Executive Summary with Rationale and Impact:

Detailed description of the item and why we are doing it. This can be a separate attachment.

This request will approve making an appropriation of $2,243,000 from General Fund Reserves, in the General Fund cash transfer org (01010-9926100), and making an appropriation in the City Attorney’s Liability Claims Fund (11827-4510000).  This will provide sufficient budget capacity to fund previously approved settlements and claims year-to-date.

 

Per Fiscal Accountability rules, the Assigned Fund Balance is unappropriated funds in the General Fund that are intended by the Department of Finance to be used for specific purposes but are neither restricted nor committed. Per the 2023 Budget, the Chief Financial Officer designated funds in the Assigned Fund Balance to address potential liabilities against the City.
