Agenda Report#_________
TO: Mayor And Councilors
SUBJECT: FY06 BUDGET AMENDMENT
INITIATED BY: Finance Department
Recommendation: Approve an Ordinance amending the FY06 revised budgets by
reappropriating funds for personnel actions and various other operational
activities and revising revenue projections.
Background: The Council has adopted the city?s FY06 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.
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 available.
Staff is requesting adjustments for operational and capital expenditures like
donations for Fire Department and Police Department equipment, demolitions,
Mayor?s Walk donations, fuel, utilities, auto supplies; Civic Center additional
events; Metro Drug Task Force forfeitures, Sheriff?s Department forfeitures; GA
DOT funding for METRA buses; GA DOT and Trees Columbus, Inc. funding for
Veterans Parkway Streetscapes project; reconciliation of all awarded grants to
date; and WIA grant for BRAC planning of workforce needs. In order to keep an
accurate record of authorized spending levels and positions; this budget
amendment is submitted for Council consideration.
Analysis: The recommended budget adjustments are outlined on the attached
tables with the summary tables immediately following the memorandum identifying
the amount to be reappropriated in each accounting fund. These adjustments
change the total spending authority of the designated departments. The total
operating funds budget went from a revised budget of $187,639,669 to
$189,079,632, a 0.78% increase. The reappropriation will change the total
approved budget of each fund as follows:
