At the July 17, 2007 Council Meeting the City Council approved financial assistance in the amount of $8,356 in FY 2007-08 to be used for football helmet replacement and $8,800 for football helmet replacement in FY2008-09, the request is not budgeted in either year. This report asks City Council to appropriate $8,356 from the unreserved, undesignated General Fund's fund balance and to direct staff to include $8,800 in the FY2008-09 preliminary budget for football helmet replacement. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council approve an appropriation addition of $8,356 in the Community Promotions, Community Contributions account (4200-6320-Fund01) for football helmet replacement for The Rebels using unreserved, undesignated General Fund's fund balance and direct staff to include another $8,800 in the FY2008-09 preliminary budget for football helmet replacement for The Rebels. ANALYSIS In accordance with sound budgeting practices an appropriation must be approved by the City Council before spending can take place. Therefore, to fulfill Council's commitment to contribute $8,356 to The Rebels, the budget must be amended by appropriating $8,356 to the Community Contributions account and reducing the General Fund's fund balance by the same amount.
