SUBJECT:
Authorize Transfer of Funds in the Amount of$85,000.00 from the Capital Projects Reserve Fund to the
Specially Funded Capital Projects Fund for the Purpose of Remodeling the Third Floor City Hall Cafeteria
into Office Space and Adopt Appropriation Ordinances (COUNCIL DISTRICT 9)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Capital Projects Reserve Fund in the amount of$85,000.00;
2. Authorize the transfer in the amount of$85,000.00 from the Capital Projects Reserve Fund to the
Specially Funded Capital Projects Fund; and
3. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Specially Funded Capital Projects Fund in the amount of$85,000.00.
DISCUSSION:
A portion of the third floor of City Hall, where the City Hall cafeteria previously operated, has been vacant
and underutilized since the closure of the cafeteria. Plans have been prepared by in-house staff to
renovate a portion of the former cafeteria into office space for Financial Management Services staff. The
department does not currently have sufficient space for all employees and makeshift workspaces have
been created for some new hires. The additional office space will locate functional teams in proximity to
each other supporting effective management and operations and will relieve some of the overcrowding in
the Zipper Building.
The requested funding will provide for the construction of two new offices and installation of eleven new
cubicles, in addition to storage space and equipment. The accounts payable and payroll staff will relocate
into the space upon completion, anticipated in January 2015. The northern portion of the space will
remain as a break room for staff with tables, vending machines, a microwave and an ice machine.
FISCAL INFORMATION /CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations
and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinances, funds will be available in the current capital
budget, as appropriated, of the Specially Funded Capital Projects Fund.
