Commissioners told animal-control budget entry and $47,000 'uncategorized income' need correction
Summary
Workshop participants flagged that the animal-control line item shows $0 actuals against a $375,000 budget allocation that may be posted to solid waste revenue instead; attendees also highlighted $47,000 posted as 'uncategorized income' needing reclassification.
During the workshop attendees pointed to specific line-item problems in the city's accounting. A staff speaker noted that line item 00346400 for animal control shows an actual of $0 and a budget of $375,000; the presenter said that $375,000 belongs under a solid-waste revenue code instead, which suggests the budget totals were keyed into the wrong account.
Commissioners and attendees also focused on an "uncategorized income" line (49900) showing about $47,000 in deposits that have not been posted to proper accounts. One participant said, "Uncategorized income is deposits that they have gotten in, but they have not posted to the proper accounts," and urged that these amounts be reclassified to clarify real revenue sources for forecasting.
