Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This legislation authorizes an increase in the amount of the imprest petty cash operating fund for a cash drawer within the Permit Section of the Division of Planning & Operations to accommodate the sale of prepaid cash cards for the new IPS parking meters and be able to make change for the customer. This ordinance would allow for an additional $500.00 to the petty cash within the Street Construction Maintenance and Repair Fund (fund 265) for an amount not to exceed $2,000.00, in the Department of Public Service, Division of Planning and Operations.

The 2011 Budget for the Planning and Operations Division can accommodate the increase in the petty cash fund.

Emergency action is requested for this ordinance in order to make this petty cash available and provide change for customers purchasing prepaid cards for parking meters.
