Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the transfer of $75,000 from the Division of Neighborhood Development within the General Fund, and the subsequent transfer to the Public Safety Initiatives Fund in anticipation of plans to develop and implement a Weinland Park Safety Strategy. This transfer is necessary because the original appropriation was made to the Department of Development. After further consideration it was determined that the most appropriate department to oversee safety efforts will likely be the Department of Public Safety. As plans are developed, an appropriation will be made to that agency.
