SUBJECT APPROPRIATION ORDINANCE FOR 1997 YEAR END BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS ~
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council
1 Adopt the attached supplemental appropriation ordinance increasing appropriations by $7,266,268
in the General Fund departments that are over budget and decreasing the unreserved,
undesignated General Fund fund balance by the same amount, and
2. Adopt the attached supplemental appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and
appropriations by $896,378 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 which 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, 1997 This process begins with the recording of all expenditures
from October 1, 1996, through September 30, 1997, plus all expenditures found posted to the current
year that should be posted as a prior year expenditure As a result of the external auditors review,
additional expenditure entries are either posted or reclassed resulting in changes to departments' final
total expenditures. All departments' final expenditures are then compared against the budgeted
amounts 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
