AGENDA #4a

 

MEMORANDUM

 

TO:                  Mayor and Town Council

 

FROM:            W. Calvin Horton, Town Manager

 

SUBJECT:       Budget Ordinance to Distribute Salary Reserves

 

DATE:             September 24, 2001

 

 

At the time the current year’s budget was adopted, the Council had not made final decisions on compensation adjustments. Therefore, funding for salary increases was held in salary reserve accounts in each of the relevant funds. The Council approved compensation adjustments on July 2, 200l.

 

The attached budget ordinance would distribute $640,000 from the Non-departmental salary reserve account in the General Fund to the appropriate accounts in the General Fund departments based on the final decisions made by the Council on July 2.  Since the budget for the other affected funds (Transportation, Housing and Parking) are adopted on a total funds basis, a budget ordinance change is not necessary to distribute the salary reserves in those funds to the appropriate salary and benefit accounts.

 

RECOMMENDATION

 

That the Council adopt the attached budget ordinance.
