Page 21 - Grapevine FY23 Adopted Budget (1)

After all funding levels are established, the proposed budget is presented by the City Manager to the
City Council in a workshop session. Public notices of the effective tax rate are published in the local
newspaper in accordance with state law. A public hearing is held after the City Council has reviewed
the budget during the budget workshop session. In a special meeting held prior to September 15, the
City Council approves the level of expenditure (“appropriation”) for each fund to become effective
October 1.

BUDGET AMENDMENT PROCESS

To amend the current year budget, the requesting individual/department must complete a Budget
Amendment Request Form (BARF) in the Laserfiche document management system. The
completed form is routed to the Management Services Director (budget manager) for review and
approval. If required, an ordinance is then prepared for City Council consideration at a regularly
scheduled City Council meeting, where public discussion and debate are possible. If approved by
vote of the City Council, the necessary budgetary changes are made.
