After each budget year, the City is required to amend the budget when expenditures or revenues in a fund exceed the amount budgeted in that fund.

The amendment to the Governmental Capital Fund is to show a revenue which was transferred from the General Fund after City Council approval. The General Fund amendment is to show the expense of the transfer to the Governmental Capital Fund.
