SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
The Agency no longer appropriates estimate ending unassigned fund balances for the Budget. The purpose of Budget Amendment No. 2 is to adjust expenditures in Funds and Programs to appropriate additional amounts that are required due to timing differences in expenditures.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
The Budget Committee approved this item on September 25, 2013; and, on September 30, 2013, the Water Resources Agency Board of Directors approved this Budget Amendment. Due to oversight, this Budget Amendment was never entered into Legistar; hence, the need for formal approval.
FINANCING:
The requested appropriations are needed to amend the budget for expenses that were expected to be paid in FY 2012-13 but will now be incurred in FY 2013-14. The requested amendment to the FY 2013-14 Budget will recognize the consultant expenditures in the period the resources were utilized.
