Fiscal Note
One of the amendments to the 2012 Executive Operating Budget provided for $50,000 of consulting services in Public Health to study contamination at Warner Park. Of this amount, $25,000 was to be provided by the Public Health levy (City only), with a matching amount of contributions or donations. This resolution amends the 2012 Adopted Operating Budget by eliminating the matching requirement, and moving the $25,000 of levy support from Public Health to the Engineering Division. This amendment would therefore be levy-neutral. No additional appropriation is required.

Title
Amending the 2012 Public Health and Engineering Operating Budget to appropriate $25,000 for a study to establish a baseline level of contamination for sediment, soil, vegetation and water at Warner Park and the Lagoons.
Body
WHEREAS, the 2012 Operating Budget appropriated $25,000 in the budget of Public Health Madison Dane County to manage the testing for contamination in and around Warner Park and the Lagoons, and,
WHEREAS, the budget item was subject to a match of $25,000 from sources obtained by the City's Committee on the Environment, and
WHEREAS, now the City's Committee on the Environment is unable to secure a full $25,000 from outside sources but may be able to secure sufficient funds necessary to produce a meaningful baseline assessment of the level of contamination in and around Warner Park and the Lagoons.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the 2012 Operating Budgets of Public Health and Engineering are amended to appropriate $25,000 for a study to establish a baseline level of contamination for sediment, soil, vegetation and water at Warner Park and the Lagoons.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the previously budgeted $25,000 be transferred from the Public Health Madison Dane County budget to the Engineering budget and that Engineering oversee and manage the baseline study with review by Public Health.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that there are no restrictions or requirements for obtaining matching funds or "in kind service" other than the requirement that the Committee on the Environment obtain funds in addition to the City's $25,000 such that a meaningful baseline study can be obtained.
