Impact Statement
Purpose of Proposed Legislation and Background Information
The Spring BMP is primarily intended to allow bureaus to make technical adjustments and other revisions to their current year budget. However, bureaus are also permitted to request General Fund "Program Carryovers" and Compensation Set-aside.
Financial and Budgetary Impacts
Approval of this ordinance will change appropriation in 59 funds by a net of $74,238,099 million, primarily resulting from truing up beginning fund balance and other resources. There is a net reduction of $18.7 million to General Fund contingency accounts. These changes are summarized in Exhibit 2. This legislation adds 31 FTE as noted in Exhibit 5.
Community Impacts and Community Involvement
The public had the opportunity to provide online testimony for several weeks leading up to a publicly-noticed hearing, where community members may also provide virtual testimony. This supplemental budget is a small part of the much larger budget process; the rest of the budget process is subject to extensive public outreach in the form of public meetings, public hearings, Council work sessions, requests and analysis provided online, and the inclusion of public budget, and the inclusion of community budget advisors.
