Title
Resolution appropriating $1,900,000 from the 2013 Special Purpose Account Reimbursable Services Advance Fund to the Department of Administration to provide additional funding for billing departments for communication and network services.
Analysis
The 2013 Budget transferred several communications and network infrastructure services from the Department of Public Works to the Department of Administration - Information Technology Management Division (DOA-ITMD). Common Council File Number 121182, the annual resolution authorizing reimbursable expenditure authority for departments for 2013, did not reflect DOA-ITMD billing for these reimbursable services. Hence, DOA-ITMD does not have sufficient reimbursable expenditure authority in 2013 to support these billings. This resolution appropriates $1,900,000 from the 2013 Reimbursable Services Advance Fund to the Department of Administration to provide additional funding for billing departments for communication and network services.
Body
Whereas, In the 2013 Budget, several communications and network infrastructure services were transferred from DPW to the Department of Administration - Information Technology Management Division (DOA-ITMD); and
Whereas, At the time the 2013 Budget was adopted, it was not determined if DPW would continue the reimbursable billings to departments for these services in 2013 or if DOA-ITMD would assume these billings; and
Whereas, In 2013, DOA-ITMD did assume these reimbursable billings; and
Whereas, Common Council File Number 121182, the annual resolution authorizing reimbursable expenditure authority for departments in 2013, did not reflect DOA-ITMD billing for these reimbursable expenses; and
Whereas, DOA-ITMD does not have sufficient reimbursable expenditure authority in 2013 to support these billings; and
Whereas, The 2013 Budget includes $50 million in the Reimbursable Services Advance Fund Special Purpose Account (SPA) that provides annual reimbursable expenditure authority departments can use for reimbursable billings, including billings between departments; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that $1,900,000 is appropriated from the 2013 Reimbursable Services Advance Fund to the Department of Administration to provide additional funding for billing departments for communication and network services; and, be it
Further Resolved, That this appropriation is in addition to the $1,775,000, appropriated to the Department of Administration by Common Council File Number 121182; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Department of Administration will be reimbursed by various departments and agencies for communication and network services; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the City Comptroller is directed to establish the necessary accounts and accounting procedures to carry out the intent of this resolution; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the procedures for handling and advancing funds in anticipation of reimbursable revenue be in accordance with those set forth in Common Council File Number 80-1513.
