Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This legislation establishes a $100,000.00 Urban Infrastructure Recovery Fund (UIRF) right-of-way acquisition contingency fund and authorizes the City Attorney to expend said funds to acquire small parcels of additional right-of-way for miscellaneous UIRF projects and for other UIRF right-of-way expenses when requested to do so by the Department of Public Service.
