DISCUSSION
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 department's operation
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to provide the City Council with the
final balanced budget, per the audit, for the year ending September 30, 2001 This process begins with
the recording of all expenditures from October 1, 2000, to September 30, 2001, plus all expenditures
found posted to the current year 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 year, which results in today's action
The amounts over budget must be appropriated by action of the City Council in accordance with the
City Charter (Section 5, Expenditure Only Pursuant to Appropriations) This action represents the final
step before the audit can be completed and the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report published
