Background and Analysis:
Background and analysis has not changed from first to second reading.
To change the budget the Council must approve an ordinance amending the budget. Generally, budgetary amendments are made quarterly. On occasion a budget change is made between the quarterly updates with separate ordinances approved by the Council. These ordinances do not officially amend the budget ordinance, but does provide authorization to expend funds. The attached ordinance reflects ordinances which may have been adopted relating to the budget since the last quarterly update, and other proposed changes to the budget.
No separate ordinances were passed since the adoption of Ordinance #6996 relating to the Special Funds Budget.
