The City's annual General Fund operating budget is formally enacted into law by City Council action adopting an appropriation ordinance that establishes spending limits for each departments operation. The purpose of this MSC is to provide the City Council with the final balanced budget, per the audit, far the year ending September 30, 2008. This process begins with the recording of all expenditures from October 1, 2007, to September 30, 2008, plus all expenditures found posted to the Fiscal Year 2009 that should be posted as prior year expenditures. 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 against the budgeted amount approved from the original or supplemental appropriation during the yeas, which results in today's action. The amounts over budget must be appropriated by action of the City Caunail in accordance tivith the City Charter (Chapter X. Section 5, Expenditure Oniy Pursuant to Appropriations). This action represents the final step before the audit can be aompieted and the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report be pu;tlist?ed I`NirRAL FtJN~7 t.?E#~ARTMNT B~xtfget at~d ~rlanarer~tr~nt Se:,rices City ~~lanager City Secretary Cade Carnpliartce R.~i~. i':°~r~ris'iatu F`c~i:°'?tas~?". i~tternat Phi °,:i<t At~C?ITIC3N;~kl.
