TITLE
Recommendation to approve the Fiscal Year 2006 first quarter budget departmental and fund appropriation adjustments in accordance with existing City Council policy.
DISCUSSION
On September 13, 2005, the City Council adopted the Appropriations Ordinance governing City expenditures for Fiscal Year 2006 (FY 06). From time to time, changes in revenue or operating conditions call for appropriation adjustments. For example, in some cases these adjustments enable departments to expend newly received 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 quarterly to the City Council for consideration. Please see Attachment A for a Fund Balance Analysis for impacts to City funds, and Attachment 8 for recap of prior FY 06 General Fund budget adjustments.
This letter was reviewed by Chief Assistant City Attorney Heather A. Mahood on January 18, 2006.
