Approve the budget amendment of the City Manager's Contingency Fund. (Jared Askelson, Finance Director)

This action will amend the budget to increase the City Manager's Office budget by $65,000 for the purpose of conducting a payroll assessment.  The amendment will reduce the available one-time City Manager's Contingency from $350,000 to $285,000.  The citywide budget total remains unchanged within the Adopted State Expenditure Limitation.

Budget amendments requiring City Council approval are presented as necessary throughout the year. The FY2025 expenditure limitation budget was adopted on June 12, 2024.

Budget transfers are permitted by Arizona Revised Statute 42-17106(B), which provides authorization for cities and towns to exceed expenditures in a budget item after final adoption of a city/town budget by transferring appropriations between budget items. All budget transfers are completed within city policy established by Resolution 2022-2256. Review of budget transfers keeps the Council and public informed about the city's current fiscal year revenues and expenditures.
