12.2 REPORT - FISCAL YEAR 2014-15 BUDGET AMENDMENT
BACKGROUND: As we progress through the fiscal year, it is prudent for
the City to review revenues and expenditures and to amend the FY
2014-15 budget as necessary to reflect changes in revenue,
expenditures and staffing needs that have been identified since approval
of the FY 2014-15 budget in June 2014.
On January 27, 2015, staff presented a report that discussed the
2013-14 fiscal year end results and the current progress on meeting the
projected revenues and expenditures for FY 2014-15. At that time, staff
relayed to Council that staff would return with recommendations for
Council’s consideration regarding amending the adopted FY 2014-15
budget and number of authorized positions based on identified variances
to reflect the City’s evolving economic condition and operational needs.
