If the grant is not awarded, n. expenditures will occur, however, your approval of this motion will permit the expedited start of the Summer Lunch Program." Motion of Mr. King and seconded by Mr. Clemons, the recommendation to transfer $77,162 from the Grants Contingency Account for the 1~93 Summer Breakfast and Lunch Program as awarded by the United States Department of Agriculture was adopted and by the following votI: Ayes: Clemons, Epperson, Griffin, Hawks, King, Pitts, Webb Nays: None 93-211 Letter from the City Manager recommending adoption of a motion to receiye as information the Quarterly Financial Report for t~e period ended Marc~ 31, 1993. "In accordance with ~ection 12-64 of the City Code, the Quarterly Financial Report for the period ended March 31, 1993 is ~nerewith submitted." Actual reven'aes to date stand at 62 percent of the revenues estimated for the year, and 68 percent of the appropriations have been expended as of March 31, 1993. During the same quarter last year 0 percent o~ the estimated revenues nad been received and expenditures were 71 percent of the budget appropriations. ~nile the important last quarter of the fiscal year lies ahead, with its d~sproportionately large share of revenues to come in, the expenditure reduction over last year is certainly worthy of co.m~.ent. It i~ my belief that the three percentage points reduction in expehditures over the previous year is reflecting the results of the Workforce Management program as well as a concerted effort on the part of management to hold the line on expenditures."
