Regular Council Meeting November 13, 2023 Page 6 23. Discuss and act on ORDINANCE NO. 2023-070: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PARIS, TEXAS, AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING THE DIRECTOR OF FINANCE TO DIRECT REVENUES COLLECTED IN EXCESS OF THE 2022-23 BUDGET AMOUNT AND IN EXCESS OF ACTUAL EXPENDITURES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2022-23 TO VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS INCREASING THEIR EXPENDITURE BUDGETS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2022-23 IN AN AMOUNT SUFFICIENT TO COVER ALL OPERATING EXPENSES; MAKING OTHER FINDINGS AND PROVISIONS RELATED TO THE SUBJECT; PROVIDING A REPEALER CLAUSE; A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE, A SAVINGS CLAUSE; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Finance Director Gene Anderson said in September the City did its annual year-end "housekeeping" ordinance increasing certain department budgets while decreasing others in the General Fund to cover expenditures. He also said the General Fund budget did not increase from that ordinance. Mr. Anderson explained that when making the estimates used in the September amendment ordinance, he overlooked the payroll accrual of the September workdays that were not paid until October that included a whole pay period. He said the accrued pay period amounted to a 27a' pay period in the budget year, and in the general funds that amounted to $752,679 of the $899,740 adjustment being requested. He also said the City was fortunate that the 2022-23 General Fund revenues exceeded budget by 11.87% which was more than enough to cover the requested amendment and still add to the General Fund reserve. A Motion to approve this item was made by Mayor Pro -Tem Pankaj and seconded by Council Member Norment. Motion carried, 6 ayes — 0 nays. 24.
