PRESENTATION, BUDGET C�-1ANGE REQUEST SYSTEM Director of Finance Ralph Seeley gave a presentation regarding the Budget Change Request (BCR) policy in response to Council Nlsmber concerns. The BCR � � 03/O1/88 � � � ; � � � process is implemented whenever a department head recognizes the available � � monies in a particular object code are not sufficient to cover the cost of the � required product or service. To retain account integrity, all purchases must � ? be c:harged to the appropriate object code. If the department head is unable • � to locate money within his own departznent budget, the budget analyst will � assist in locating available monies within the budgets of other departrnents in � the same fund. This mechanism of reallocating monies frcan one object code to � another provides the required flexibility for departrnents to purchase items that are very much needed while maintaining adequate control over the City's � `' � ° financial resources. � ; Council Member Niedermeier stated the policy procedures should have been � brought to Council before implementation. City Manager Dennis Dawson advised � � that the policy in the future w�uld be to allow departments to proceed as � = budgeted in the first quarter and make needed adjustments in the third and ; fourth quarters in order to stay within allocated budgets. The quarterly � ` financial reports wc�uld indicate underages and overages in the individual � ' departments, therefore identifying monies available within the same fund to purchase products or services necessary to provide the desired level of service to the community. The transfer of monies from one fund to another is prohibited. ITII"I 4. PRESENTATION, CAPITAL INIP%JVII�'NT TRACKING PROCESS Director of Public Works Jerry Hodge reviewed the Capital Improvement Tracking process.

The program identifies expenditures on a monthly basis and total expenditures for each project. It also provides a means for monitoring expenditures against the contract figures and allocated figures for a project. � The program was implemented nine months ago and staff is presently tsacking 20 �:, projects with the system.
