Security costs related to the G-20 Summit of world leaders in September came in lower than expected, Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl said today.

"We came in significantly under budget from what we expected to spend," the mayor said. "We will be made whole through federal and state reimbursements."

The city spent $12.24 million on public safety worker overtime, training and equipment; wages, meals and housing for outside officers brought in to help; computer systems and surveillance cameras; and insurance, according to the administration. City council had allowed as much as $16 million in spending on the summit.

The city expects to receive $3.42 million from the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency, $1.25 million from the federal Department of Homeland Security, and $7.57 million from the federal Department of Justice by mid-year.

Mr. Ravenstahl said training and equipment related to the event makes the city "even safer and a top candidate for more world-class events."
