Title
Ordinance Approving the Second Amendment to the 2016 Budget and Authorizing Changes in Appropriations for Year 2016 (Second Reading)
Body
________________________________________________________________________________
Ordinance was approved on first reading on March 15, 2016 with a vote of 6 to 0.
Executive Summary
The changes of appropriation in this proposed Second Amendment to the 2016 Budget include items to be considered for supplemental appropriation and capital projects carryover from 2015. Attachments B and C categorize amended budget requests into two types of changes: Attachment B includes supplemental appropriation items, and non-CIP encumbered obligations for 2016; Attachment C includes all encumbered and unencumbered CIP project amounts as identified by departments.
The table below itemizes changes in appropriations in this Second Amendment to the 2016 Budget and their inherent effect on capital and operating expenditure budget increases and overall reductions:
Supplemental CIP Allocation
Appropriations Carryover
(Attachment B) (Attachment C) Total
Capital $ 158,524 $15,976,693 $ 16,135,217
Operating $ 353,071 - $ 353,071
Total $ 511,595 $15,976,693 $ 16,488,288
It’s important to note that $16,412,857 of the total requested items contained within this proposed budget amendment are requested as one-time projects that are not continued every year, therefore are considered as one-time uses of available fund balances. The request for a new Parks Supervisor position is requested to continue in future years and is able to be sustainably funded through ongoing lottery revenues received in the Conservation Trust Fund.
Budget Impact
As presented in Attachment D, the Finance Department has ensured that funding is available through either revenues and/or fund balance for one-time expenditures, maintaining adequate reserves within each fund. It is important to note that the First Amendment to the 2016 Budget, as approved by Town Council on February 2, 2016, has been incorporated as part of the existing 2016 amended budget. A summary of the proposed total increase in 2016 expenditure appropriation changes by fund is shown in the following table:
