Analysis

This ordinance implements recommendations included in the city comptroller's audit of the Canal Street reconstruction project. The ordinance amends the code to require the department administering a grant to request additional authorization from the budget and management division in accordance with s. 18-10-6 of the charter if expenditures charged to a major street and bridge improvement grant exceed the amount authorized for city share by 10% of the total cost or $5,000, whichever is greater, but not to exceed $150,000.

This ordinance also requires that if an increase in a major street and bridge improvement grant’s cost is within the 10% or maximum $150,000 limit, a transfer of funds request be sent to the comptroller’s office and if an increase in a major street and bridge improvement grant’s cost is greater than the 10% or maximum $150,000 limit, a shortfall resolution shall be submitted to the common council to authorize the increase in the project’s cost.
