6.d. Redesignation of General Fund Balance
Council member Essler pulled item 6.d. redesignation of general fund balance for a better
understanding of the process. Director of Finance May was present and elaborated further on the
process of redesignation and the timeline of the process.
Council member Essler ideally would like council to be informed sooner than March of any overage
or unused general funds in order to better make decisions regarding the general fund and budget.
Mr. May stated the numbers being requested will be an estimate as several purchases are made in
November and December meaning an accurate number is typically not available until mid-February.
This understanding was acceptable to the Council.
