Fiscal Note
This resolution appropriates a variety of expenditures not anticipated in the 2018 Adopted Operating Budget. The resolution authorizes $550,000 in new appropriations funded by General Fund balance. These appropriations bring the 2018 Revised Operating Budget closer to the State of Wisconsin Expenditure Restraint Program limit and helps preserve expenditure authority in future years. Adoption of this resolution has no impact on the tax levy. It is anticipated that, following this transfer, the unreserved, undesignated, and unassigned General Fund balance will remain below the target level of 15 percent of budgeted expenditures at the end of 2018 but above 14 percent.
In addition to new appropriations, the resolution also includes a series of transfers across and within departments. These adjustments reflect projected spending levels through the 3rd Quarter; all proposed transfers are net neutral. Among these transfers is fully expending the 2018 Contingent Reserve. As of the November 20th Common Council meeting the remaining balance of the Contingent Reserve is $1,554,085.
