Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the transfer of $42,417.00 from the Department of Public Service to the Department of Development. This transfer is necessary to provide funding for the 3P Program. The 3P Program was created in 2011 to coordinate public infrastructure improvement projects funded wholly or partially by the City in support of private development projects. Transferring the program personnel to the Department of Development will allow for the funding and program management to reside in the same Department. The transfer of the program will allow Development Department personnel the opportunity to track a project from inception all the way through construction and successful completion in conjunction with the partnership of all other City departments who need to participate in the project.
Emergency action is requested in order for the immediate transfer of personnel assigned to the 3P Program.
FISCAL IMPACT: This ordinance authorizes a transfer of $42,417.00 within the General Fund from the Department of Public Service to the Department of Development to provide funding for the 3P Program.
