Explanation
1. Background: This ordinance authorizes the City Attorney to acquire certain property rights and easements, and to expend monies in connection with the OSIS Augmentation and Relief Sewer (OARS) Phase 1 Project.

Fiscal Impact: This ordinance authorizes the transfer a total of $35,000.00 of funds from within the Sanitary Sewer General Obligation Fund, Fund 664, for the purpose of providing the necessary funding required for this expenditure, to provide sufficient budget authority, and to amend the 2011 Capital Improvement Budget.
