Reference: 2017 Budget Amendment
To: Mayor Richard N. McLean and Members of City Council
Through: Clint Blackhurst, Acting City Manager
Prepared By: Jean Starr, Interim Finance Director
Date Prepared: March 18, 2016
PURPOSE: To amend the 2017 Adopted Budget.
BACKGROUND: A 2017 budget amendment must be completed for 2016 budgeted operating appropriations that were encumbered by prior years’ purchase orders or not finalized by December 31, 2016; thus appropriating amounts to complete these expenditures in 2017. In addition, the 2017 budget amendment requests budget for personal services and benefits due to separation agreements, and grants received. Budget transfers between projects and divisions were also requested. The following are the amounts requested by fund:
FINANCIAL IMPACT: All re-budgets of prior year’s incomplete encumbrances or carryovers must be made by a budget appropriation in the current year, as all remaining project budget amounts lapsed into fund balance at 12/31/2016. All changes to the 2017 adopted budget must be made by a Supplemental Appropriation resolution.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve the proposed 2017 supplemental budget resolution and appropriation.
OPTIONS FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION: Approve the budget amendment as presented, amend, or deny.
