ENDORSER(S): Mayor Jim Donchess
COMMITTEE
ASSIGNMENT:
FISCAL NOTE: Transfer of $998,132 from the Police Department Operating
Budget to the GOFERR grant. See analysis below.
ANALYSIS
This resolution authorizes the transfer of $998,132 from the Police Department’s General Fund
Operating Budget into the Governor’s Office for Emergency Relief and Recovery (GOFERR)
Grant. Due to strict timelines associated with submitting expenses to GOFERR for
reimbursement and that GOFERR would only reimburse “paid” expenses, Public Safety
budgeted payroll paid was identified as reimbursable, thus the Police Payroll was submitted to
ensure that the City received the full grant award in the amount of $2,092,948.
This transfer is strictly a mechanism to move the reimbursed amount of $998,132 into the
GOFERR grant as a funding source to pay for the COVID-19 remaining costs that were
encumbered at the time of the City’s final rembursement request.
Charter Sec. 53 permits the Board of Aldermen to transfer any unencumbered appropriation
balance or any portion from one department, fund or agency to another.
NRO 5-130, H provides that “when proposed legislation to transfer or re-appropriate a particular
appropriation or purpose thereof has had its first reading, such funds shall not be expended or
transferred while the legislation is pending”.
