Motion by Mr. Hugel, and seconded by Ms. Lucas-Burke, to adopt the minutes of a Closed Meeting of July 24, 2023, of a Called Meeting of July 25, 2023, and of a Regular Meeting of July 25, 2023, and was adopted by the following vote: Ayes: Barnes, Hugel, Lucas-Burke, Tillage, Whitaker, Glover Nays: None Abstain: Moody (Was absent from July 24, 2023, and July 25, 2023 meetings) . - City Manager’s Report - 23 - 261 - Adoption of an ordinance appropriating $24,059 to the FY 2024 Social Services Fund Budget for the purpose of completing Adult Protective Services and Independent Living Initiative grants. Background:  City Council appropriated grant funding for the Adult Protective Services and Independent Living Initiative programs to the FY 2023 Social Services Fund Budget.  The City has been performing activities related to those grants; however, the work remains ongoing.  Because Council appropriations to the Social Services Fund Budget lapse at the end of the fiscal year, it is necessary to appropriate the remaining grant funding to the FY 2024 Social Services Fund Budget so that it can be expended this fiscal year.  The grants are funded on a reimbursement basis, and as such no fund balance appropriation is necessary. Under the grant terms, the city can receive reimbursement for expenditures of up to $16,675 for Adult Protective Services and up to $7,384 for the Independent Living Initiative. Discussion:  In order to complete the work required by the grants, it is necessary to reappropriate the remaining funding to the FY 2024 Social Services Fund.  This reappropriation does not reflect an increased cost of the grants. It is only necessary because the original funding was appropriated to the FY 2023 Social Services budget and the grant-funded work will not be completed until FY 2024. Financial Impact:  The appropriated funding will be expended for the completion of the grants. Recommended Action :  Adoption of the ordinance. Next Steps Following Council Action :  The Finance Department will make the necessary budget adjustment. Motion by Ms. Lucas-Burke, and seconded by Mr. Hugel, to adopt the following ordinance, and was adopted by the following vote: “ORDINANCE APPROPRIATING $24,059 TO THE FY 2024 SOCIAL SERVICES FUND BUDGET FOR THE PURPOSE OF COMPLETING ADULT PROTECTIVE SERVICES AND INDEPENDENT LIVING INITIATIVE GRANTS.”
