Ordinance 11-2020: An ordinance on second reading amending the 2020 Littleton Stormwater and Flood Management Utility Enterprise budget
Body
Prepared By:
Tiffany Hooten, Finance Department
POLICY QUESTION:
Does city council support an amendment to the 2020 Littleton Stormwater and Flood Management Utility Enterprise budget?
PRESENTATIONS:
Staff Presenter(s): Tiffany Hooten, Finance Director
Additional Presenter(s): N/A
SUMMARY:
During the year, departments issue purchase orders for projects, goods, or services to encumber funds for these projects.
