Explanation
Background:
This ordinance authorizes a supplemental appropriation of $223,157 from unallocated balance of the City Print & Mail Services Fund and a transfer of $28,589 within the City Print & Mail Services Fund. This additional appropriation and transfer will allow the City Mail Room to purchase sufficient postage to continue operating until passage of the 2009 budget. This supplemental appropriation is necessary due to insufficient funds being transferred when mailroom functions were transferred from the Department of Technology to the Finance and Management Department in March, 2008. Due to savings in fuel prices, the necessary transfer of cash will be accomplished through the reduction of fuel encumbrances and subsequent reductions in the Refuse Division's December estimated General Fund fuel billing. Cash for the first quarter funding in Technology are accounted for in the year-end financial projection of the Information Services Fund.
Fiscal Impact: The increase in Mail Room appropriation is in accordance with the Third Quarter Financial Review.
Emergency action is requested to ensure an uninterrupted supply of postage.
