AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO 99-322 ADOPTING THE 1999-2000
BUDGET' AND ANNUAL PROGRAM OF SERVICES TO INCREASE THE 1999-2000
FLEET SERVICES BUDGET IN THE AMOUNT OF ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY
EIGHT THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED AND TEN DOLLARS DUE TO AN UNANTICI-
PATED INCREASE IN THE COST OF FUEL, PROVIDING FOR PUBLICATION AND FIL-
ING WITH THE COUNTY CLERK, AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE
WHEREAS, since the 1999-2000 City Budget was adopted, there has been a significant
increase in the price of crude oil, gasoline and other fuels, and
WHEREAS, the City Manager advised the City Council that such an increase requiring
additional revenue and expenditure was not reasonably anticipated prior to the adoption of the
1999-2000 budget and could not have been included in the original budget, and
WHEREAS, the significant increase in fuel prices has caused an imbalance in the Fleet
Services Budget which requires an increase of $188,910 to provide an amended budget amount
of $700,000, and
WHEREAS, Section 8 08 of the Charter of the City of Denton and Section 102 009 of the
Texas Local Government Code provide that a governing body may authorize an emergency ex-
penditure as an amendment to the original budget only in a case of grave public necessity to meet
an unusual and unforeseen condition that could not have been included in the original budget
through the use of reasonably diligent thought and attention, and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the failure to amend the budget and expend the
funds discussed above will create the probability that many municipal vehicles performing vital
public health, safety, and welfare activities will have to curtail operations due to a lack of fuel
which will create a grave public necessity and that this condition of significant fuel price in-
creases is an unusual and unforeseen condition that could not have been included in the original
budget though the use of diligent thought and attention and requires the 1999-2000 budget to be
amended and increased in the amount of One Hundred Eighty Eight Thousand and Ten Dollars
($188,010), NOW, THEREFORE
