Explanation
In accordance with figures projected in the third quarter financial review, it is necessary to transfer projected character 01 surpluses within the Parking Violations Bureau's 2006 budget to other characters to offset other projected deficits within the appropriation to provide for the necessary expenditures for the remainder of the year.
ACS State and Local Solutions provides violation processing services for the City of Columbus. The Contract Compliance number for ACS is 131996647. In accordance with the 2006 quarterly budget review an additional $90,000 is available for the modification of this contract.
The remaining $30,000 is being transferred to Character 06 for the purchase of 2 vehicles for the Parking Enforcement section of the division. It has been over 5 years since any new vehicles have been purchased and the current fleet has vehicles over 10 years old still in operation. The maintenance and upkeep costs of these older vehicles are starting to exceed their value and thus, are in need of replacement. The 2 new vehicles will be purchased separately via the City's universal term contracts.
