Resolution N o.__________
A Resolution Clarifying the Use of The General Reserve
Fund Accounts and Budgeting an Unexpected Grant for
Pedestrian Pathways and Sidewalks
Whereas, the General Fund has three organizational units
(Administration, Law Enforcement, and Parks) within
it, and Whereas, Law Enforcement has an existing
account(02) in the Reserve fund, which leaves both
Administration and Parks to share an account (01), and
The current wording on the account, ”City Hall EQ & IMP
Res. Accnt.” fails to differentiate funds that can be used
for Parks from those used for Administration, building
repairs etc., and this has caused confusion.
Therefore Be It Resolved that:
Whereas Reserve Fund Account 01 is hereby renamed
more appropriately as follows: Is: 01 “City Hall EQ &
IMP Res. Acct.” (Revenue)
Changed to: 01” General Fund” to reflect multiple uses,
not just City Hall Improvement projects
Is: “Interest-City Hall Acct.”
Changed to: “ Interest”
Is: “Trans, fr. General Fund”
Change: None
Requirements: (or Expenses)
Is: “Equipment & Improvements” 13-01-7610-01
Chang? to “Admin. Improvements” 13-01-7610-01
“ City Hall Structural Projects” 13-7610-02
“ Parks” 13-7610-03
The budget changes are changed as follows:
