and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION NO. 79 -187
RESOLUTION AMENDING THE 1979 GENERAL FUND BUDGET TO
PROVIDE FUNDS FOR THE PURCHASE OF MICROFILMING EQUIPMENT
WHEREAS, the City Council initially appropriated $10,000 in the
1976 General Fund Budget for the purpose of purchasing microfilming equip-
ment necessary to implement the City government's records microfilming
program; and
WHEREAS, because of changes which were taking place in the art
of microfilming, the City delayed its microfilming program and subsequently
transferred the microfilming appropriation to the 1977 and 1978 General
Fund Budgets; and
WHEREAS, at the end of 1978 a balance of $9,353 of the original
$10,000 appropriation was still unexpended and was therefore closed into
unappropriated surplus; and
WHEREAS, Section 7.08 of the City Charter authorizes the City
Council to appropriate funds from unappropriated surplus in an amount equal
to a previous appropriation if not in fact expended or encumbered for that
purpose in the previous fiscal year; and
WHEREAS, because of the recent availability of LOGIS computer output
microfilm (COM), which added a new dimension to the microfilming planning,
the City is now ready to resume its microfilm program.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Brooklyn Center to amend the 1979 General Fund Budget to increase the
Unallocated Departmental Expense (Activity No. 80) Office Furnishings and
Equipment Appropriation (Object No. 4551) by $9,353 to provide for the balance
of microfilm equipment to be purchased.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that said appropriation be funded from unappro-
priated surplus.
