Explanation

Background: Ordinance No. 0150-2006 passed February 13, 2006, authorizing the City Attorney to acquire certain property rights, and to expend certain monies in connection with the South Wellfield Expansion Project.  The original amount of funding made available for this project was done so with the understanding that additional monies may be needed at a later date.  It is now necessary to increase the Auditor's Certificate established by the aforementioned ordinance by the amount of $500,000.00 to pay for additional costs in connection with this project.

Fiscal Impact: The Department of Public Utilities, Division of Power and Water has determined funding for this increase will be from the Waterworks Enlargement 1991 Bonds Fund.

Emergency Justification: Emergency action is requested to allow the acquisition of the parcels necessary for this project to proceed without delay.
