AUTHORIZING THE TRANSFER OF PREVIOUSLY APPROPRIATED FUNDS IN THE
STORM DRAINAGE FUND FROM INDIVIDUAL STORMWATER BASIN CAPITAL
PROJECTS, INCLUDING ALL SUB-PROJECTS AND ENCUMBRANCES; INTO THE,
STORMWATER BASIN IMPROVEMENT CAPITAL PROJECT
WHEREAS, this Ordinance provides for the consolidation of existing appropriations to
improve transparency and flexibility of using the existing stormwater basin improvement
appropriations to fund the highest priority projects, consistent with the objectives stated by City
Council in Ordinance No. 168, 1998, for uniform and Citywide operation, maintenance, and
improvements to the Stormwater system; and
WHEREAS, since the adoption of the 2013-2014 Budget, new appropriations are made to
the Citywide Stormwater Basin Improvements Project and not to individual basins; and
WHEREAS, by adoption of Ordinance No. 074, 2015, existing appropriations were
consolidated into the Citywide Stormwater Basin Improvement Project to allow staff to fund
larger capital projects benefiting the City as a whole, as well as the specific basin for which the
funds were created; and
WHEREAS, this Ordinance is to correct a process issue with the language of previously
approved Ordinance No. 074, 2015, which transferred only the unallocated main Capital Project
funds of the Stormwater Enterprise but inadvertently failed to include funds for associated
existing sub-projects; and
WHEREAS, the Ordinance does not appropriate any new funding; and
WHEREAS, Article V, Section 10, of the City Charter authorizes the City Council to
transfer by ordinance any unexpended and unencumbered appropriated amount or portion thereof
from one fund (project) to another fund (project), provided that the purpose for which the
transferred funds are to be expended remains unchanged, the purpose for which the funds were
initially appropriated no longer exists, or the proposed transfer is from a fund or capital project
account in which the amount appropriated exceeds the amount needed to accomplish the purpose
specified in the appropriation ordinance; and
WHEREAS, the City Manager has recommended the transfer set forth below and the'City
Council finds that such transfer meets the requirements of Article V, Section 10 of the City
Charter because the purpose for which the transferred funds are to be expended remains
unchanged.
