Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation amends the 2008 Capital Improvement Budget and authorizes the City Auditor to transfer funds between projects within the Safety Bond Fund. Four completed Capital Improvement Projects in Public Safety have leftover funds that need transferred to projects that are still in progress. The funds to be transferred are each less than one thousand dollars and are no longer needed in the current projects. In addition, this ordinance authorizes amendments to the Capital Improvement Budget which will account for recent encumbrance cancellations.
Fiscal Impact: There is no net financial impact with these transfers. This transaction merely aligns cash with projected expenditures and rids the accounting system of projects with leftover cash of less than one thousand dollars.
Emergency Designation: Emergency legislation is requested in order to complete this transaction before the end of the year.
