FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: JANUARY 15, 2019
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF AN ORDINANCE FOR THE TRANSFER OF FUNDS
FROM THE CRIME CONTROL DISTRICT FUND TO THE CAPITAL
EQUIPMENT FUND
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider an ordinance authorizing the transfer of funds
from the Crime Control District fund for leases and rentals to the Capital
Equipment Fund for a vehicle acquisition.
FUNDING SOURCE: Upon approval of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds in an
estimated amount of $20,000 will be available in the Capital Equipment
Fund 325-48910-209-003.
BACKGROUND: Funding is currently available in the Crime Control District fund for vehicle
leases (117-44573-209-003). The vehicle is currently being leased and is
used for various covert operations throughout the fiscal year.
The department has determined that the outright purchase of a vehicle for
such purpose, rather than a lease, will provide the required needs of the
operation and at a lower, long term cost to the City.
Staff recommends approval.
