Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
The Division of Planning and Operations is engaged in a project for the rehabilitation of City Alleys. As part of the Alley Rehabilitation - Miscellaneous project, the Division of Planning and Operations Crews will perform work such as surface grading and leveling, drainage improvements and repaving.

The costs incurred for City Staff and equipment associated with these alley improvements will be tracked. The Street Construction Maintenance and Repair Fund will then be reimbursed from Capital Funds.

This legislation authorizes reimbursement to the Street Construction, Maintenance and Repair Fund, the division's operating fund, for capital improvement labor and equipment associated with this alley rehabilitation project.

2. FISCAL IMPACT
This project is budgeted within the 2011 Capital Improvement Budget. This expense can be accommodated by utilizing existing Bond Funds within the Streets and Highways G.O. Bonds Fund and Build America Bonds Fund, and by appropriating and transferring the remaining funds needed in the amount of $901,318.04 from the Special Income Tax Fund. This funding method is a temporary measure and this amount will be restored to the Special Income Tax Fund subsequent to the next note/bond sale for the Division of Design and Construction Capital Improvement Projects.

3. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION
Emergency legislation is requested in order to process reimbursements to the Street Construction Maintenance and Repair Fund as expenses occur for this work and promote proper accounting practices.
