Znd. : 144 CREATION OF FUND - Appropriations Fund The following communication, dated August 8th, was submitted to all council- men by the City Manager: � • In the current 1958-59 budget Council has approved the City Manager�s recorrimendation that a 3alary Adjustment fund be set up in the budget to permit the City Manager to advance employees to a higher classification wheri necessary, to rewrite position classifications where necessary, arid to write new position classifications w�hen necessary, (5alia:rfy Adjustments Account No. 442-A) � � • � Yesterday, the City Manager, Vice-Mayor Wilb:e'rSimons, Miner B�. Phillips, our external auditor, and the Director of Finance met for the purposesof discussing our problems in connection with our necessary requests to Council eluring the operating year for fund transfers. In the 195?-58 budget year, sixty-ni ne (69) resolutions � were passed by Council in which additional funds were allocated for , M 8z O and Capital purposes. Of the sixty-nine (69), approximately fifty (50) were for amounts of five hundred ($500. 00) dollars or less and only twenty (20) (approximately) were for M & O or Capital items not included in the 1957-58 budget. Since it is practically impossible to forecast for a year in advance material and sup�ly costs and/or to obtain unit costs for capitaT items on an inflationary market, many cities over the past several years have created appropriation accounts in their General Funds to cover M & O and Capital expenditures in excess' of budgeted amounts based on estimates at budget prepara:tiorn.;time. Accordingly it is recommended that Council create two (2) new �C, � accounts within the General Fund only as follows: ' 1. Appropriations Account No. 442-B Maintenance and Operations General Fund in the amount of $10, 000, 00 ' ' 2. Appropriations Account No. 442-C Capital General Fund in the amount of $10, 000. 00 .,1,�C' The two subject accounts if created would greatly reduce our need for the passage of resolutions transferring funds frbm the Unapprop- riated Surplus in�the� General �Fund to the appropriate General Fund Account requiring the additional appropriation to Cov�r the Capital item purchase and/or M & �O purchase, It is further recommended that a limitation of $300. 00 be placed upon any single transfer from the Appropriation Accounts (Capital and/or M & O) to the account in the General Fund requiring the . appropriation. Requests for amounts in excess of $300. 00 would continue to require Council prior approval before the expenditure was made. � The Director of Finance would determine the amount needed up to the $300. 00 limitation and s'ecure the City Manager's approval (in writing).prior to approving the appropriation transfer. You may rest assured that the strict�st control will be maintained in administering these funds by the Director of Finance and City Manager should:Council elect to accept this recommendation which can be accomplished by mi.nute entry action. MOTION: Made by Councilman Simo�s, seconded by Councilman Fulkerth the recommendations of the City Manager be approved and the following two new accounts within the General Fund only be created: 145 � Appropriations Account #442-B Maintenance and Operations General Fund in the amount of $10, 000. 00 Appropriations Account #442-C Capital General Fund in the � amount of $10, `000. 00 � � . That a limitation of $300, 00 be placed on any single transfer from the Appro- priation Accounts (Capital and/or M & O) to the account in the General Fund requiring the appropriation; that requests for amounts in excess of $300. 00 con- tinue to require Council approval prior to expenditure.
