AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY ITEM NUMBER: 18
FORT COLLINS CITY COUNCIL DATE: November 21, 2000
STAFF:
Alan Krcmarik
SUBJECT:
First Reading of Ordinance No. 170,2000,Appropriating Prior Year Reserves in the General Fund,
the Street Oversizing Fund and the Cultural Services and Facilities Fund.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This Ordinance increases total City appropriations for 2000 by $45,460. Of that amount, General
Fund appropriations will be increased by $18,808. $10,152 will be appropriated for the Street
Oversizing Fund and$16,500 in the Cultural Services and Facilities fund for the Museum. Funding
for the appropriations of$45,460 is entirely from prior year reserves.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
At the end of each year,appropriations that are not spent or committed to a valid contract lapse. The
funds are then placed in reserves for future expenditures. The $45,460 to be appropriated by
this Ordinance were not identified to be carried forward for Year 2000 spending. These funds should
have been carried over to 2000 to match the corresponding 2000 expenses. While preparing for the
2000 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, staff noted this discrepancy. This Ordinance will
appropriate the funds that should have been automatically carried over into 2000.
Following is a list of funds that make up the increase in appropriations from prior year reserves:
General Fund $18,808
Street Oversizing Fund 10,152
Cultural Services and Facilities Fund 16,500
Total $45.460
DATE: November 21, 2000 2 ITEM NUMBER: 18
