International Center, the Business Assistance Center and other similar projects and initiatives that were
overseen separately by the City Manager's Office

FY2001-2002 budget totaled $1,419,364 Expenditures totaling $440,058 have been incurred by these
divisions and offices against the City Manager's Office budget since the beginning of the fiscal year As
allowed by the City Charter, the unencumbered appropriations and unexpended funds totaling
$979,306 will be transferred to the new department, creating a departmental budget for FY2001-2002
of $1,419,364

its personnel by one position, a Community Development Manager Funding in the amount of $75,000
