Title
An ordinance amending the budget for Fiscal Year 2018-19 by appropriating and setting aside the necessary funds out of the general and other revenues of the City of Mesquite for Fiscal Year 2018-19, for the maintenance and operation of various departments and activities of the City, for capital and other improvements of the City and for all other expenditures included in said amended budget.
Body
The Fiscal Year 2018-19 annual operating and capital budget was adopted by the City Council on September 4, 2018, and later amended on January 7, 2019, for the financial plan of operations beginning October 1, 2018, to September 30, 2019. Because changes often occur throughout the year, department heads have the authority to move funds within their departments, and amending the adopted budget to account for significant changes in revenues and expenditures is a common best practice in local government finance. Adjustments to the adopted budget have been made and are incorporated into the attached proposed Fiscal Year 2018-19 amended budget financial schedules along with a written summary of the major changes.
