Title

Substitute resolution authorizing the Department of Public Works to expend funding for equipment that was set aside as part of the 2001 Budget Adjustment Plan to fund unanticipated expenses incurred in 2001.

Analysis

This resolution amends Common Council File 00659, a resolution authorizing year 2001 budget reductions, to authorize the Department of Public Works to transfer and expend equipment funds for unanticipated expenses related to the December 2000 snowfall and higher than anticipated utility costs.

Body

Whereas, On June 19, 2001, the Common Council adopted File Number 001659, a resolution authorizing 2001 budget year departmental reductions, the nonexpenditure of funds authorized by the 2001 budget; and

Whereas, File Number 001659 authorized certain 2001 budget reductions specified in an Attachment A to the file dated June 14, 2001, which included equipment reductions in the Department of Public Works; and

Whereas, In December 2000, 50 inches of snow fell in the City of Milwaukee, which caused the city to incur excessive costs for snow plowing operations; and

Whereas, The City of Milwaukee undertook a snow clearing operation in January 2001 at a cost of approximately $800,000; and

Whereas, In 2001, natural gas prices experienced a low per unit volume of $11.81 per unit volume, compared to $4.29 low per unit volume in 2000; and

Whereas, This cost increase has caused a shortfall of approximately $300,000 in 2001; and

Whereas, The two aforementioned circumstances were unbudgeted in 2001 and caused a shortfall of approximately $1,100,000 in the Department of Public Works-Buildings and Fleet Division; now, therefore, be it

Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that Common Council File Number 001659 is amended to authorize the Department of Public Works to transfer and expend equipment funding reduced in the Attachment A dated June 14, 2001 for unanticipated expenses incurred in 2001; and

Further Resolved, That the City Comptroller transfer $1,043,910 from DPW-Buildings and Fleet's equipment account (#0001-5450-R999-006800) to DPW-Buildings and Fleet's operating expenditures account (#0001 -5450-R999-006300) and transfer $25,800 from DPW-Forestry Division's equipment account (#0001-5810-R999-006800) to DPW-Buildings and Fleet's operating expenditures account (#0001-5450-R999-006300).
