TITLE
Recommendation to approve the Fiscal Year 2021 first departmental and fund budget appropriation adjustments in accordance with existing City Council policy. (Citywide)
DISCUSSION
On September 8, 2020, the City Council adopted the Appropriations Ordinance governing the City’s Adopted Budget for Fiscal Year 2021 (FY 21). 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. See Attachment A for a Summary of Proposed Adjustments of impacted City funds.
This matter was reviewed by Principal Deputy City Attorney Gary J. Anderson on February 18, 2021.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
The following requests for adjustments to FY 21 departmental and fund appropriations are necessary to reflect changes in operating conditions. City Council action is requested on March 9, 2021, to enable the timely processing of budget adjustments.
