City Clerk
City of Kenai
Kenai, Alaska
I Bear Mrs. Torkilsen,

PHONE 262.4537
In answer to your Zuestions regarding City Funds, the
following, should Le observed.
All City cf Kenai funds are either General Fund or bridge
Fund monies.
When your budget is approved, revenues and expenditures for
the following fiscal year are :anticipated and approvel. If the
anticipated revenues exceed the anticipated expenditures the
difference will tend to increase the General Fund :surplus.
If, after a portion of the fiscal year has expired, an un-
forseen expenditure arises, money must be appropriated by
council approval to cover that expenditure. This can come from
General Fund Sur lus if there is any. If there is no Gurplus
t e u get must be reviewed and amended to obtain the money
from some other source - which can be accomplished if collections
are exceeding anticipated revenues, or if some other expenditure
is less than has been anticipated.
1 would like to suggest that you check with the City Attorney
to see if it is permissible for the City Council to approve
expenditures from prior years' surplus without voter approval.
In addition to the above, a separate bank account should
be established for the Bridge Fund, as the property tax ordinance
specifically states that the taxes collected from property south
of the Kenai River be put in a separate fund. If a separate
bank account is not established, and the bank account used by
the General Fund should drop below the amount due to the Eridae
Fund, the City of Kenai would be spending the Bridge Fund money.
Establishing, a separate bank account would eliminate this
possibility.
Sincerely,
T. W. Gaines
