The City of Big Boot approved its budget for calendar year 2019. In that budget, the annual appropriation for salaries in the General Fund is $6,000,000. At the end of June 2019, the General Fund reported salary expenditures well over $3,000,000.

Assuming that the City incurs salaries ratably throughout the year and does not hire extra personnel, for example, for summer services, what actions could the City take in light of actual salaries expenditures at June 30.
