Title

Substitute resolution transferring $160,000 from the 2006 Common Council Contingent Fund to the Unemployment Compensation Special Purpose Account; and reserving an additional $160,000 within the 2006 Common Council Contingent Fund for the purposes of further augmenting the Unemployment Compensation Special Purpose Account.

Analysis

This resolution transfers $160,000 from the 2006 Common Council Contingent Fund to the Department of Employee Relations - Unemployment Compensation Special Purpose Account to cover a projected shortfall created by higher-than-anticipated unemployment compensation claims expense; and reserves an additional $160,000 within the 2006 Common Council Contingent Fund for the purposes of further augmenting the Unemployment Compensation Special Purpose Account.

Body

Whereas, The Department of Employee Relations - Unemployment Compensation Special Purpose Account was funded in 2006 at $780,000; and

Whereas, $751,085 of the $780,000 budget has already been expended; and

Whereas, The Department of Employee Relations and the Budget Office agree that the projected expenditures in 2006 for Unemployment Compensation will be at least $933,532; and

Whereas, Considerable uncertainty still exists regarding the ultimate level of unemployment compensation costs for 2006; and

Whereas, These expenditures are non-discretionary; now, therefore, be it

Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that an amount not to exceed $160,000 be transferred from the 2006 Common Council Contingent Fund (0001-9990-001-C001-006300-2006) to the Unemployment Compensation Special Purpose Account (006100-0001-1650-0001-S172-2006); and, be it

Further Resolved, That an additional $160,000 be reserved within the 2006 Common Council Contingent Fund for the purposes of further augmenting the Unemployment Compensation Special Purpose Account; and, be it

Further Resolved, That the appropriate City officials are authorized and directed to take whatever steps are necessary to fulfill the intent of this resolution.
