The <br /> following is our response to question 7, addressed to the Department of Civil Service, but <br /> related to the Department of Finance. <br /> DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL SERVICE <br /> 7. Why did the General Fund Unemployment Compensation expense increase by <br /> ~IS6,ooo to ~z~6,oo0 (s91I.9I>? <br /> In election years the expenditures for unemployment compensation are <br /> higher. This is due to temporary election staff being laid off after the <br /> elections are completed and sometimes due to staff of elected officials not <br /> being retained. Based on this trend, we budget for higher expenditures in <br /> this area in election years (even higher in mayoral election years). Should <br /> you have further questions, please contact our Controller, Deanna Sako. <br /> cc: Dixie Kaetsu, Managing Director <br /> William E.
