TITLE
Recommendation to appropriate funding from Asset Forfeiture proceeds for repair of the Police Department's West Division Substation air conditioning system; and increase appropriations by $46,583 in the General Fund (GP) in the Police Department (PD). (District 1)
DISCUSSION
The air conditioning system at the Police Department's West Division Substation required extensive upgrading of its energy management software and reprogramming of the Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning system (HVAC). To address this need, the Public Works Department has allocated $50,000 of American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) Energy Efficiency grant funding for Phase I of the project, and the Chief of Police has authorized the use of $46,583 from Asset Forfeiture proceeds for Phase II. The work was completed in late July 2012.
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Kendra Carney and Budget Officer Victoria Bell on September 6, 2012.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
City Council action is requested on September 18, 2012 to enable the timely payment of project invoices before September 30, 2012.
FISCAL IMPACT
The requested appropriation increase of $46,583 will be fully offset by Asset Forfeiture proceeds to be budgeted in the General Fund (GP) in the Police Department (PD).
SUGGESTED ACTION
Approve recommendation.
Respectfully Submitted,
JIM McDONNELL
CHIEF OF POLICE
APPROVED:
PATRICK H. WEST
CITY MANAGER
