suB~ECT SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION ORDINANCES FOR FY98 YEAR END BUDGET
ADJUSTMENTS
RECOMMEDATION
It is recommended that the City Council
1 Adopt the attached supplemental appropriation ordinance increasing appropriations by $6,022,342
in the General Fund departments that are over budget and decreasing the unreserved,
undesignated General Fund balance by the same amount; and
2. Adopt the attached supplemental appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and
appropriations by $772,665 in the Culture and Tourism Fund from available funds.
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 M&C is to provide the City Council with the final balanced budget, per the audit, for
the year ending September 30, 1998 This process begins with the recording of all expenditures from
October 1, 1997, to September 30, 1998, 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 amounf
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 be published
