The Governing Body is asked to consider and approve publishing a Notice of Budget Hearing for amending the 2020 Budget to reflect actual 2020 expenditures. The proposed date and time of the hearing is December 15th at 1:30 p.m. 

During November, City staff compares actual and estimated expenditures to the authorized budget. Due to changes in programs, cash carryover, and additional revenues there is a need to amend the authorized budget. 

Proposed are the following funds to amend and the justification. 

This agenda item would authorize the publication of a Notice of Budget Hearing for these amendments, making them known in advance of the meeting to the public so that they may be informed and have an opportunity to come speak to the City Commission on the matter prior to you considering and adopting the amendments. 

1. Approve publication of the Notice of Budget Hearing for amending the 2020 budget, setting the time and date of the hearing for 1:30 p.m., December 15, 2020.
2. Do publish a Notice of Budget Hearing and consequently not amend the 2020 budget.  This creates a budget violation governed by KSA 79-2935.

Staff recommends Alternative 1. 

None.
