Agenda Report#______________
TO: Mayor And Councilors
SUBJECT: FY07 BUDGET AMENDMENT
INITIATED BY: Finance Department
Recommendation: Approve an Ordinance amending the FY07 adopted budget by
reappropriating funds for activities continued from FY06 and adjustments made
for other purposes.
Background: The Council has adopted the city?s FY07 Annual Operating Budget
and Nonoperating Budget in separate actions. Both budgets appropriate funding
for planned operations. Pursuant to state and local laws, these budgets are
for a single fiscal year, and unspent appropriations lapse at the end of the
fiscal year.
At the end of each fiscal year, many activities are in process. Orders for
goods and services have been placed, but either the order has not yet been
filled or the vendor has not yet sent an invoice for payment. In such
instances, funding for the payment has been encumbered, but the budget
authority to make the payment terminates at year-end. Additionally, some major
purchases or projects may be in a planning stage at the end of the fiscal year;
these transactions do represent an outstanding encumbrance at year-end and
funding for them also must be appropriated.
In order to complete this work in process at the end of the fiscal year, the
funding to support it needs to be reappropriated. In order to maintain an
accurate record of authorized spending levels, the carryovers are being
submitted in the form of a budget amendment for Council?s consideration. In the
non-operating budgets, adjustments are made for grant and other activities.
Analysis: The total funding to be reappropriated for operating and
non-operating funds is $5,164,199 consisting of $2,248,688, of outstanding
encumbrances as of June 30, 2006, and $2,915,510 of funding for works in
progress, grants and on-going projects. These projects include GIS website
enhancements, protective vests for public safety sworn personnel and
other operational expenses and equipment. The funding source for these
appropriations is designated and undesignated fund balance, contingency, and
other identified revenue sources. The total operating funds budget went from an
adopted budget of $193,631,237 to $195,539,488, a .99% increase.
The attached tables identify the amounts to be reappropriated in each
accounting fund by department and according to the cause (that is, outstanding
encumbrance, or work in process).
Financial Considerations: This action will increase FY07 authorized spending
levels by reappropriating funds for certain activities that were originally
budgeted but not completed in FY06. Because the authorized prior year spending
did not occur, the FY06 ending fund balance includes funds for activities that
were originally budgeted in FY06, but not completed by year-end. Fund
balance, contingency, and other miscellaneous revenues will be used to bridge
the difference between revenues and expenditures in FY07.
Recommendations / Actions: Approve the attached Ordinance amending the FY07
adopted budgets by reappropriating funds for activities continued from FY06 and
adjustments made for other purposes.
