Executive Committee
Report Number: FIN 15-20
Date: December 7, 2020
From: Stan Karwowski
Director, Finance & Treasurer
Subject: 2021 Interim Spending Authority
Recommendation:
1. That the 2021 Interim Operating Expenditures be approved at 50 per cent of the
prior year’s budget, including adjustments, as contained in Attachment 1, pending
approval of the 2021 Current Budget by Council; and
2. That the appropriate City of Pickering officials be authorized to take the necessary
actions as indicated in this report.
______________________________________________________________________
Executive Summary: Adoption of the interim current operating spending authority will
provide funding authorization for the payment of salaries, overhead and such other
accounts as may be necessary for the normal day-to-day operations of the City pending
approval of the 2021 Current Budget.
______________________________________________________________________
Financial Implications: Adoption of the interim current operating appropriations
does not constitute approval of a formal budget but rather is required to provide funding
authorization at the transitional stage. At the conclusion of the budget process, all
interim current operating appropriations are nullified and replaced with the
appropriations as approved by Council.
______________________________________________________________________
Discussion: Each year, pending approval by City Council of the annual Current
Budget, it is necessary to provide expenditure authority respecting the payment of
accounts for the interim period from January 1 until the Budget is adopted by Council.
Such authority is in the form of interim current operatin g appropriations to meet
estimated expense requirements of the individual departments, agencies and boards .
Staff are seeking approval to provide for interim spending authority for up to the first 6
months of 2021 or when Council approves the 2021 Budget, whichever occurs first. The
Roads cost centre has been adjusted to reflect greater than 6 months of the annual
Budget due to the seasonal nature of this cost centre and past spending patt erns. This
has been reflected in Attachment 1.
