DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is:
1. To take actions within the General Fund associated with finishing Fiscal Year 2018 by adjusting
funding among General Fund departments;
2. To appropriate increased current-year revenue in the Fleet and Equipment Services Fund, DFW
Revenue Sharing Fund, Special Purpose Fund, Risk Financing Fund, Municipal Parking Fund and
the Retiree Healthcare Trust Fund to cover associated expenditures; and
3. To appropriate funds for increased expenditures in the Solid Waste Fund.
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. In the
past, Staff has waited until the completion of the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) to affect
the settlement of General Fund departments. The current practice is to manage this process during the
current fiscal year and allocate net savings to meet one-time needs or to address items that have arisen
during the fiscal year.
General Fund
The City Manager is authorized by the budget ordinance to move certain monies from Non-Departmental
to other departments, as needed, under delegated authority. The Non-Departmental budget in the General
Fund includes allocations based on the Fund's overall annual budgeted need for separation leave costs
for General Fund employees, certain contractual costs, election costs and tuition reimbursement costs;
those allocations can be distributed to individual departments as they have specific expenses in these
areas. For FY2018, the City Manager made allocations and transfers totaling $6,705,478.00 to various
Logname: 03FY2018 WINDUP_ Page 2 of 5
departments to cover separation leave ($5,597,401), race and diversity study ($200,000.00), election
costs ($320,742.00), tuition reimbursement ($91,553.00), and minor contractual items ($495,782.00). At
this time, the Non-Departmental budget of the General Fund has an available unencumbered
appropriation balance of$2,803,090.00, and this M&C proposes reallocating $1,799,172.00 of that
amount toward offsetting the noted projected shortfalls in certain General Fund department budgets.
Reallocating a Portion of Operating Surplus to Offset Department Operational Expenses
In aggregate, the General Fund is expected to receive $1,108,208.00 more in revenue than expenses at
the end of FY2018.
Based on the most recent forecast, unless funds are reallocated, some departments are projected to have
deficits at the end of the fiscal year due to vacancy estimates and salary and re-organization changes,
higher expenses due to higher workload, persistent overage staffing, or contractual obligations. In
addition, Economic Development is anticipated to have $2,787,892.00 in savings primarily from lower than
anticipated 380 Agreement payments.
To address the forecasted General Fund departmental deficits, adoption of the first attached ordinance will
reallocate available budget amongst General Fund departments to cover additional expenditures.
All of the changes related to the General Fund are outlined in the following chart:

transferred dollars and other reallocated funds are being used to address the deficit associated with police
officer overage positions, which are an eligible expenditure of CCPD funds. The funds were transferred
from the CCPD Fund, rather than moving the expenses to that fund, so that total costs can more easily be

repair and maintenance costs expenses have been higher than budgeted. These additional expenses are

capital funding needs. There is offsetting current-year available funds from Revenue Sharing to offset the
shortfall.

as operational expenses have been higher than budgeted. There is offsetting current-year available
revenues from registration to offset the shortfall. The LEOSE Training Project of the Special Purpose Fund
is projected to have a shortfall of$3,426.00 as operational expenses have been higher than budgeted.
There are current-year available revenues to offset the shortfall.
Risk Financing Fund
The Risk Financing Fund is projected to have a shortfall of$299,407.00 as claims and pending litigation
have been higher than budgeted. There is offsetting current-year revenues, to offset this shortfall.
Municipal Parking Fund
The Municipal Parking Fund is projected to expend $155,734.00 more than budget for costs related to
contractual parking services. There is offsetting current-year parking revenue, which resulted from higher
than anticipated parking activities, to offset this shortfall.
Retiree Healthcare Trust Fund
The Retiree Healthcare Trust Fund is projected to have a shortfall of$944,009.00 due to additional
Logname: 03FY2018 WINDUP_ Page 4 of 5
expenditures related to retiree healthcare costs. There is offsetting current-year revenues, from retiree
contributions and prescription rebates, to offset this shortfall.
Solid Waste Fund
The Solid Waste Fund is projected to have a shortfall of$460,089.00 due to contractual service related to
solid waste pick-up which have been higher than budgeted. There is offsetting current-year revenue from
residential billing revenues in the amount of$61,110.00, while the remaining shortfall will be covered by
the use of net position in the amount of$398,979.00.
This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
