Working in conjunction with the Department of Justice and the Department of Treasury, the ESACs were amended. The FWPD was subsequently provided with a letter placing the FWPD in compliance. At year end, FWPD staff submitted the applicable adjusting journal entries. However, the journal entries were not processed as FY 2013 year-end adjusting entries. Instead, the journal entries were processed for FY 2014. It was discovered that Staff did not have the necessary appropriation authority to make the corrections in FY 2014. As a result, the entries were reversed from FY 2014 and are presented for consideration by the Mayor and Council on this agenda item. FISCAL INFORMATION /CERTIFICATION: The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations, funds will be available in the Fiscal Year 2014 operating budget, as appropriated, within the General Fund, { State Asset Forfeiture Fund, Crime Control and Prevention District Fund, Justice Asset Forfeiture Fund, Treasury Asset Forfeiture Fund and HIDTA Asset Forfeiture Fund. Upon approval, the assigned fund balance of the General Fund will exceed the minimum reserve, as outlined in the Financial Management Policy Statements.
