CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
City of Anaheim
FINANCE DEPARTMENT
DATE: OCTOBER 28, 2025
FROM: FINANCE DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: CARRYOVER APPROPRIATIONS FROM PRIOR YEAR FOR
ONGOING PROJECTS
ATTACHMENT (Y/N): YES ITEM # 04
GOVERNMENT CODE § 84308 APPLIES: NO
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council, by Motion, approve carryover expenditure appropriations of $156,224,252 from FY 2024/25 to FY 2025/26, as set forth below, for projects previously approved by the City Council but not completed.
DISCUSSION:
Each year, as part of the fiscal closing process, appropriations are requested to be carried over when funds that were budgeted in the prior fiscal year for a specific purpose were not spent or formally encumbered. For example, a street improvement project that was budgeted may not have been completed, or the contract awarded by year-end. In order to meet the obligations for which the funds were intended, appropriations are requested to be carried forward to the subsequent fiscal year. The expenditure carryover requests for FY 2024/25 total $156.2 million, of which $2.5 million is in the General Fund. The General Fund request is for restricted grants related to the Mobile Family Resource Centers, as well as the restricted Certified Unified Program Agencies (CUPA) and Senior Mobility programs.
Approximately 98%, or $152.9 million, of the requests are from restricted sources and are funded by revenues. The remaining unrestricted requests are related primarily to economic development and neighborhood improvements. The attached schedule outlines the amount and description of the FY 2024/25 funds requested for re- appropriation.
Carryover Appropriations from Prior Year for Ongoing Projects October 28, 2025
Unspent appropriations for which funds were encumbered through approval of a contract or issuance of a purchase order prior to the end of the fiscal year are not included in this request.
These legal encumbrances have been carried over administratively.
IMPACT ON BUDGET:
The recommended action will increase the FY 2025/26 expenditure appropriations by $156,224,252, including $2,543,136 in the General Fund, which is primarily from restricted funding sources.
Respectfully submitted,
Deborah A. Moreno
Finance Director/City Treasurer
