DISCUSSION:
The City's annual operating budget is formally enacted into law by City Council action adopting an
appropriation ordinance that establishes spending limits for each department's and fund's operation.
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to provide the City Council with the final
balanced budget, per the audit, for the year ending September 30, 2015. This process begins with the
recording of all expenditures from October 1, 2014 to September 30, 2015. As a result of the external
auditors' review, additional expenditure entries are either posted or re-classed, resulting in changes to
departments' final total expenditures. All departments' final expenditures are then compared to the
budgeted amount approved in the original appropriation ordinance as adjusted for supplemental
Logname: 13FY2015 CLOSING Page 1 of 3
appropriations approved throughout the year.
The amounts over budget must be appropriated by action of the City Council in accordance with the City
Charter (Chapter X, Section 5, Expenditure Only Pursuant to Appropriations). Approval of this M&C
appropriating those amounts represents the final step before the audit can be completed and the
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report published.
Below is a brief explanation of the activity resulting in departments or funds exceeding their Fiscal Year
2015 Budget as of March 14, 2016.
General Fund:
General Fund Department] Additional Appropriations
Fire $ 206,000.00
Total - General Fund F $ 206,000.00
The Fire Department overage is primarily due to higher than anticipated outside fleet repair and
maintenance costs during the year. Overall, the Fiscal Year 2015 General Fund had a budgetary
contribution to fund balance of$13 million dollars.
Other Funds:
FFund Additional Appropriations
Solid Waste Fund [ $ 632,000.00
Municipal Airports
Fund $ 99,000.00
Information Systems Fund $ 210,000.00
Solid Waste Fund expenses exceeded budget as a result of increases in the residential collections
contract. Those expenses are offset by increases in residential billing receipts that came in at a level that
is higher than what was budgeted.
The Municipal Airports Fund expenses exceeded budget due mainly to the contractual Agreement with
Alliance Air Services to manage Alliance Airport. Under the contract, Alliance Air Services is
compensated based on revenues generated at the facility. Landing fee revenues at Alliance Airport
exceeded budgeted amounts, meaning Alliance Air Services is due additional compensation, which results
in a higher-than-budgeted cost for the fund. Nevertheless, a contribution to Net Position occurred in Fiscal
Year 2015 in the amount of$51.2 million dollars.
Information Technology Systems Fund costs are higher than budgeted due primarily to phase one in the
replacement of the City's network and telephone systems (M&C C-27346). That M&C indicated that the
replacement would be funded, in part, from departmental savings. Those savings were not ultimately
realized due to unanticipated increases in other contractual expenses of the fund. The additional costs
are partially offset by increases in computing services fees in the amount of$124,000.00, with the
remainder coming from use of net position.
This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
