Title
Authorizing the disappropriation of $87,500 from the General Fund Division of Parks, Recreation and Forestry seasonal and intern services budget; authorizing the appropriation of $300,000 for contractual services for park mowing operations; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
This Ordinance authorizes the reappropriation of $87,500 within the Division of Parks, Recreation and Forestry’s (Parks) General Fund budget. The Division currently uses seasonal employees through a job agency to complete park mowing operations. The job agency the city uses is no longer going to insure drivers. As a result, Parks is preparing to hire mowing contractors to complete operations this season. This Ordinance reallocates budget within Parks’ General Fund operating budget to cover this change from seasonal employees to contractual services. Additionally, this ordinance authorizes the appropriation of $212,500 from the general fund balance to provide additional funds for mowing operations this year. In total, this ordinance will authorize $300,000 for mowing operations.
