Amend the Fiscal Year 2024 Adopted Budget. DISCUSSION: The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to take actions to bring various funds into balance to facilitate year-end closing and to comply with the City Charter, this process occurs annually. The City's annual operating budget is formally enacted into law by City Council action adopting an appropriation ordinance (Ordinance No. 26453- 09-2023, hereinafterthe Ordinance) that establishes spending limits for each department's and fund's operation. The current practice is to bring forward this Windup M&C during the fiscal year to allocate anticipated net savings and/or available fund balance to meet one-time needs or to address items that have arisen during the fiscal year. The following M&Cs have been submitted separately by other City departments for their department funds to balance year end closing. • The Fleet & Equipment Fund will use $5,189,016.00 from Net Position to cover Operating and Maintenance costs that have risen due to outside repairs and maintenance and shortage of City Maintenance staff. Because these higher than projected costs will be offset by higher than budgeted revenues in the form of payments from the customer departments, the Property Management department is allocating those future additional current -year revenues with their M&C - 21 FY2024 FLEET & EQUIPMENT SERVICES BUDGET ADJUSTMENT. The Alliance Maintenance Facility Fund is projected to be over by a total of $1.1 million, all of which is in Operating and Maintenance as this fund does not have personnel. To bring their O&M into balance, they are using a combination of $370,478.00 of fund balance and $760,000.00 reallocated from Transfer & Other budgeted funds that is no longer needed for capital projects. The Aviation Department is addressing these adjustments with their M&C - 21 CAP CLEANUP/ADD FUNDS - ALLIANCE MAINTENANCE FACILITY FUND. The Group Health Insurance Fund is in deficit due to the significant increase in active employee health claim costs for Fiscal Year 2024. Additional revenues associated with stop -loss insurance reimbursement payments and pharmacy rebates are projected to be received in the amount of $6,450,000.00, largely offsetting claims expenditures. An additional $550,000.00 use of Net Position within the Group Health Insurance Fund will offset the remaining claims expenditures. The Human Resource department is reallocating funds with their M&C-14ACTIVEBUDGETREAPPROPRIATIONFY2024. General ]Fund (Recommendation 1 & 2) Per Ordinance No. 26453-09-2023 Section 1, the General Fund adopted budget for FY2024 was $1,013,812,390.00. M&C appropriations of $4,816,317.11 throughout the year resulted in an adjusted budget of $1,018,628,707.11. This M&C recommends an increase in appropriations of $5,740,888.00, for an adjusted budget of $1,024,369,595.11. This M&C also reallocates budgets between the Non -Departmental "department" and other General Fund departments for covering the shortfall due to separation leave, tuition reimbursement, and Salaries and Benefits expenses and appropriates available miscellaneous revenue to address Fire Overtime.
