The Johns Creek City Council recently voted to accept the first budget amendment for Fiscal Year 2023.

The city amends the budget at least three times a year to rollover open purchase orders and other unfinished business from the prior fiscal year, to capture activity since the initial budget and to close-out the year and prepare for the audit process.

This budget amendment takes into account open purchase orders for items like a generator and furniture for the Georgia Crime Information Center, uniforms for fire personnel, city apparel and tuition reimbursements for full-time employees, equipment for the information technology department, and uniforms, radios, ballistic shields, tactical equipment and a camera system for the police department.

Additional budget amendments were made for revenues from the new Dwali Festival event, funding for the Cauley Creek Maker Space initiative, to accept a fee for a TSPLOST project and provide for advance repayment on GTIB Loan.
