Montana Code allows local governments to amend their fiscal year budgets by using the same method as used for the original budget adoption: public notice, public hearing and Council adopting a resolution. The following amendments are proposed for FY 2016 per Council approval of pay increases for all employees and a Council Initiative.
The purpose for the FY 16 budget amendments is to provide budget authority to adjust the budgets of the following funds: General–Municipal Court, Administration, Finance, Legal, Human Resources, Code Enforcement, Parks & Recreation, Public Safety Non-Departmental– Police & Fire, Gas Tax, Building Inspection, Street/Traffic, EOC/911, Planning, Library, Water, Wastewater, Parking, Solid Waste, Airport, Transit, Fleet Services, Telephone Systems, Information Technology, Property/Liability, Facilities Management, Public Works–Administration & Engineering and Park District 1. These amendments allow each of the Funds to expend money for the wage/salary increases
