Fiscally Sustainable

PROOF OF PUBLICATION:

N/A

body

BACKGROUND:

At the end of Fiscal Year 2023-24, the City had outstanding purchase orders for goods and services for which vendor invoices had not yet been received.  Under existing accounting procedures, these purchase orders were carried forward into the current fiscal year. 

 

Departments requested re-appropriation of unencumbered funds for specific projects in various stages of completion at the end of Fiscal Year 2023-24, including capital improvement projects. 

 

Budgeted Fiscal Year 2024-25 cash balance forward accounts must be reconciled to ending Fiscal Year 2024-25 balances with the closing of the prior fiscal year.

 

FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS:

At the end of Fiscal Year 2023-24, departments were in various stages of completion for planned capital improvements and approved contractual relationships.  A line-by-line detail is attached as an exhibit. The carry forward of funds will allow for the continuation of these projects.

 

FISCAL IMPACT:

$175,431,800 is available and requested for re-appropriation from Fiscal Year 2023-24 to Fiscal Year 2024-25 to complete projects that were budgeted in the prior fiscal year; to support new areas that have evolved since the budget was adopted; and to reconcile cash balance forward accounts for all funds.
