TITLE
Recommendation to approve the Fiscal Year 2020 second 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. In accordance with the City’s practice, these adjustments are presented periodically throughout the year to the City Council for consideration. See Attachment A for a summary of proposed adjustments of impacted City funds, Attachment B for a summary of appropriation adjustments within relevant departments to implement the City Council-approved 2019-2023 MOU for the Association of Long Beach Employees (ALBE), and Attachment C for the Summary of High Priority Public Safety Classifications.
This matter was reviewed by Principal Deputy City Attorney Gary J. Anderson on September 25, 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 October 13, 2020, to enable the timely processing of budget adjustments.
