Greg Ingham, City Manager presented for consideration Ordinance No. 11 -3545, an
Ordinance of the City of Plainview Amending Ordinance No. 10 -3529 to Appropriate
Funds in the General Fund and Various Revenue and Capital Funds Pursuant to
Section 5.07 (A) And (D) of the Plainview City Charter Allowing for Supplemental
Appropriations in the 2010 -2011 Budget; Cumulativeness Clause; Conflicts Clause;
Severability Clause; And Effective Date. He stated that while we normally wait until
near the end of the year to formally amend the City's budget, this year we feel we need
to make amendments now. The Certificates of Obligation to fund the water and sewer
projects were finally approved at the end of September, 2010, so the projects were not
included in the City's 2010 -2011 Budget which was being adopted at the same time.
Since these projects are now moving forward, we want to amend the Fiscal Year 2010-
2011 Budget to include the use of these funds. We are also amending the budget in
Fund 105 Economic Development to cover the expenses for the website upgrade that
was initially thought to happen in 2009 -2010.
