Explanation

BACKGROUND:

This ordinance transfers $200,000 within the Development Department, General Fund to place funds in the correct object level for Code Enforcement positions added in the 2006 Budget. In the 2006 budget amendments, $200,000 was added for the hiring of 3 positions for Code Enforcement, however, these funds were placed in the wrong object level. This legislation will authorize the transfer of $200,000 from Object Level One 03 to Object Level One 01.

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:

This ordinance will authorize the transfer of $200,000 from Object Level One 03 to Object Level One 01.
