BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:

 

City Charter (Article VII, Section 71) states that all appropriations shall lapse at the end of the fiscal year to the extent that they shall not have been expended or lawfully encumbered.  During the course of a fiscal year, there are contracts and commitments that are entered into by the City that begin in the current fiscal year and are completed in the next fiscal year.

 

There are contracts and commitments for projects and/or services that were not completed nor received by the City prior to the close of the fiscal year that ended September 30, 2019.  In order to complete these projects and/or services, FY 2019 appropriations need to be carried forward to the Annual Budget for FY 2020 as a budget amendment.
