Explanation
Background: The 2004 Third Quarter Financial Review projected variances within 2004 Development Services Fund appropriation authority in the Transportation Division and the Public Service Director's Office. Positive variances are projected for all Object Level One expenditure categories (personnel, supplies and materials, services and capital outlay) in the Transportation Division and a small negative variance of $330.00 is projected in the Service Director's Office portion of the Development Services fund. This ordinance transfers appropriation authority between divisions consistent with the third quarter financial review.

Fiscal Impact: These transfers are necessary to allow the Public Service Director's office to meet anticipated 2004 spending needs. Personnel expenditures for the Public Service Director's office that are funded via the Development Services Fund are projected to exceed what was budgeted by approximately $11,055.00. The negative variance in personnel expenditures are the result of CMAGE pay increases and unbudgeted Worker's Compensation costs. Most of this negative personnel variance is offset by an anticipated positive variance in the services portion of the Director's office budget, but these funds remain encumbered to pay possible Department of Technology charges.

Overall, however, a negative $330.00 is projected for the Development Services portion of the Public Service Director's office. This transfer of funds within the Development Services Fund from the Transportation Division to the Public Service Director's office is necessary to meet the obligations as stated in the 2004 Third Quarter Financial Review.

Emergency action is requested to effect these transfers as soon as possible to allow for the unimpeded financial operations of these divisions during the balance of the year; quick posting also contributes to accurate and timely accounting practices.
