necessary expenses and liabilities of the City of Grand Island was approved on September 8,
2020 as ordinance #9783.
SECTION 2. Due to unforeseen circumstances, actual expenditures for the current fiscal
year will exceed budgeted expenditures unless the current fiscal year budget of expenditures is
revised. An increase of $36,720,253 additional budget authority is required. The additional
increase was because of the following reasons. The February 2021 weather event caused our
Electric Department higher than normal power purchasing requirements. Our employee cafeteria
plan had more pass through money than was planned. Our special assessment fund had expenses
from an unplanned foreclosure process. The originally adopted budget of expenditures cannot
be reduced during the remainder of the current fiscal year to meet the need for additional money
because the funds are used for a specific reason and can't be cut to assist with savings.
