Background and Analysis:
The background and analysis have not changed from first reading to second reading.
To change the budget the Council must approve a new ordinance amending the budget. Generally, budgetary amendments are made quarterly. On occasion a budget change needs to be made between the quarterly updates and a separate ordinance will come before 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 ordinances were passed since the adoption of ordinance 6904 relating to Special Funds.
Budget Item Not Previously Presented to the Council:
1) Appropriation of $57,114 for replacement of a fire command vehicle which was totaled in an accident. Funding is provided by $56,114 to be received from the Washington Cities Insurance Authority and $1,000 from fund balance of the Fire Equipment Reserve Fund.
2) Appropriation of $18,916 to be transferred from the Fleet Equipment Reserve Fund to the Fleet Operations Fund to fund lease expense of electric vehicles. The Fleet Equipment Reserve Fund does not allow lease payments - only capital purchase and major repairs.
