More than $4.5 million for capital improvement projects and operating expenditures have been reallocated in the fiscal year 2018-19 budget.
Queen Creek Town Council voted 5-0 April 3 on a consent agenda that included approving the third-quarter budget amendments totaling $4,520,885 in expenditures. Mayor Gail Barney and Councilman Jeff Brown were absent.
Receiving Town Council approval of budget amendments on a regular basis is a best practice to address budget-to-actual variances throughout the year, rather than only at year-end, Scott McCarty, finance director, said in a memo to the Town Council.
