TITLE
Recommendation to approve the Fiscal Year 2012 second quarter departmental and fund budget appropriation adjustments in accordance with existing City Council policy. (Citywide)
DISCUSSION
On September 6, 2011, the City Council adopted the Appropriations Ordinance governing the City’s Adopted Budget for Fiscal Year 2012 (FY 12). Periodically, changes in revenue or operating conditions require 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 quarterly to the City Council for consideration. Please see Attachment A for a Fund Balance Analysis of impacted City funds and Attachment B for a recap of FY 12 General Fund Expenditure Budget Adjustments.
This matter was reviewed by Assistant City Attorney Charles Parkin on April 30, 2012.

The following requests for adjustments to FY 12 departmental and fund appropriations are necessary to reflect changes in operating conditions. City Council action is requested on May 22, 2012 to enable the timely processing of payments.
