Use of Budget Savings Resulting From
Actions by Departments 96-131 211 07-02-96 1
Background
This policy will allow departments to retain one-half of any budgeted amounts saved if they can
demonstrate that the savings resulted from their efforts. One-half of the budget savings can be used to
fund some of the department's unmet needs in the current year or can be carried forward and used in a
subsequent fiscal year. The budget savings can only be used if the City Manager determines that the
savings resulted from action taken by the department. This policy will provide an incentive for
departments to save money and will encourage employees to be creative and efficient.
Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to authorize the City Manager to amend the budget to reflect one-half of
any budget savings where the savings can be attributed to action taken by a department.
Policy
It is the policy of the City Council of the City of Redding to authorize the City Manager to amend the
budget to provide for the benefit of a department one-half of the budget savings resulting from actions
taken by such department. The department must demonstrate to the City Manager that the savings
resulted from efforts made by the department. The City Manager shall determine if the actions taken by
the department resulted in City expenditures being less than the amount budgeted. The City Manager
shall also determine which unmet needs the savings can be applied toward. If the budget savings
referenced above are needed to fulfil other financial obligations, the City Manager may elect not to allow
departments to utilize the savings to fund unmet needs.
Procedure
Budget amendments such as those described above shall be approved in the same manner as appropriation
transfer requests (reference Council Policy 401).
