Explanation
Background: Ordinance No. 1814-2007, passed November 19, 2007, authorized the City Attorney to acquire certain property rights, and to expend monies in connection with the Skyline Drive Sanitary Sewer Assessment Project. The preliminary amount of funding originally made available for this project was done so with the understanding that additional monies may be needed at a later date. It is now necessary to authorize the City Attorney to acquire additional fee simple title and lesser interests, contract for any additional necessary professional services, and to expend additional money for payment of acquisition costs in connection with the Skyline Drive Sanitary Sewer Assessment Project.
Fiscal Impact: This ordinance authorizes the transfer of funds from within the Sanitary Sewer Revenue Bonds Fund for the purpose of providing the necessary funding required for this expenditure. There will also be an amendment to the 2008 Capital Improvements Budget to provide sufficient budget authority. This legislation will authorize the expenditure of $285,000.00 from within the Sanitary Sewer Revenue Bonds Fund.
Emergency Justification: Emergency action is requested to allow acquisition activities to begin as soon as possible thereby allowing for commencement of construction of this project to stay within the established time line.
