City Council Regular Meeting

Meeting Date:

04/14/2020

BACKGROUND

With Ordinance 20-T-11 staff is proposing to amend the budget to transfer funds from the Child Safety Fund budget to the Street Crossing Improvement Budget. While this budget adjustment is not asking to raise the overall City Budget, it will transfer amounts between the Child Safety Fund and the Street Crossing Improvements and Ordinance 11-M-28 states the City Manager may not move budgets between departments or funds without council authorization.

GOAL

To raise Schertz Flashing School Zone Lights to a higher standard where staff can diagnose problems from the office or phones. In addition, employees will not have to go to the field to run reports, such as change times reports.

COMMUNITY BENEFIT

This will benefit the city and community by minimizing down times and thus increasing safety, reduce costs, and increase personnel efficiencies.

SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION

Approval is recommended to allow budget adjustment of $60,000.00 from Child Safety Fund to the Street Crossing Improvements.

FISCAL IMPACT

There will be no fiscal impact to the 2019-2020 budget.

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends approval of Ordinance 20-T-11 on the First reading.
