BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The overall goal of the City's Financial Plan and Budget is to establish and maintain effective management of the City's resources. Since the City adopts a two-year Financial Plan and Budget the approved budget policies allow for a semi-annual review by Council. If necessary Council can amend appropriations following this review. At the March 24, 1998 "shirtsleeve" session a mid -year review of the 1997-99 adopted Financial Plan and Budget was presented. The City Manager recommended $134,500 in minor reductions to the 1997-98 approved appropriation levels in the General Fund. These reductions were recommended to ensure the projected ending fund balance remains on target of 15% of operating expenditures. This is considered the minimum level necessary to adequately provide for economic uncertainties, contingencies, and cash flow requirements. FUNDING: Savings of $134,500 in the General Fund operating budgets. Vicky McAthi Finance Director '�� _� H.
