Explanation

This legislation authorizes the appropriation of $69,000 to correct an oversight made during the preparation of the 2009 employee benefits fund budget. During that process, a decision was made to shift some labor relations related personnel and services from the Department of Human Resources general fund budget to the employee benefits fund budget. While the general fund appropriation was reduced to reflect this change, the funds were unintentionally not inserted into the employee benefits fund. This legislation will correct that oversight.

This legislation is submitted as an emergency so as to allow the financial transaction to be posted in the City's accounting system as soon as possible. Up to date financial posting promotes accurate accounting and financial management.
