DISCUSSION:
The City's annual operating budget is formally adopted by the City Council by the approval of the
appropriation ordinance that establishes spending limits for each department's operation. The purpose of
this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to provide the City Council with an amended budget
appropriation for FY2008 for the purpose of increasing the General Fund's unreserved, undesignated fund
balance.
On February 19, 2008 staff informed the City Council of a shortfall in the General Fund's available fund
balance pursuant to the 10 percent reserve policy. The Financial Management Policy Statements require
the City to "strive to maintain the General Fund undesignated fund balance at 10 percent of the current
year's budget appropriation for operations and maintenance..." Additionally, the use of fund balance
should be reserved for emergencies, non:recurring expenditures, or major capital purchases that cannot
be accommodated through current year savings. As reported in February 2008, the unaudited FY2007
fund balance was $17,734,068 or 3.8 percent below the 10 percent policy.
In order to strengthen the City's General Fund fund balance, staff sought additional revenue and
expenditure reductions in the current budget. Changes to General Fund departmental budgets resulted in
a net expenditure reduction of $3,320,565, which has a direct, positive impact on the General Fund fund
balance. The current and amended General Fund departmental budgets are outlined below:

GENERAL FUND TOTAL $564,230,640.00 $560,910,075.00
In addition to the General Fund reductions, Internal Service Funds identified current year
expenditures. Internal Service Funds provide day-to-day support to all City funds and
departments. Therefore, a reduction in Internal Service Funds' expenditures will have a positive impact on
the General Fund fund balance. The current and amended Internal Service Fund budgets are outlined
below:
Internal Service Fund
Engineering Services Fund
Equipment Services Fund
Information Systems Fund
Office Services Fund
Temporary Labor
INTERNAL SERVICES FUNDS TOTAL
$23,336,476.00 $24,012,056.00
$23,279,909.00 $23,243,807.00
$2,520,500.00 $1,912,109.00
$1,815,269.00 $1,286,742.00
$67,542,441.00 $65,353,360.00
As a final measure to improve the General Fund balance, staff recommends the transfer of funds from
Enterprise Funds that have received advances from the General Fund and the transfer of funds from
Internal Service Funds' fund balance, as described below:
The amended ordinance makes a new appropriation in the amount of $1,960,145 in the Aviation
Improvements Capital Projects Fund from gas lease revenues and transfers the funds to the Municipal
Airports Fund for the repayment of the advance from the General Fund.
Additionally, the amended ordinance also makes a new appropriation in the amount of $700,000 in the Golf
Gas Well Bonus Revenues Fund from gas lease revenues. These funds will be transferred to the
Municipal Golf Fund to partially offset the advance from the General Fund to the Municipal Golf Fund.
The attached ordinance will appropriate $2,100,000 in the Workers' Compensation Fund and $1,000,000 in
the Culture and Tourism Fund and decrease the unreserved, undesignated fund balance by the same
amounts. These appropriations will then be transferred to the General Fund to strengthen its fund balance.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Finance Director certifies that upon adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be
available in the current operating and capital budgets, as appropriated, of the General Fund, Engineering
Services Fund, Information Systems Fund, Office Services Fund, Temporary Labor Fund, Culture and
Tourism Fund, Equipment Services Fund, Municipal Airport Fund, Municipal Golf Fund, Workers'
Compensation Fund, Municipal Golf Gas Well Revenues Fund, and the Aviation Improvements Capital
Projects Fund.
