Budget Assignments EXECUTIVE SUMMARY City Council Meeting Date: February 19, 2019 AGENDA ITEM: Budget Assignments AGENDA SECTION: Consent PREPARED BY: Jeff May, Finance Director AGENDA NO. 6.g. ATTACHMENTS: Resolution and 2018 Assignment Journal Entries APPROVED BY: LJM RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to adopt a Resolution Approving the Assignment of Certain 2018 Budget Items to 2019. ISSUE The issue before the City Council is the annual assignment of General Fund and CIP Funds items forward from the prior year to the current year. BACKGROUND This item is on the agenda for consideration of the approval of the proposed assignment items for the General Fund, the Building CIP Fund, the Street CIP Fund and the Equipment CIP Fund. The attached journal entry worksheet summarizes the reasons for the assignment requests. In November 2011, the City Council approved a revised Fund Balance Policy that reflected changes required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). As stated at that time: “The only real difference is how we will treat encumbrances. Encumbrances as the Council has known them in the past will not exist anymore. By the use of “assignments” we will still be able to dedicate funds to purposes like we have done in the past. Assignments will be handled by the City Administrator or Finance Director. Anything that is “assigned / encumbered” like in the past with encumbrances will be discussed with the City Council as has been done in the past so the Council is aware of and o.k. with the assignments.” Assignments are typically made for items unspent in one year that can be carried forward (“assigned”) to future years. Examples of items that have assignments are: (1) multi-year programs like the Government Buildings Repairs & Maintenance account and the Parks Maintenance Repairs & Maintenance account; (2) items or projects that are not completed in the previous year that require the budgeted funding to be carried forward; and (3) upcoming one-time expenditures to be made with unused funds from the previous years. SUMMARY Staff is recommending that the City Council adopt the attached resolution assigning the listed items from 2018 forward to 2019. CITY OF ROSEMOUNT DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA RESOLUTION 2019 - A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE ASSIGNMENT OF CERTAIN 2018 BUDGET ITEMS TO 2019 WHEREAS, the City Council recognizes the need to carry forward to 2019 certain balances from the 2018 General Fund Operating Budget, the 2018 Building CIP Budget, the 2018 Street CIP Budget and the 2018 Equipment CIP Budget, which are summarized as follows: (1) General Fund items that total an amount of $419,000.00; (2) Building CIP items that total an amount of $70,000.00; (3) Street CIP items that total an amount of $53,000; (4) Equipment CIP items that total an amount of $34,000.00; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Rosemount hereby approves the assignment of the above listed account items from the 2018 budgets to 2019.
