TITLE
Recommendation to approve the Fiscal Year 2020 third departmental and fund budget appropriation adjustments in accordance with existing City Council policy. (Citywide)
DISCUSSION
On September 3, 2019, the City Council adopted the Appropriations Ordinance governing the City’s Adopted Budget for Fiscal Year 2020 (FY 20). Periodically, changes in revenue or operating conditions require mid-year appropriation adjustments. For example, in certain cases, these adjustments enable departments to expend recently awarded grant revenue for which there is no existing appropriation. In addition, changes for multi-year grants/projects are necessary to bring appropriations in line with final grant/project award amounts. Other instances involve a department spending over the appropriation authority toward a contractual obligation or a City Council-initiated project or general operations that require appropriation adjustments to be made. In accordance with the City’s practice, these adjustments are presented periodically throughout the year to the City Council for consideration. Please see Attachment A for a Summary of Proposed Adjustments of impacted City funds and Attachment B for a summary of appropriation adjustments within departments to implement City Council-approved Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) with the Long Beach Lifeguards Association, Long Beach Management Association, Association of Confidential Employees, City Prosecutors Association, and City Attorneys Association.
This matter was reviewed by Principal Deputy City Attorney Gary J. Anderson on December 14, 2020.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
The following requests for adjustments to FY 20 departmental and fund appropriations are necessary to reflect changes in operating conditions. City Council action is requested on January 19, 2021, to enable the timely processing of budget adjustments.
