Saratoga Springs makes mid-year budget adjustments February 14, 2018, 7:06 amState statute requires that cities amend their budgets to appropriate or account for funds for increased/decreased expenditures. While budget adjustments are made throughout the year, most cities formally present updated information to their councils in November or December. In Saratoga Springs, the most significant adjustment was to the water department's capital fund where the city shifted funds it had left over from previous projects to four other projects. In the water fund, leftover funds ($100,000) from a culinary transmission line project (Zone 1N) were transferred to help pay for master plans and land purchases for future projects. In the secondary water impact fund, there was $432,210 left over from the Foothills South pump and pipe project and $635,561 from the Foothills North projects. Some of that leftover money was put toward construction of the ULDC pump station ($250,000) and Marina pump station ($100,145) and the Zone 1 North Pipeline project ($125,000). The remainder, $545,350, was put into the fund balance, (essentially the water department's savings account). The water operations fund helped purchase ($31,000) a new fixed network reader. (Some of the cost was offset by a grant.) Adjustments were made to the books for Bluffdale Police Department expenditures ($16,160) after final numbers came in. Bluffdale contracts with Saratoga Springs for police services, and, according to Management Analyst Daniel Widenhouse, complete figures were not available when the budget was prepared.
