Background
The Council has adopted the City?s Annual Operating budget and in special
actions has adopted various special purpose budgets. All of these budgets
appropriate funding for planned operations. During the course of the year,
adjustments become necessary to increase or redistribute funding based on
actions of Council, changes in departmental activities and changes in funding
sources.
Staff is requesting a budget amendment to appropriate monies needed for
personnel actions and various other operational activities. As provided in
the charter and state law, only Council has the authority to change spending
levels. Adjustments are included in this Ordinance to reflect changes needed
to complete organizational objectives. These adjustments are necessary to
modify budgets and set up appropriations for expenditures since the financial
system will only allow expenditures to be made if budgets are not available.

turnout gear and burn building for the Fire Department, elevator upgrade, local
match for the Drug Court Grant and the Juvenile Justice System, Victim
Restitution grant, run-off election costs, business license software for the
Finance Department, overtime for the Sheriff?s office and Muscogee County

positions; this budget amendment is submitted for Council consideration.
