DISCUSSION
governing the City’s Adopted Budget for Fiscal Year 2011 (FY 11). Periodically, changes in revenue or operating conditions require appropriation adjustments.

Please see Attachment A for a Fund Balance Analysis of impacted City funds and Attachment B for a recap of FY 11 General Fund Expenditure Budget Adjustments. This matter was reviewed by Assistant City Attorney Heather A. Mahood on September 8, 2011.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
The following requests for adjustments to FY 11 departmental and fund appropriations are necessary to reflect changes in operating conditions. City Council action is requested on September 20, 2011 to enable the timely processing of payments.
