This amendment will be the first amendment for the Fiscal Year 2015. Attached to this memorandum are the City Budget Amendment and Certificate Resolution and a detailed listing of the proposed revenue and expenditure amendments. History /Background The State of Iowa allows cities to amend the annual operating budget for supplemental appropriation authority. This may include new or revised revenue and expenditure projections, transfers between funds, and capital improvement program changes. Increased expenditures must utilize available fund balance or additional revenue sources as the State does not allow amendments to increase property taxes. Budget amendments are submitted to the Finance Department and reviewed for approval by the Finance Director and City Manager. Requests to carry appropriations over from one year to the next are also submitted and approved in the same manner. A formal recommendation for a budget amendment is then prepared for City Council approval. Discussion of Solutions This amendment increases overall revenues and transfers -in by $16,110,305, as shown on Line 14 of the attached notice (see Revenues & Other Financing Sources, lines 1 -14). The majority of the revenue being amended is intergovernmental revenues. Nearly all of the proposed changes reflect capital project activity being carried forward from the prior year. Intergovernmental revenues (line 9) are being increased by $15,617,027, which primarily represents State and Federal grants being carried forward from the prior year. Other Financing Sources (line 13) are being amended by $200,000 and Use of Money and Property (line 8) is being amended by $166,598, which both represent the repayment of the internal loan for the removal of the North Wastewater Treatment Plant. These loan payments are being funded through the State sales tax hazard mitigation program. Lastly, miscellaneous revenues (line 12) are being amended by $126,680 for animal shelter donations and the sale of patrol cars. The section entitled Expenditures & Other Financial Uses (lines 15 -27) provides for an increase in appropriations of $48,683,737. The majority of the increase in appropriations is related to the timing of governmental capital improvement projects (line 22) and total $28,239,687. The next largest expenditure item being increased is Business Type /Enterprise expenditures (line 24) by a total of $9,587,551. The increase in this program primarily reflects the carry forward of utility fund capital improvement projects. The third largest program being amended is for Transfers Out (line 26). This program is being increased by $6,366,598 and primarily reflects the $6,000,000 internal loan from the Sewer fund to the capital projects fund for the removal of the North Wastewater Treatment Plant which replaces the issuance of sewer revenue bonds. The net budgeted result to cash balances is a reduction of $32,573,432 (line 28). This reduction will be covered through excess cash balances and bond funds and will not affect property tax revenues or levies. A list of the individual amendments is attached to this memo. August 27, 2014 Page 2 Recommendation The City Budget Amendment and Certification Resolution for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2015 budget amendment is attached to this memo. It is recommended that the City Council conduct the public hearing as published and consider approval /denial of the proposed budget amendment.
