Explanation
BACKGROUND: Ordinance Number 1001-2009 passed by City Council on July 27, 2009, authorized the Finance and Management Director to procure a Gas Chromatograph/Mass Spectrometer in the amount of $97,139.30 from the Law Enforcement Seizure fund for use by the Police Crime Lab. However, Section 3 of the ordinance mistakenly authorized an expenditure of $91,139.30 instead of the correct amount of $97,139.30. This ordinance corrects this mistake by amending Section 3. as follows: "That the expenditure of $91,139.30...", must be changed to read, "That the expenditure of $97,139.30...".
Bid Information: N/A
Contract Compliance: N/A
Emergency Designation: Emergency legislation is requested so that a purchase order may be issued based upon the original ordinance authorization.
Fiscal Impact: The effect of this amendment change noted in the BACKGROUND section will require the encumbering of an additional $6,000.00 from the Law Enforcement Seizure fund for the purchase of the Gas Chromatograph/Mass Spectrometer. There are sufficient funds in the Law Enforcement Seizure fund to accommodate this additional encumbrance.
