Explanation
This ordinance appropriates money in the City Print & Mail Services Fund for the 12 months ending December 31, 2010. The purpose of this appropriation is to allow the Purchasing Division to fund Universal Term Contracts in the period between passage of this ordinance and passage of the Other Funds appropriation ordinance. In order to establish Universal Term Contracts, the Purchasing Office needs minimal appropriation. This ordinance will forestall delays of up to a month in contracting for important services, thereby allowing City Divisions to begin using these contracts immediately upon budget passage.
Fiscal Impact: The Mail, Print Services and UTC Fund appropriation is $50. It is not the intention of this appropriation to increase overall spending in 2010.
Emergency action is requested to ensure Universal Term Contracts are not delayed and ready for City use upon passage of the budget.
