Montez, Director of Management & Budget Subject: Clerical Correction to Ordinance #022993 Adopting the City of Corpus Christi FY 1997-98 Budget Date: August 27, 1997 On July 22, 1997 the City Council approved Ordinance #022993 for the ensuing fiscal year beginning August 1, 1997 and ending on July 31, 1998. Section 1 of the signed ordinance incorrectly reads as follows: SECTION 1. That the Budget of the City of Corpus Christi, covering proposed expenditures amounting to $315,661,568 and estimated revenues amounting to $315,661,568 for the Fiscal Year beginning August 1, 1997, and ending July 31, 1998, as submitted by the City manager with modifications directed by the City Council incorporated hereby reference, is hereby adopted. As per Council action reflected on page 20 of the July 22, 1997 minutes, the new total appropriation should have been $315,449,568 (minutes attached). This amount is less than the original appropriation by $212,000 due to the restructuring of the amount to be paid by the General Fund to the Self Insurance for the utility loan. Since the Self Insurance was less by $212,000, the expenditure from the Self Insurance to the Utility Fund to repay the loan was decreased by like amount. As a result of these transactions, the total budget appropriation decreased by $212,000. Reconciliation of Transactions General Fund Impact Total amount appropriated in the General Fund prior to $748,816 loan restructuring Total amount appropriated after restructuring 536.816 Total decrease in expenditures ($212,000) Total increase in expenditures due to the addition of 10 + 212.000 cadets Total General Fund impact -0- Self Insurance Impact Total amount appropriated to repay Utility Fund loan prior to restructuring Less: Amount available for expenditure after restructuring Total decrease in expenditure Summary of Total Appropriation Total appropriation prior to loan restructuring Less: Decrease in expenditure - Self Insurance Fund Total new appropriation for FY 1997-98 $1,186,080 974.080 $212.000 $315,661,568 212.000 $315.449.568 Although, the ordinance submitted to the Council for approval on July 22, 1997 was amended, the actual recorded ordinance inadvertently failed to reflect the action noted above. Attached for filing is a corrected ordinance which accurately reflects the Council action. The change must also be refiled with the County Clerk's office since a certified copy of the original ordinance was filed there. Sincerely, Joe B.
