Explanation
BACKGROUND:
The German Village Commission had a change in fiscal agents in late 2003. Because of this fiscal agent change, the encumbrance originally established to cover their 2003 operating expenses was cancelled. It is now necessary to appropriate the amount cancelled so that the area commission can be reimbursed for 2003 operating expenses. This legislation appropriates $3000.00 from the Area Commission Fund to the Department of Development.
Emergency action is requested so that reimbursement can be made to the German Village Commission for expenses incurred during the previous year.
FISCAL IMPACT:
$3000.00 was cancelled from the 2003 encumbrance for the German Village Commission due to a change in fiscal agents. This legislation will allow the appropriation of this same amount so that reimbursement can be made to the commission for 2003 operating expenses.
