Title
Consider/Discuss/Act on an Ordinance Amending the Fiscal Year 2015-2016 Budget for MEDC, MCDC & MCVB to Re-appropriate Projects/Items Carried from Last Fiscal Year
Summary
COUNCIL GOAL: Financially Sound Government
MEETING DATE: January 5, 2016
DEPARTMENT: Financial Services
CONTACT: Mark Holloway, Budget Manager
RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION:
• Approval of ordinance.
ITEM SUMMARY:
• The MEDC, MCDC, & MCVB re-appropriations in this ordinance are projects or purchases that were originally budgeted in FY2014-15, but were not spent during the last fiscal year.
• Most of the items are projects that are in progress and are for goods not delivered or services not rendered during FY2014-15.
• Re-appropriations are as follows:
o McKinney Convention & Visitors Center (MCVB) $11,000
o McKinney Economic Development Corp (MEDC) $2,804,423
o McKinney Community Development Corp (MCDC) $39,515,296
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
• The City Charter states that “at the close of each fiscal year, the unencumbered balance of each appropriation shall revert to the fund … and shall be subject to future appropriation, but appropriations may be made in furtherance of improvements or other objects of work of the City which will not be completed within the current year”.
• Funds that were budgeted and not used during the fiscal year are not available for their use unless appropriated in the ensuing fiscal year’s budget.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY:
• The fund balances will not be affected as the re-appropriated items were budgeted in the previous fiscal year; FY2014-15 fund balance will be increased and FY2015-16 fund balance will be decreased by the same amount. The total FY2015-16 appropriations for MEDC, MCDC & MCVB will increase.
