Authorization REQUEST: The City Manager requests the City Commission to consider approval of second reading of Ordinance No. 640 to amend the FY 97 Budget. PURPOSE: The purpose of this Agenda Item is to have the Commission amend the FY 97 Budget to update Fund Balances as provided in the FY 96 Audit, approve new funding strategies, approve new proposed spending, memorialize new spending already approved by the City Commission and to memorialize line item transfers approved by the City Manager. CONSIDERATIONS: The City Manager advised the Commission that he would be presenting a Revised Budget to the Commission based upon new information contained in the FY 96 Audit. Special emphasis was given to the opportunity of paying for Capital Equipment and Small Capital Improvements from cash rather than short term loans. FUNDING: Funding for the Amended Budget was detailed in the Amended Budget as submitted to you March 10, 1997. . IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE: The Amended Budget will become effective upon the approval of the Second Reading of Ordinance No. 640. ATTACHMENTS: Budget Ordinance Supplement to the Amended Budget detailing changes COMMISSION ACTION: ~ '; MEMORANDUM To: Mayor City Commission From: Ron McLemore, City Manager Date: March 18, 1997 Re: Revisions to Amended Budget FY 97 GENERAL FUND: Upon review of the Amended Budget it was determined that we included the cost of the Telecommunications equipment twice. We are removing from General Services linecode 54610 the amount of $40,000, removing from the Police Department linecode 56410 the amount of $60,000. This total of $100,000 was included in the allocation from Information Services Department. This reduces the amount required to be appropriated from Fund Balance, thereby increasing the projected Fund Balance for the General Fund at September 30, 1997. The $5,000 for computers for the City Commission will not be allocated until such time that the Commission approves the purchase. We have not revised the $50,000 for Building Renovations as included in the Amended Budget. If additional funds are required after completion of our studies we will come back to the Commission with another Budget Revision. WATER & SEWER UTILITY: The Amended Budget included $25,000 for the Utility share ofthe Telecommunications system and was also allocated charges from Information Services. We also are amending the Sewer Revenues $461,239 to more accurately reflect projections based upon history. The combination of the reduction in Budgeted Expenditures and the reduction in Budgeted Revenues reduces the Appropriation to Fund Balance, as previously projected from $1,378,567 to $943,048.
