Marian Karr, City Clerk City Clerk/ Finance Officer Name w' CITY OF IOWA CITY 10 �`910 "� 40 1 � EMO DUM M RAN Date: April 28, 2015 To: Tom Markus, City Manager From: Dennis Bockenstedt, Director of Finance Re: Budget Amendment #2 for FY2014-2015 Introduction The Finance Department requests the City Council conduct a public hearing for consideration of amending the Fiscal Year 2015 budget. This amendment will be the second 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 $2,955,545, as shown on Line 14 of the attached notice (see Revenues & Other Financing Sources, lines 1-14). The majority of the revenues being amended are Intergovernmental Revenues and Other Financing Sources. The proposed changes primarily reflect adjustments to 2015 capital project activity; the largest capital project adjustment is due to the delay of the Gateway project for one year. Other major revenue adjustments include a transfer to the Emergency Reserve and the defeasance of the 2009 Parking revenue bonds. Intergovernmental revenues (line 9) are being decreased by $11,606,736, and Other Financing Sources (line 13) are being increased by $16,080,614. Miscellaneous revenues (line 12) are being decreased by $1,586,488. Use of Money and Property revenues (line 8) and Charges for Services revenues (line 10) are being amended upward by $48,590 and $19,565, respectively. The section entitled Expenditures & Other Financial Uses (lines 15-27) provides for a decrease in appropriations of $10,116,327. The majority of the decrease in appropriations is related to the timing of governmental capital improvement projects (line 22) and total $25,822,082. The next largest program being amended is for Transfers Out (line 26). This program is being increased by $9,349,451 and primarily reflects the Landfill loan and Parking reserve transfers to defease the 2009 Parking revenue bonds; the 2015 capital project adjustments are also significant. The third largest expenditure item being amended is Business Type/Enterprise expenditures (line 24) which is being increased by $5,303,198. The increase in this program primarily reflects the actual defeasance payment for the 2009 Parking revenue bonds. The net budgeted result to cash balances is an increase of $13,071,872 (line 28). The increase primarily reflects the local option sales tax funds being carried forward for the Gateway Project. Attached is a detailed list of the budget adjustments for the FY2015 second budget amendment. April 28, 2015 Page 2 Recommendation The City Budget Amendment and Certification Resolution for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2015 budget amendment are attached to this memo.
