RESOLUTION NO. 75 -241
RESOLUTION AMENDING THE 1975 GENERAL FUND BUDGET
WHEREAS, Section 7.08 of the City Charter of the City of Brooklyn Center
does provide for the increase of a budget appropriation by the City Council from
accumulated 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, the City Council, when it adopted the 1974 General Fund Budget,
approved an appropriation in the amount of $7,500 for the acquisition of six Handi
Talkies in the Department of Civil Defense budget; and
WHEREAS, the Department did not acquire the Handi Talkies, because,
after the adoption of the 1974 budget, the Department was advised that Hennepin
County had secured a Federal grant to acquire similar equipment and planned to
lease that equipment to local Hennepin County enforcement agencies; and
WHEREAS, the unexpended $7,500 appropriation was transferred to the
General Fund unappropriated surplus at the end of fiscal year 1974; and
WHEREAS, the City has now completed the lease arrangement with Hennepin
County for the rental of the equipment by the Police Department and that the annual
lease payment is now due and payable; and
WHEREAS, it is necessary to supplement the leased equipment with certain
auxillary equipment to be purchased by the City to make the system fully effective;
BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Brooklyn
Center to amend the 1975 General Fund Budget to increase the Police Department
(Dept. #31) Radio Units Communication Appropriation (Object #4523) by $625 to
provide the annual lease cost; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED to increase the Police Department (Dept. #31)
Other Equipment Capital Outlay Appropriation (Object #4552) by $1,768 to purchase
the following auxillary equipment;
6 Vehicular Chargers $200 each $1,200
