Explanation
The purpose of this legislation is to request the transfer of $1,400,000.00 between Object Level Ones within the existing appropriations of the Water System Operating Fund from the Department of Public Utilities and the Division of Operational Support to the Division of Water and between Object Levels within the Division of Water.

Earlier in fiscal year 2005 appropriations were transferred from the Division of Water to the Department of Public Utilities and the Division of Operational Support. These transfers were due to the consolidation of the fiscal, human resources and public information functions within the Director's Office and the consolidation of the computer technology functions within the Division of Operational Support.

The consolidation of these functions has resulted in a surplus within the Water System Operating Fund for the Department of Public Utilities and the Division of Operational Support and a shortfall of funds for the Division of Water. Due to the rising costs of fuel, chemicals and utilities, it has become necessary to transfer appropriations within the Water System Operating Fund in order to cover Division of Water expenditures for the remainder of the 2005 Fiscal Year.

FISCAL IMPACT: Sufficient appropriations are available for this transfer. SEE ATTACHED SPREADSHEET.

No increase in overall department funding is requested. Transfer of funds will occur within the existing appropriations of the divisions and the department. Funds will be transferred within the Water System Operating Fund from Object Level One appropriations of the Department of Public Utilities and the Division of Operational Support to the Division of Water; and transferred within the Object Level One appropriations of the Division of Water (See attached spreadsheet for funding information)
