Explanation
BACKGROUND: The German Village Commission, Historic Preservation Commission, Brewery District Commission and Victorian Village Commission did not execute the documents needed to establish an encumbrance for payment of their 2004 operating expenses. It is now necessary to appropriate $2,000.00 per Commission so that the Commissions can be reimbursed for 2004 operating expenses. This legislation appropriates $8,000.00 from the Area Commission Fund to the Department of Development.

This legislation will allow the appropriation of $8,000 so that reimbursement can be made to the commissions for 2004 operating expenses.
Emergency action is requested so that reimbursement can be made to the German Village Commission, Historic Preservation Commission, Brewery District Commission and Victorian Village Commission as soon as possible.
