AGENDA #4d

MEMORANDUM

TO:                   Roger L.  Stancil, Town Manager

FROM:            Loris R. Colclough, Interim Finance Director

SUBJECT:       Annual Budget Ordinance Amendment to Reappropriate Funds for Prior Year Encumbrances and Other Obligations

DATE:             September 10, 2007

 

The attached budget ordinance amendment would appropriate funds for encumbrances, previously approved grants, and capital improvement projects in various funds from the 2006-07 fiscal year.

 

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION

Encumbrances

After each fiscal year end, Council is requested to amend the current year budget ordinance to provide funding for encumbrances from the prior fiscal year.  Encumbrances are obligations incurred by issuance of purchase orders for which payments were not made as of June 30, 2007, because materials or services had not been delivered.  In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, encumbrances were not included as expenditures for 2006-07 and must be reappropriated for payment during the 2007-08 budget.

 

Funds for these expenditures are shown in the 2006-07 Annual Financial Report on the balance sheets for each fund under the heading "Fund Balance-Reserved for Encumbrances."

 

Grant Fund Carryovers

The attached amendment would reappropriate $803,402 for unspent grant funds into the Grant Fund as follows:

CIP Project Carryovers
