2. Authorize the City Manager to make expenditures appropriations in accordance with the Budget as
adopted, with the exception of those expenditures which require prior City Council approval, in
accordance with the adopted City ordinances, rules, and regulations;
3. Authorize the City Manager to transfer budgeted amounts between line items, provided that the
transfer is within the same fund, regardless of the specific department activity. This includes the
authority to transfer from the General Fund budgeted contingency amounts that are approved by
the City Council during the budget adoption. Transfers shall continue to be documented in the
financial records and conveyed to the City Council during the midyear review;
4. Authorize the City Manager to increase revenue and expenditure budget for various departmental
functions, when corresponding revenues comes in over budget: this would apply to developmental
activity, inspection activity, recreation program activity, and any other departmental activity which
generates correlating revenues, as verified by the Finance Director. Increased appropriations shall
continue to be documented in the financial records and conveyed to the City Council during the
midyear review;
5. Authorize the City Manager to increase revenues and expenditures related to the award of grants,
where there is no net impact to the City, as verified by the Finance Director. Increased
appropriations shall continue to be documented in the financial records and conveyed to the City
Council during the midyear review;
6. Authorize the City Manager to make transfers among the various funds, consistent with the “Fund
Balances FY 2026-27” as presented in the Proposed Budget. Fund transfers are reported as part of
the regular financial reports provided to the City Council;
7. Authorize the City Manager to increase the appropriations for Fiscal Year 2026-27 expenditures in
an amount not to exceed the amount of funds encumbered or designated by the City Manager as
needed for expenses that did not occur prior to the year-end, but are expected to be expended in
Fiscal Year 2026-27 consistent with the original purpose. This ability to carry-over funding shall not
apply to savings from personnel costs and shall only occur if the Department Activity total for non-
personnel expenditures was less than the amount budgeted for the same. This must also be
evaluated on a fund-by-fund basis. The actual amount of the increased appropriation shall be
reported to the City Council, and the City Manager may assign the fund balance in an amount
sufficient to account for the increase;
8. Authorize the City Manager to adjust the Fiscal Year 2026-27 appropriations to account for the
carryover of unspent Capital Improvement Program appropriations from Fiscal Year 2025-26. All
such adjustments shall be clearly recorded in the City financial records and shall only be for
projects that remain incomplete as of June 30, 2026;
9. Authorize the City Manager to transfer funds between capital projects, within the same funding
source. Any revisions which alter the project’s budget by adding a new funding source, except new
grants, are to be approved by the City Council;

have been approved by the City Council for specific purposes;
