Background and analysis have not changed from first to second reading.
City Council may revise the City’s Special Funds Budget by approving an ordinance. Generally, budget amendments are presented quarterly to Council for their review and approval, but may be made at any time during the year. The amended ordinances appropriate funds and provide authorization to expend the funds.
No separate ordinances were passed since the adoption of ordinance 7201 on October 8, 2019, relating to the Special Funds Budget.
The attached ordinance includes recommended amendments to the 2019 Special Funds Budget for the following:
1. Fire Department
• $1,900,000 in appropriations to be used for the purchase of a replacement fire ladder truck. Funding is provided from the upcoming General Obligation Bond issue.
• $8,503 in appropriations for a carryover appropriation omitted in an earlier quarterly amendment. Funding is from unspent 2018 budget carried over to fund balance in 2019.
