his Ordinance authorizes the
transfer of appropriations froCi Gene d to Services Fund.
The NFRT&AQPC contribution has already been appropriated in the 2000 budget, and does not
need to be appropriated again,which is why this appropriation is for$197,500 instead of$247,500.
The contributions from all the other entities are being appropriated as unanticipated revenue. This
action is required since the NRFT&AQPC is administering the project. The NFRT&AQPC uses the
City's accounting system for its financial transactions under a contractual agreement between the
NFRT&AQPC and the City.
