Explanation

The Public Service Department, Transportation Division, employs personnel that are engaged in traffic sign, signal installation and permanent pavement marking activities. These personnel are budgeted within and paid from the division's operating fund, the Street Construction, Maintenance and Repair Fund. These costs can be capitalized. Doing so is consistent with earlier efforts by the Division to reimburse its operating fund when the operating fund incurred expenses more appropriate to capital improvement funding (Ordinances 1795-2004, 0191-2005, 1728-2005, 2162-2005 and 0385-2006).

This ordinance authorizes the expenditure of $609,354.52 or so much thereof as may be necessary for this purpose.

Emergency Action is requested in order to provide needed funding to the Street Construction, Maintenance and Repair Fund prior to the end of the year.

Fiscal Impact: This expenditure is budgeted within the Transportation Division's 2006 Bond Sale in the 1995, 1999, 2004 Voted Streets and Highways Fund in the Roadway Improvements and Resurfacing projects. Due to the need for these funds now and the availability of funds from the 2005 Bond Sale and encumbrance cancellations of completed projects these funds are being legislated now. The 2006 revenue estimate for the Street Construction, Maintenance and Repair Fund reflects and assumes this revenue.
