Fiscal Note
The proposed resolution authorizes the transfer for $14,130 from the Contingent Reserve direct appropriation to the Planning Division’s budget to support two art projects that received funding from the Madison Community Foundation (MCF) and started in 2018. The $14,130 is the remaining revenue and expense authority that was unencumbered at the close of fiscal year 2018, resulting in the revenue and expense authority not carrying forward into 2019 in order to complete the art projects. Transferring budget authority from the budgeted Contingent Reserve, rather than General Fund balance, will not affect the limits under Expenditure Restraint Program. If adopted, the remaining balance of the Contingent Reserve will be $1,495,620.
