Amendment 40
DPW - This amendment will add $1,000,000 to DPW - Infrastructure Services to offset the reduction in special assessment revenue for trafficcalming installations. The amendment is funded by reallocating $1,000,000 of ARPA funds allocated to DPW-Infrastructure Services for street lighting improvements and repairs. The amendment assumes using ARPA funds to fund additional trafficcalming expenses in 2023. This will require separate legislation to be adopted by the Common Council allocating ARPA funds for that specific purpose. If separate legislation is not adopted to allocate ARPA funds for these expenses, the additional expenses will be eliminated in 2023.
