RESOLUTION AMENDING THE 1976 GENERAL FUND BUDGET
WHEREAS, the City Council appropriated an amount of $4,553 in the 1976
General Fund Budget for the purpose of purchasing a brush chipper for the Park
Maintenance Division; and
WHEREAS, because of a clerical error, the amount of $4,553 was erroneously
substituted for an original divisional request for $6,000 to purchase said equipment;
and
WHEREAS, on March 17, 1976, the City opened bids on said equipment
and the low bid was $5,700; and
WHEREAS, Section 7.11 of the City Charter does provide the City Council
with full authority to make permanent transfers between all funds which may be
created, provided that such transfers are not inconsistent with the provisions of
relevant covenents, the provisions of the City Charter, or State Statute; and
WHEREAS, funds are available in the FEDERAL REVENUE SHARING FUND in
the amount of at least $1,147 to be transferred for GENERAL FUND use; and
WHEREAS, Section 7.08 of the City Charter does provide for the increase
of a budget appropriation by the City Council if the actual receipts exceed the
estimates:
BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Brooklyn
Center, Minnesota, that the Park Maintenance (Dept. #69) Mobile Equipment
Account #4553) appropriation be increased by $1,147 to provide the balance
necessary for the purchase of one brush chipper; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the increased appropriation shall be financed
by federal revenue sharing funds and that funds in the FEDERAL REVENUE SHARING
FUND shall be encumbered in the amount of $1,147; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the actual transfer of funds will be made
from the FEDERAL REVENUE SHARING FUND to the GENERAL FUND on a reimburse-
ment basis at such time, and by Council resolution when the GENERAL FUND has
