RE:Budget Amendment

REQUEST:

The City Council is asked to review and approve the following amendments to the FY25 Adopted Budget:

·         The Library has received multiple donations from Library members recognizing the outstanding services received from staff. These donations will be utilized to fund various library projects.

·         The Fire Department received a $100 donation from Firefighters Charitable Foundation; funds will be allocated to the purchase of the Fire Department’s training supplies.

·         Necessary landscaping improvements at the Police Department headquarters were completed at the earlier part of the fiscal year; funds to complete the project were transferred from building improvements. Flooring replacement was also identified as an immediate need; therefore quotes were obtained, and due to the timing of the project the vendor was able to provide immediate work.  Funding to cover the cost of the project was identified in Personal Services due to vacancies within the divisions.



DISCUSSION
:

The City’s Purchasing Policy states that unbudgeted capital outlay expenses and receipts not anticipated in the budget or received for a particular purpose, including but not limited to grants, donations, or gifts, must be approved by City Council.  



RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that City Council approve the attached amendment to the FY25 Adopted Budget.  

BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:

The amendment allows for the acceptance of the donations and results in an overall increase of $75 to the Library Department’s budget and $100 to the Fire Departments budget.  There is no overall effect to the Police Department's budget.
