Budget

Approximately half of the departmental budget is for staff salaries and benefits. The other half is for corporate, city-wide special programs and services. These include:

• Employee and Family Assistance Program
• Staff Development and Training
• Recruitment Sourcing Activities
• Health and Safety Programs
• Specialized Consultant Services

While this budget area is an expenditure unit, a number of activities result in cost recoveries including provision of emergency planning services and sale of seats in training and development programs.
