this proj
before moving into the new Sheriff/Admin building will save approximately $200,000 in construction costs to creat
a file storage area. It will also create efficiencies for staff, with less time needed to access files.

This request is to refurbish the data closet in the Schultz Health & Human Services building. It requires
reconfiguring the patch panels, removing the old chrome blocks and reterminating all the cables into the
new patch panels. On-going changes in Public Health and Human Services staff require changes to
phone and computer connections. The current state of the data closet makes these changes extremely
difficult and time consuming.

The 2017 budget includes the cost of replacing the current Airport fuel tank with a larger capacity tank.
Responses to the County's RFP for the tank replacement made it clear that additional site preparations are
needed to meet State and local requirements. This supplemental request increases the budget to cover
the additional costs. A fuel tank with adequate capacity for airfield, fire-fighting, and landside vehicles is
a top priority for the Airport, especially during winter months when deliveries can be delayed.

MULTI-FUND REQUESTS
Human Services and Public Health are requesting a full-time shared Finance Specialist position to track payment
and receipts, analyze technical budgetary information, help build core contract and grant budgets, manage grant
reporting, ensure fiscal compliance including State audits, explore new funding and blending of current funding,
evaluate financial trends, and complete reporting requirements. The Budget Director no longer has time to adeqt
complete these tasks with the addition of a County Public Health department and the increasing complexity of
Human Services funding. Revenue sources exist in each fund to cover a portion of the cost, and it is expected th
a dedicated position will be able to maximize future resources, covering a greater percentage of the cost.

1) PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND FISCAL IMPACT:
In 2016 Airport and Fleet Staff worked together to identify single point failures. The Airport equipment fuel site was deemed
as the highest vulnerability and most important operational need during winter months to keep equipment fueled. The current
tanks are undersized and a more concerning issue is a single point failure situation. The external containment wall is also
compromised leaving only the internal wall as the safety net. No fuel leaks have occurred. A budget of$110,000 was proposed
and approved for the 2017 Budget.
In March of 2017 Staff put out an RFP, all the responses came in above budget, due to unforeseen site limitations with
setbacks from the tank, and additional site preparations needed to meet state and local requirements.We are recommending to
increase the budget for this project so it can get completed in 2017 as planned.

1) PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND FISCAL IMPACT:
The public parking area at Buttermilk is underutilized from April to December each year. There are a number of possible changes
to how this lot could be managed and capital improvements that could be made to improve Roaring Fork Valley mobility, while
increasing overall use and effectiveness of the parking facility.
According to the City of Aspen, the capital improvements required(signs and meters)is not expected to exceed$10,000. A 50
percent allocation of a parking attendant for seven months would cost$15,773. The current proposal with the City would
share meter and permit revenue 50/50 and the County would receive 100%of parking ticket revenue
Provided an operational scenario where 25 percent of parking area B and 30 percent of parking area C are used throughout the
summer season, total parking revenue(less ticket revenue)would be$48,500. The City of Aspen would receive half of this
revenue. Net revenue for the County after expenses would be $8477. Keep in mind, the financial aspects of this program
are not the catalyst for this proposal. This program would be put in place to attempt to fill a community need and more fully
utilize an existing County asset.

1) PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND FISCAL IMPACT:
The objective of scanning our files is to save space and to make files easily accessible to the public via computer. Scanned
files are then stored offsite, which frees up floor space otherwise occupied by these files. If files are not scanned Community
Development cannot move to a new location unless there is adequate file space. We are including Environmental Health in our
estimates for Community Development.
We have estimated our existing file volume as follows(amounts are in linear feet):
Files on shelves=256.41 LF •
Files in binders=91 LF(this is an estimate of the paper contained in binders
Files in banker boxes=50.25 LF •
Files in file drawers=49 LF •
Total Linear Feet of Files:446.66
Scanning costs include additional trip charges to return paper files to a designated location (we can't destroy until files are
confirmed and archived with the state), a much larger volume of higher priced plats,file organizing services needed, binders and
spiral notebooks at additional cost, varying media that increases overall cost. Indexing the scanned documents would add an
additional 40%to the cost.
Cost/Benefit Analysis: Investing in this scanning project now is wise...due to savings in the new office location, staff time
savings, the benefits of having on-line access, and to ensure the integrity of these collections into the future. If we wait, we
will spend more to maintain these hybrid (hard copy/electronic)collections, than we'd spend on scanning them.
•Creating storage for the hard copy files in the new building would add approximately$25,000-$30,000 in construction
costs (assuming space, floor load, shelving, etc.).
•Com Dev can save staff time with a fully digitized collection. They are managing their collections in hybrid media (hard
copy/scanned image). Staff spends extra time to determine a document's storage media and location. When in
hard copy they must pull, copy, reproduce, and refile hard copies(which can be fraught with human error).
•Com Dev also stores historic documents in poor environmental conditions(outdoor containers)at Public Works(e.g., •
original airport plans). If we don't scan these, these records could be lost.
2) STRATEGIC PLAN GOAL(S)ADVANCED:
Conserved natural resources and environment: Ease of access to public information, limiting travel to Corn Dev Offices by
customers. Space requirements for Corn Dev files to be available to staff minimized.
Responsibly maintained and enhanced County assets: Managing file archiving to meet State of Colorado Archive requirements.

1) PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND FISCAL IMPACT:
The Engineering Department is involved with many projects. Between planning, design and construction and participation on
other County Teams it can be difficult to inspect projects all the time. An engineering student intern will be able to give us
competent boots on the ground without the expense of getting a consultant. This would be a paid internship ($15/hour) for an
engineering student. The County would be able to give very valuable experience to the student on projects in various portions of
their life(planning, engineering, and construction)and this can be an accredited program.
Community Development budgeted for a summer intern but will not fill the position and is willing to transfer their budget for the
Engineering intern.
2) STRATEGIC PLAN GOAL(S)ADVANCED:
This program can further our commitment to the Flourishing Natural&Built Environment by ensuring responsibly maintained and
enhanced County assets and add to the ease of mobility via safe and efficient transportation systems by ensuring our engineering
projects are run smoothly. Staff is on site to discuss issues with contractors and can add a fresh perspective to the problems at
hand.

equivalent of 74 hours of what the County would get using consultant work.

1) PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND FISCAL IMPACT:

Finance is requesting the replacement of the Financial Administrator(grade 11),who is retiring at the end of June,with a Financial
Analyst position(grade 9).The headcount would remain the same however budget is needed for six months of salary and benefits
for the new position as the 2017 budget included funds only for the Financial Administrator.
The purpose of adding this position is to improve the internal control environment, provide oversight and back-up to critical
functions such as payroll which does not exist, and perform accounting functions which,due to the increase in workload, are not
being completed adequately or in a timely fashion.
The number of transactions processed by Finance has increased 29% since 2010 while the headcount of the department has
been reduced by 2 FTE or 25%. Transactions have become increasingly complex as have associated reporting requirements •
and compliance with state and federal laws e.g. debt service, facility construction, additional employee benefits, ACA impacts,
and so on.As the workload has increased,the ability to meet demand in other areas has suffered due to insufficient staff.These
areas include: back-up and cross training for all functions; the internal control environment (segregation of duties); compliance
with new and existing finance related laws and regulations; professional development and training of staff and; time to develop
and implement improvements.
Comparison with peer organizations (Garfield and Eagle counties) which have similar budgets, more modern ERP's and
processes, less complex payrolls and revenue streams, and less special revenue funds (Library, OST, GID's, etc.) shows that
they each have 1-3 more finance staff than Pitkin and,when combined with the Treasurer's function,4-9 more employees.
Moving forward, as we process more complex and larger transactions, such as the potential airport expansion, and aim to
modernize the organization and bring efficiencies to bear, it is important to ensure the department has capacity to complete its
current workload and provide satisfactory internal controls. Additionally, with the implementation of a replacement ERP
anticipated in the next two years,the department must be in a strong position going in.Much work needs to be completed before
starting this process.
Fiscal Impact:
The full year cost of the position with benefits is $95,566; this request is for five months, anticipating an August start date. The
addition of this position will reduce costs of overtime and comp pay incurred by other Finance staff.At the end of the first quarter
of 2017 Finance's overtime and comp time budget is at 112%for the entire year. Previous years'overtime paid is equivalent to •
60%of the requested position salary.
Increased work done on use tax will be captured from the Sales and Use Tax Fund through the cost allocation process.Although
difficult to quantify at this point,in general terms,it can be said that insufficient work is being performed in the collection and audit
of use tax, and with an increase in this work both revenues and cost recuperation will increase. There is a one year time lag in
recuperating use tax costs through the cost allocation plan. Off-setting revenues will be included in the 2018 budget.
2) STRATEGIC PLAN GOAL(S)ADVANCED:
Prosperous economy: 3. High performing county leaders, teams and employees, 4. Responsible and accountable stewardship
of county assets.

6) ALTERNATIVE ANALYSIS
We have considered the potential alternative to outsource the payroll function and redeploy existing staff to other needs,
however this is significantly more expensive and does not provide a complete solution in addressing the other needs of the
department. Thus there is no alternative but to replace the position since,for all the reasons mentioned above,the current
situation is unsustainable

1) PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND FISCAL IMPACT:
This supplemental request is to carry forward a 2016 budget line item which was missed in the budget carryforward resolution
approved in April.
The creation of Aspen Family Connections was approved in July 2016 with funding coming from the State Collaborative
Management Plan (CMP)incentives, Human Services fund balance,and Healthy Community Fund balance. The budget for the
full 3-year pilot program was appropriated up front,with funds for years two and three of the pilot carried forward into 2017. The
carryforward occurred for CMP incentives and Human Services funding, but not for the Healthy Community Fund portion. This
supplemental request carries forward the missing piece.

1) PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND FISCAL IMPACT:
Network equipment in the Data Closet at the Human Services building has developed over time organically, not according to any
overall technology plan. Adding, changing, and deleting network connections for phones and computers has reached the point
where it is extremely difficult and takes far too long. This requires reconfiguring the patch panels, removing the old chrome
blocks and reterminating all the cables into the new patch panels.

Project/Service Name: Human Services/Public Health Finance
Specialist Work Session Date: June 27, 2017
Department: Finance Budget Year: 2017
Request Type: Adjustment to Operations Adjustment Type: Change to Annual Budget
Fund: Human Services/Public Health
Staff Responsible: Nan Sundeen/Karen Prepared By: Nan Sundeen/Karen Koenemann
Koenemann/Connie Baker
Budget Staff Review-Name: Connie Baker Date: 6/14/17
1) PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND FISCAL IMPACT:
Connie Baker has been the finance"specialist" for Health and Human Services and has done a stellar job. Debe Nelson
has been responsible for tracking some minimal public health revenues but she is retiring soon. In the past 5 years, both
Public Health and Human Services revenues/expenditures and programming have grown dramatically demanding more
time and technical expertise to conduct complicated bookkeeping, maximizing revenues and accurately reflecting
expenditures in state software programs. Both Public Health and Human Services receive a variety of allocations, grants
and other revenues that change constantly throughout the year and often are on a different fiscal cycle than the County.
In addition, as the Public Health Section becomes the central agency for receiving all CDPHE core contracts, additional
expertise and capacity will be needed to manage the fiscal component working with CDPHE as well as the subcontractor
side.
Both departments need access to a dedicated accounting specialist who can: process A/P through Eden; help analyze
technical budgetary information; help build core contract and grant budgets with program staff; manage ongoing/timely
grant reporting; ensure fiscal grant compliance including state audits; explore creative blending and braiding of funding;
evaluate financial trends; and complete timely reports for Child Welfare, Economic Services, Senior Services, Healthy
Community Fund, Human Services Administration and Public Health. Connie has been doing this for years with very
limited time. Most counties have dedicated financial staff in both health and human services divisions. We believe that a
full time/shared position would support our departmental needs for now and would relieve Connie of the growing burden
of staying on top of our increasing demands for support.
The full year cost of salary and benefits is$84,392; this request is for five months, anticipating an August start date. The
percentage of time spent in each fund will change with each year. Our best estimates suggest that this person will initially
spend 75% time on Human Services and 25% time on Public Health. This should gradually transition to a 50/50 split.
There are revenue sources to cover a portion of the costs in each fund. Federal closeout of administrative costs in Human
Services will cover 32%of expenditures. Public Health grants and contracts will allow up to 10%administrative time. Staff
anticipates that a finance specialist will help us maximize revenues as well as create efficiencies in expenditures;however,
five-year budget estimates were kept at a conservative level. The attached chart shows the five-year impact to each fund.
For the first year this position would be supervised by Connie Baker in Finance. In the second year supervision would be
shared by the Human Services and Public Health Directors. Space is available in the HHS building in the current "records
room". Staff has included costs for technology, training, mileage and office supplies.
2) STRATEGIC PLAN GOAL(S)ADVANCED:
CORE VALUE: Financial Stewardship; CORE FOCUS: Prosperous Economy; SUCCESS FACTORS: 3. High performing
County leaders, teams and employees 4. Responsible and accountable stewardship of County assets

obligations to oversee the budget have grown.
