THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH IN REGARD TO BUDGET
CONTROL"
WHEREAS, the purpose of this resolution is to insure re-
sponsible fiscal control of unbudgeted items presented to the
City Council in the form of ordinances, resolutions, minute
actions, appropriations, orders for the payment of money, and

where such action shall or may have an impact upon the budget .
The basic assumption underlying this resolution is that informed
and intelligent action must be preceded by and based upon fiscal
data and information, and upon an understanding and appreciation
of the impact of such action upon the budget. It is recognized
that an integrated and orderly budgetary process requires a
budget in balance and that any action of the City Council that
shall or may disturb or affect such balance must be preceded
by thorough study and analysis . Where unbudgeted expenditures
are authorized by the City Council, it is and shall be the
policy of the city that adequate provision must first be made
for the funding of such proposals through the budgetary process
to the end that the budget be and remain in balance. It is a
policy of the City of Huntington Beach that the Council shall
not create a deficit in the city' s budget by any action of the
Council . This statement constitutes the official policy of the
City of Huntington Beach.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of Huntington Beach as follows :

SECTION 2. FINANCIAL ANALYSIS REQUIRED. The City
Administrator with the assistance of the staff shall prepare

the current fiscal year's budget, a detailed financial analysis
of the proposed action, giving the impact, both positive and
negative, upon the city' s budget . A cash flow time analysis
shall be included to compare proposed cash outlay timing with
cash receipt schedule from the revenue source proposed. Such
analysis shall be contained in a report entitled, "Financial
Impact Report . "
SECTION 3. REVIEW OF FINANCIAL IMPACT REPORT BY CITY
COUNCIL REQUIRED FOR UNBUDGETED ITEMS. The City Council shall
not adopt any ordinance, resolution, appropriation, order for
payment of money, minute action or any other action, without

such action and to keep the budget in balance. The provisions

which cost more money than the amount budgeted for such items.
