Explanation
BACKGROUND: Ordinance 3269-2023, passed December 11, 2023, authorized the expenditure of $647,330.00 from the Safety Voted Bond Fund 7701 for the purchase of alternative response vehicles for the Division of Fire. Said ordinance and subsequent purchase order should have been funded using available cash existing in the Income Tax Set Aside Subfund 1000-100099.
This legislation authorizes the City Auditor to correct the funding source of the purchases made via Ordinance 3269-2023, to correctly align expenditures with the appropriate funding sources. This correction will change the funding source used in said ordinance from Safety’s Voted Bond Fund 7701, to that of the Income Tax Set Aside (ITSA) Subfund 1000-100099, the correct source of funding, and allow a new purchase order to be established with appropriate funding. Upon passage of this ordinance, the Public Safety Director will cancel the existing purchase order to return cash to the original project to allow for the subsequent cash transfers and budget amendments to commence.
Bid Information: N/A
Emergency Designation: The Division of Fire requests emergency legislation so that the aforementioned corrections can commence immediately to allow for the prompt re-issuance of the purchase order authorized via Ordinance 3269-2023, and thus avoid potential supply chain delays.
FISCAL IMPACT: Unencumbered cash is available within the Income Tax Set Aside (ITSA) Subfund for this correction; funding that currently exists on the previously established purchase order will be returned to the Safety Bond Fund.
