FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT #2009 - 17 DATE: April 1, 2009 TO: Honorable Mayor Michael T. Carrigan and City Council � FROM: Ryan McCrady, City Manager � �� Ron Neufeld, Finance Director '� � SUBJECT: Changes to FY10 Budget Attached you will find a copy of a resolution approving the Annual Budget for Fiscal Year 2009-2010 as well as a revised copy of the 2009-2010 Annual Budget, with the changes made at the City Council meeting on Monday, April 30th. Below are the page numbers and changes made, which can be compared to the budget detail that you already have. For your convenience we have included copies of the pages that changed. Page 5 - Increased the Legislative budget by $15,000. Increased the Sister City Program (10400102-445400) by $15,000, as approved by City Council. Page 20 — Added $95,000 to Police Department budget. Increased the training line item (]0460652-424000) by $50,000, the line item for rental of equipment (10460652-428900) by $15,000, the line item for ammunition (10460652-430500) by $10,000, the line item for gasoline (10460652-431000) by $10,000 and the line item for office supplies (10460652-434500) by $10,000, as approved by the City Council. In addition we made some adjustments to our funding for the Decatur Convention and Visitor's Bureau. You are probably aware that in past years, the City has provided an additional $20,000 in funding to the Bureau during Farm Progress Show years. This funding was used to provide the vendor dinner. This year, the Bureau was able to secure $10,000 in grant funding for the dinner, so only $10,000 was needed. My first proposed budget had that money coming from the Looking For Lincoln Fund. However, the latest projections for that fund show that there will not be sufficient monies available, so the $10,000 for the dinner has been added to the General Fund allocation for the Bureau. Therefore, we added that $10,000 to the Convention Bureau (10430392-443800) on page 14 and deducted $10,000 from the Convention Bureau (11431102-443800) on page 32. This is not an increase in funding from what was proposed budget; it is just a change in how we account for the funding. The total increase to the General Fund budget was $120,000. The decrease to the Looking for Lincoln budget was $10,000.
