TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS
2023-24 BUDGET IMPLEMENTATION POLICY
1. Definitions. The following definitions shall apply for purposes of this policy.
A. “Budget Unit” is a Town department as designated on the Town’s
organization chart, including the Town Municipal Court.
B. “Capital Expenditures” are those capital expenditures exceeding $50,000
that require the approval of the Town Manager and Town Council.
C. “Contingency” appropriation used for unforeseen, emergency, or critical
needs when current budget appropriation is inadequate and revenues are
adequate to support.
D. “Fund(s)” is a fiscal and accounting mechanism with a self-balancing set
of accounts recording cash and financial resources.
E. “Financial Resources” are cash or equivalents held by the Town in bank or
investment accounts.
2. Transfer of Funds.
A. Transfers within a Fund. After adoption of the fiscal budget by the Town
Council, any Budget Unit has the authority to reprogram financial resources
within its department’s line items. These departments of the budget will be
controlled by bottom line total only. Transfers between General Fund
departments are allowed with the approval of the Department Director,
Chief Financial Officer, and Town Manager. Transfers of Contingency
from the General Government Department in excess of the Town
Manager’s purchasing authority must also be approved by Town Council
according to Section 10. A report of each transfer will be approved by the
Department Director and submitted to the Finance Division through the
financial accounting system for processing.
B. Transfers between Funds. After adoption of the fiscal budget by the Town
Council, any budgetary transfer between Funds will require approval
from the Town Council according to the standards set forth in ARS §42-
17106. Prior to any transfer, the Department must provide sufficient
documentation to the Town Manager and the Town Council that funding
exists.
C. Reprogramming of Wages. No financial resources may be reprogrammed
to or from the “wages” section of the Budget Unit’s adopted budget without
consultation with, and approval by, the Town Manager. The requesting
Department Director must submit a memorandum and any necessary
supporting documentation to the Town Manager, and the Town Manager
2
will notify the Finance Division of approved transfers of financial resources
to or from the “wages” section of the budget.
D. Reprogramming of Capital Financial Resources. No financial resources
may be reprogrammed to or from the “capital expenditures” section of the
Budget Unit’s adopted budget without consultation with, and approval by,
the Town Manager and the Town Council. The requesting Department
Director must submit a memorandum and any necessary supporting
documentation to the Town Manager. If approved by the Town Council,
the Town Manager will notify the Finance Division of the reprogrammed
financial resources.
E. Carryover Appropriations. The Finance Division may approve appropriation
transfers for carried over operating/capital items (i.e., IT infrastructure,
equipment, vehicles and facility improvements) if the Town Council
previously appropriated the operating/capital item in a prior fiscal year. All
carryover appropriation transfers must be submitted to the Town Council for
approval, and all carryover appropriation transfers shall be reflected in the
appropriate budget reports.
3. Expenditure Restrictions.
A. Budget Hold for Prior Exceedance. Any General Fund Budget Unit that
exceeded its budget in the prior fiscal year may be subject to immediate
budget hold status in the current fiscal year. However, if a Budget Unit
exceeded its budget in the prior fiscal year due to a one-time emergency
purchase, and proof of such an emergency (in a form acceptable to the
Town Manager) can be shown, the budget hold status will be removed.
B. Remedies for Budget Exceedance. Once a Budget Unit has exceeded its
expenditure limitation, the Finance Division shall notify the Budget Unit,
in writing, that the appropriate expenditure limit has been exceeded. The
Budget Unit must then consult and reach an agreement with the Finance
Division and the Town Manager regarding the remedies available to either
restore spending to a level approved in the budget for the balance of the
fiscal year or to request additional financial resources as set forth in
Subsection 3(C) below.
C. Requests for Additional Financial Resources. When additional financial
resources are requested, the Finance Division and Town Manager must
concur before the Budget Unit may expend the additional financial
resources. If the expenditure of additional financial resources requires a
budget transfer between Funds, the recommendation shall be forwarded to
the Town Council for approval. Any Budget Unit that has exceeded its
limitations shall submit an expenditure reduction program to the Town
Manager through the Finance Division as part of any request for additional
expenditures. The expenditure reduction program shall include, but not be
3
limited to, consideration of reductions in force of budgeted and authorized
positions, termination of all travel expenditures, suspension or termination
of contracts and such other expenditure reductions as the Budget Unit deems
appropriate.
4. Fund Balance. All budget considerations, including expenditure of appropriated
financial resources, shall adhere to the Town of Fountain Hills Financial Policies,
Amended and Restated May 5, 2020, or the most recent version of later-adopted
editions of such financial policies.
5. Fiscal Priorities. The 2023-24 budget is intended to implement the Town Council’s
top fiscal priorities.
6. Positions.
A. General Provisions.
(1) Section 3-1-1 of the Town Code states that the Town Manager
shall be the administrative officer of the Town government and
may appoint and, when necessary, suspend or remove all employees
of the Town, except those officers appointed by the Town Council.
All appointments and removals shall be based upon merit and upon
the qualifications and disqualifications of such employee without
regard to any political belief or affiliation; prior to any creation,
combination, consolidation or deletion of any positions of
employment, written job descriptions or amendments thereto shall
have been approved by the Town Council.
(2) All requests for new positions or reclassification of existing
positions, regardless of the funding source, must be approved by
the Town Council. Reclassification of existing positions (filled and
vacant) should include justification of why budget savings,
including savings from deleted positions, should be used to create
new positions and how the position will align/impact Town strategic
priorities and departmental goals. Departments must submit their
requests to Administrative Services, and Administrative Services
will review job description and salary information prior to
forwarding information to the Town Manager. The Town Manager
will review and make a recommendation to the Town Council to
either approve or deny the request.
(3) Intergovernmental agreements, grants, etc. that require/authorize
additional positions must be approved by the Town Council. The
position and the budgetary impact must be fully disclosed to
Administrative Services and the Finance Division, which shall be
responsible for analyzing the input and presenting such analysis
to the Town Council in conjunction with any request for approval as
4
part of an intergovernmental agreement, grant, or other agreement.
(4) All authorized positions must be fully funded by the General Fund,
a Special Revenue Fund, or a grant. If a position becomes unfunded
or under-funded by its original funding source, it must be fully
funded immediately from other sources or eliminated. An under-
funded position is a position for which a department/funding
source has only 1% to 99% of the funding required to support it
on an annualized basis. If eliminating unfunded or under-funded
positions results in a Reduction in Force, the Administrative Services
Director shall prepare a layoff plan for approval by the Town
Manager.

10. Contingency Appropriation. The purpose of a Contingency appropriation is to

critical items if there are sufficient revenues to do so. Contingency appropriations
will be established within the General Government Department for general
purposes or in other Funds reserved for specific issues. All requests for the use

review. If the Contingency expenditure exceeds the Town Manager’s purchasing
authority, the Town Council must approve the transfer from Contingency
appropriations.
11. Budget Adoption. This budget is being adopted by the Town Council at the F und
level. Each F und is a fiscal and accounting mechanism with a self-balancing set
of accounts to record the receipt, use, and/or transfer of financial resources. The
department level budget detail that is contained within the financial system is
designed and used wholly as a management tool for the individual departments.
12. Vehicles/Equipment and Capital Projects. The Town Council appropriates financial
resources to purchase vehicles/equipment and to complete capital projects as part
of the fiscal year 2023-24 budget. Additional financial resources requested during
the fiscal year for these items are subject to the conditions below.
A. Requests between $10,001 and $50,000. Vehicle/equipment requests and
capital expenditure requests (8000 series Object Codes) must be approved

resources. Requests shall be made in writing to the Chief Financial Officer
and the Town Manager. The Town Manager shall either approve, deny or
refer the item to Town Council.
B. Capital Project Requests over $50,000. All additional requests for
vehicles/equipment and capital expenditure requests that exceed $50,000,
regardless of the funding source, must be submitted to the Finance Division
and Town Manager for review. If the Town Manager recommends the
request, it will be submitted to the Town Council for approval.
