Initiator

Finance Department

Recommendation

Approve an ordinance amending the Police Department budget of $22,332,387 in \n \n the General Fund by $24,939 to $22,357,326.

Approval

Approved

Background

In accordance with Georgia Code 17-5-54, the Police Department applied to the

Superior Court in March for an order to retain, sell, or discard property

which has been found and is unclaimed. This order has been approved by

Superior Court Judge Pullen and the department has received $24,939 in the

disposition of the unclaimed property. The monies have been deposited in

Treasury in Acct.# 0101-099-1999-4861.

Analysis

The budget adjustment will increase the spending authority of the Police

Department to purchase small capital equipment and make building repairs.

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 available.

Financial Considerations

Funds will be appropriated to the Police Department in the amount of $24,939

increasing the budget to $22,357,326. An amount of $14,370 will be

appropriated to Support Services and $10,569 will be appropriated to Motor

Transport.

Projected Annual Fiscal Impact Statement

Legal Considerations

Council action is required to increase the legal limit of control on budget

expenditures.

Recommendations/ Actions

Approve an ordinance amending the Police Department budget of $22,332,387 in

the General Fund by $24,939 to $22,357,326.
