Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation requests a transfer of $1,600,000 from Object Level One: 04 to Object Level One: 07 within the Electricity Operating Fund 550. The need to transfer funding within the Electricity Operating Fund budget was identified in the second quarter budget review. A surplus in Object Level One: 04, Principal, and a deficit in Object Level One: 07, Interest, is due to a combined total of principal and interest for debt service being appropriated in Object Level One: 04. This legislation will align the budget authority with projected expenditures.
FISCAL IMPACT: No increase in overall funding is requested. There is sufficient appropriation available in Object Level One: 04, Principal, for this requested transfer to Object Level One: 07, Interest.
