RESOLUTION NO. R-1314-91: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF NORMAN TRANSFERRING $85,000 FROM THE BUILDING ROOF CONSTRUCTION PROJECT AND $9,000 FROM THE BUILDING LIGHTING CONSTRUCTION PROJECT TO BE USED FOR THE ANIMAL WELFARE CENTER RENOVATION PROJECT.
Body
BACKGROUND: As part of the City of Norman's efforts to improve the maintenance of existing city facilities funds were approved in FY13 for both roofing repairs and lighting upgrades at some of the city's facilities.
DISCUSSION: One of the facilities included in the FY13 list of facilities to receive improvements to the roof and the lighting was the Animal Welfare Center. During the design phases of the renovation and expansion project it was recommended to postpone the actual roofing repairs and lighting upgrades and to incorporate those improvements during the actual construction phases of the project. Those funds were not utilized and were held to be utilized in the construction activities by the general contractor who was awarded the bid for the renovation and expansion project.
After consulting with members of the Finance Department for accountability and auditing purposes, the recommended action is to transfer the funds designated for the roofing and lighting improvements from the facility maintenance accounts into the construction account for the Animal Welfare project.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that $85,000 be transferred from Building/Roofs, Construction (050-9540-419.61-01; Project EF1002) and $9,000 from Building/Lighting, Construction, (050-9540-419.61-01; Project EF1004) to the Animal Welfare Building Project, Construction. (050-9699-441.61-01; Project BG0246).
