Committee hears that $37,154 transfer stems from budget roll‑up coding errors; item tabled
Summary
The city auditor told the finance committee that a $37,154 transfer is needed because budget roll-up codes between software systems were misassigned; the committee moved to table the order while seeking further review.
The committee considered a mayoral order to transfer $37,154 from the mayor's 'purchase of services' account to 'other charges and expenses' to correct roll‑up coding errors discovered after the proposed budget was prepared.
The city auditor explained the discrepancy arose because the budget book used roll‑up codes different from those in the city's financial system, resulting in the same dollar totals but misassigned roll-ups. The auditor said the timing in the fiscal year likely prevents immediate payment problems, though one department (the assessors) currently shows a negative balance on paper. The committee made a motion to table the item for further review.
