Staff explains Workday reporting error, says auditors and staff will correct ACFR footnote and available‑funds numbers

Staff told council migration from JD Edwards to Workday produced reporting differences in the ACFR (footnote 12) that overstated commitments and understated available funds in several funds (Fleet, Drainage, others). Staff said they are working with auditors (CLA) to correct the report and temporarily adjusted cash‑flow displays to show the true starting balances for budgeting purposes.

Staff said the numbers were correct in the underlying ledgers but that a commitment schedule used in the ACFR footnote did not pull previously capitalized expenditures correctly after the migration to Workday, overstating outstanding commitments.
