LOG NAME: 10FY2022 RECRUITMENT FUNDING
SUBJECT
(ALL)Adopt Attached Appropriation Ordinance Amending the Fiscal Year 2022 Budget to Adjust the General Fund and Reallocate$40,000.00
from the Non-Departmental Contractual Services Category to the City Auditor's Office Category to Fund Contractual Services for the City Auditor
Recruitment for City Secretary Contract Contract 56886.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached appropriation ordinance,amending the City's adopted Fiscal Year 2022 budget to
adjust the General Fund budget by decreasing the Contractual Services category of Non-Departmental by$40,000.00 and increasing the City
Auditor's Office category of the General Fund by the same amount,to fund contractual services for the City Auditor recruitment(City Secretary
Contract 56886).
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication(M&C)is to take action to appropriate funds for contractual costs of the City Auditor
recruitment.
Due to the retirement of the City Auditor in December 2021,the City Auditor's Office has incurred unanticipated expenses for the City Auditor
recruitment(City Secretary Contract 56886).-
The Non-Departmental budget in the General Fund includes allocations for various anticipated needs organization-wide for Fiscal Year(FY)2022,
including separation pay,tuition reimbursement,and contractual services. While it's possible to estimate and budget for these types of expenses
citywide based on past experience,the Performance and Data Analytics Department(Budget Division)cannot anticipate in which department
such funds will be needed. The intent is to plan for these expenses globally and,as individual needs and expenses arise,to request that the City
Council adjust the budget to move the money where it is needed.
The adopted FY22 budget includes sufficient funds in the Contractual Services category to cover the costs of this recruitment contract. Adoption of
this M&C and the attached ordinance would move a portion of that funding to the City Auditor's Office budget under the General Fund for the costs
of City Secretary Contract 56886.
The action in this M&C will amend the Fiscal Year 2022 Adopted Budget as approved in connection with Ordinance 25073-09-2021, Section 1.
