Explanation

This Ordinance authorizes the appropriation of $10,000 in the Emergency Human Services Fund to the Health Department for the transfer of the appropriated monies to the Health Special Revenue Fund, Fund No. 250, and authorizes a supplemental appropriation of $10,000 in
Fund No. 250 and the transfer of $10,000 from the Health Special Revenue Fund to the General Fund to reimburse the Community Relations Commission for translation and interpretation services provided at Mann's Mobile Home Estates, located at 755 Stelzer Road.

This manufactured home park has 333 lots of which about 290 are occupied with a manufactured home. The park was inspected by the Health Department in 2006 and numerous serious violations were identified. The operator was issued orders in April and again in October of 2006. Because of un-permitted construction within the manufactured home park, the Health Department obtained the assistance of the City's Development Department. This resulted in orders being issued by the Development Department against both the operator of the park and the tenants. In concert with threatened legal action by the Health Department, it was expected to result in families losing their housing. Because a high percentage of the residents in this manufactured home park are Latino and do not speak English, translation services were requested from the City's Community Relations Commission for needed public meetings, outreach, and translation of orders.

This ordinance 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.

FISCAL IMPACT: Funding is available within the Emergency Human Services Fund to cover these unplanned expenses for translation services.
