Title
An ordinance amending the budget for Fiscal Year 2018-19, as heretofore approved by Ordinance No. 4592 of the City of Mesquite, Texas, adopted on September 4, 2018, 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 (FY) 2018-19 annual operating and capital budget was adopted by the City Council on September 4, 2018, for the financial plan of operations beginning October 1, 2018, to September 30, 2019. At the end of each fiscal year there are open purchase orders and contracts that were approved purchases for that fiscal year, but the goods or services have not been received or the project has not yet been completed. As a result, the open purchase orders and contracts are rolled from one fiscal year to the next and the related budget amount is added to the new fiscal year’s budget. The attached amended budget includes the additional budget amount for the rolled purchase orders and contracts from FY 2017-18 to 2018-19, along with other minor departmental changes that have occurred after the adoption of the FY 2018-19 budget.
The adjustments to the adopted budget are incorporated in the FY 2018-19 amended budget financial schedules that are attached to the ordinance. A written summary of the changes to the adopted budget is also attached.
