Explanation
Background: The Fleet Management Division sells items from the City's vehicle fleet that are deemed to be unusable or too costly to maintain. The most recent sale of this equipment resulted in income to the City in the amount of $369,099.00. Refuse Collection vehicles accounted for $174,128.00 of this total.
The Refuse Collection Division occupies facilities largely maintained by the Facilities Management Division. These facilities are in need of capital improvements that are not normally included in Refuse Collection Division or Office of Construction Management Capital Improvement budgets. The Refuse Collection Division, therefore, desires to use the funds from the sale of these vehicles to fund some of the needed capital improvements such as a handicap ramp at the Administration Building, new doors and windows at all of their locations, fence repairs, driveway apron replacement, etc.
Fiscal Impact: This legislation will appropriate funds available from the most recent mail sale ($174,128.00) for the purpose of performing needed capital improvement projects for the Refuse Collection Division.

To appropriate $174,128.00 within the General Permanent Improvement Fund in order to provide funding for Refuse Division capital improvements, and to transfer $174,128.00 between projects within said Fund. ($174,128.00)
