Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation transfers a total of $225,000.00 from Object Level One 02, Materials and Supplies, to Object Level One 03, Services, within the Electricity Operating Fund 550. The transfer is requested to cover anticipated expenses for services for the remainder of the 2008 Fiscal Year.
This transfer is necessary primarily due to higher than anticipated costs for internal services.
