Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
The Division of Planning and Operations is responsible for traffic control throughout the City to promote vehicular safety and expedite traffic flow.

This ordinance authorizes the expenditure of monies for these longitudinal channelizers per the terms and conditions of this existing universal term contract. The total cost of the commodities needed is $50,000.00.
