Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
The Department of Public Service employs personnel that are engaged in traffic sign and signal installation, permanent pavement marking, and roadway improvement design and construction expenses. Project costs incurred by the operating fund are salaries, overhead, overtime, materials and other direct costs. These personnel and project expenses are budgeted within and paid from the division's operating fund, the Street Construction, Maintenance and Repair Fund. These costs can be capitalized. Doing so is consistent with earlier efforts by the Division to reimburse its operating fund when the operating fund incurred expenses more appropriate to capital improvement funding.

This ordinance authorizes the expenditure of $1,300,000.00 or so much thereof as may be necessary for this purpose.

2. FISCAL IMPACT
Fiscal Impact: This expenditure is budgeted and available within the Division of Planning and Operation's Fund 746, the Gov'l Build America Bonds (B.A.B.s) Fund. The 2009 revenue estimate for the Street Construction, Maintenance and Repair Fund reflects and assumes this revenue.

3. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION
Emergency action is requested to allow the reimbursement of these operating expenses at the earliest possible time to make the Street Construction Maintenance Repair Fund whole.
