Explanation
This ordinance authorizes the expenditure of $50 from the General Fund for the purposes of establishing Universal Term Contracts during the first month of 2015. The purpose of this appropriation is to allow the Purchasing Division to fund Universal Term Contracts in the period between the beginning of 2015 and passage of this ordinance and passage of the appropriation ordinance. In order to establish Universal Term Contracts, the Purchasing Office needs an Auditor's Certificate to reserve $50. This ordinance will forestall delays of up to a month in contracting for important services, thereby allowing City Divisions to begin using these contracts immediately upon budget passage.
Fiscal Impact: The General Fund expenditure authorization is $50. It is not the intention of this appropriation to increase overall spending in 2014.
Emergency action is requested to ensure Universal Term Contracts are not delayed and ready for City use upon passage of the budget.
