Fiscal Impact: This ordinance authorizes an expenditure of $9,608.00 from the Capital Fund with K.N.S. Services, Inc. to provide security camera upgrades for the Morse Road CNG fueling station under the purview of the Fleet Management Division. The Fleet Management Division budgeted $6,950,129 for capital funded projects. In 2020 $6,080,578 was expended for capital funded projects.
