Explanation
This ordinance makes transfers and changes to appropriations for the 12 months ending December 31, 2008, in various divisions and departments and funds. Various situations require changes to the original 2008 budget ordinances, as amended. These changes are due to 1) a reorganization in the Department of Development which requires a transfer of appropriation between divisions; 2) a request from the City Auditor to make substitutions in items being funded through Permanent Improvement Fund dollars; 3) additional appropriation required in the employee benefits fund to accommodate DoT charges which were inadvertently left out of the original appropriation ordinance; and 4) an appropriation reduction in the water operating fund due to double counting of revenue debt in the original ordinance.
Fiscal Impact: All of the funds included herein reflect current revenue estimates by the City Auditor and the Department of Finance and Management.
Title
To authorize a transfer of $788,147 within the general fund, Department of Development; to authorize a transfer of $356,910 within the general fund among various divisions; to appropriate $446,910 within the general permanent improvement fund; to reduce appropriations within the general improvement fund in certain divisions by $424,217; to transfer and appropriate $356,910 within the general permanent improvement fund to various divisions; to authorize a $59,850 supplemental appropriation within the Employee Benefits Fund; to authorize a reduction of $3,688,024 within the Water Operating Fund, and to declare an emergency.
Body
