ACTION/MOTION: (This language identifies the formal motion to be made by the Council) 
Council to take action on a budget transfer of $210,000 from the Human Resources General Fund
budget to the Self-Insurance Fund to account for all health-related expenditures under the same fund.
SUMMARY
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The Self-Insurance Fund is new to the City's budget in Fiscal Year 2026. The purpose of this fund is to
account for all health-related expenditures for city staff. Some of these costs were previously budgeted
under the Human Resources budget in the General Fund. It is more appropriate to budget and account
for these expenditures under the Self-Insurance Fund going forward. 
BENEFITS:
Finance is recommending all health-related expenditures are budgeted under the Self-Insurance Fund to
assist with management of the fund. This will make it easier to track the true costs of benefits provided
and ensure financial stability for the fund.
FUTURE ACTION:
All health-related expenditures will be budgeted and accounted for under the Self-Insurance Fund.
FINANCIAL IMPACT STATEMENT:
The $210,000 is currently budgeted under 10001115-520037 $165,000 and 10001115-523037 $45,000.
These appropriations will be moved to 31011115-520037 and 31011115-523037.
