Explanation

Background:

This ordinance authorizes the Finance and Management Department, Facilities Management Division, to make various expenditures for labor, materials, and equipment in conjunction with various facilities improvements that are unplanned but will be necessary. Work may include any type of renovation of City-owned facilities, such as electrical, HVAC, and plumbing. All work will be based on three estimates obtained from qualified contractors and will not exceed $20,000.00 per job. Funding for these expenditures is from the Facilities Management Capital Improvement Fund.

Emergency action is requested to allow these projects to proceed in a timely manner and 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. Emergency action is also requested to allow the necessary funding to be available for needed expenditures.
