Council approves supplemental appropriations and emergency payout for retiring employee

Council considered Ordinance No. 36-13 to make supplemental appropriations for operating, capital and trust funds during the 2013 fiscal year and declared an emergency to allow immediate payment. Assistant Finance Director Annetta Williams reviewed the increases, decreases and reallocations covered by the ordinance and explained that an emergency response payout was prorated and paid with a retiring employee's final pay.

Council voted 7-0 to adopt the ordinance declaring an emergency. Williams and staff indicated the ordinance also provides the usual monthly adjustments to show cash flow and to ensure appropriations match expenditures for the remainder of the fiscal year.
