are conducted at which all interested persons' comments concerning the budget for the next fiscal year are heard. The budget is legally enacted by the City Council through passage of an ordinance not later than the 27'x' day of the last month prior to the beginning of the fiscal year. Generally, appropriations are legally adopted at the department level. Budgetary controls are maintained at the major category of expenditure level within each operating division. All anticipated expenditures are budgeted for control purposes. Capital project funds are appropriated on a project by project basis. Expenditures and/or expenses are directly monitored by the City Council through financial reports provided to them. Internal Controls Internal accounting controls are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance of the safeguarding of assets against loss from unauthorized use or disposition and reliable financial records for preparing financial statements and maintaining accountability for assets. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived. All internal control evaluations occur within this framework. The Finance Department's staff believes the City's internal control structure adequately ensures compliance with laws and regulations and reasonable assurance for safeguarding of assets.
