Title
Consideration of and action on an ordinance to amend the Fiscal Year 2020-2021 Budget for the Emergency Management Department.
Body
Summary:
The Fiscal Year 2020-2021 Budget included overtime costs for employees of the Emergency Management Department. The total cost of overtime for the fiscal year exceeded the budget estimate due to the additional hours dedicated to the Winter Storm in February 2021 and Hurricane Nicholas in September 2021 resulting in a net variance of approximately $3,500.00. A budget amendment in the amount of $3,500.00 is requested to appropriate the additional funds necessary to fully fund the Emergency Management Department for the fiscal year. This additional appropriation would be funded by the unassigned fund balance of the General Fund.
Fiscal/Budgetary Impact:
Add $3,500.00 to the Fiscal Year 2020-2021 budget for the Emergency Management Department (Account No. 010-310-41040, Salaries Overtime), to be funded by the unassigned fund balance of the General Fund, which is available for this purpose.
Recommended action
Approve the ordinance to amend the Fiscal Year 2020-2021 Budget for the Emergency Management Department.
