Explanation
Background: This ordinance authorizes the appropriation of $213,573.66 in the Recreation and Parks Permanent Improvement Fund 7747 to be applied towards the costs of facility furniture and fixture improvements projects via an expenditure correction.
The Recreation and Parks Department completed some facility furniture and fixture projects earlier this year. These were originally funded with the Recreation and Parks Operating Fund 2285. In working with the Department of Finance and Management, it has been determined that these were capital eligible expenditures. In order to capitalize these expenditures, the Recreation and Parks Department is seeking authorization to perform an expenditure correction to move these costs to the Recreation and Parks Permanent Improvement Fund 7747. PO432267, PO428822, PO431666, and PO464269 have been identified as the purchase orders to be expenditure corrected. These expenditures are a total of $169,615.11. PO460774, in the amount of $43,958.55, has not been invoiced. This purchase order will be cancelled and replaced with a new purchase order with the corrected funding.
Emergency Justification: Emergency action is being requested in order to capitalize the expenditures and replenish the Recreation and Parks Operating Fund 2285 as soon as possible leading into the end of the 2024 Fiscal Year.
