<br /> 77-258 - "Submission of a report from the City Manager advising the City Council of a
<br />transfer of $78,000 from the Emergency Contingency Account to the City Garage Fund and the
<br />Regional Group Home System.
<br />
<br /> This report is forwarded in accordance with the City Code requiring the~3Cii~y Manager
<br />.~to advise Council of any transfer from the ~mergency Contingency Account at the next regularly
<br />scheduled Council meeting. Since $65,000 of this tranfer is between funds, a motion concur-
<br />in§ in this transfer is requested."
<br />
<br /> Report submitted:
<br />
<br /> "The City Code requires in Sec. ll-6(b) that ~ransfers from the emergency contingency
<br /> account be reported to the City Council at its next regular meeting. As of this date, I have
<br /> transferred $78,000 from the emergency contingency fund, as fOllows: $63,000 to the City
<br /> Garage Fund for the fleet liability insurance policey; and $15~000 to the Regional Group Home
<br /> Commission.
<br />
<br /> TAe $15,000 transfer to the Regional Group Home Commission is for advanced funding of the
<br />Commission, and was made pursuant to the resolution adopted~by the City Council at its last
<br />meeting.
<br />
<br /> The $65,000 for auto liability insurance is necessary as a result of a fifty percent increase
<br /> premium. As in other areas of liability coverage, the premium has increase~ at alarming rates~
<br /> and an increase of this magnitude was not anticipated in the ~976-77 budget~ A review of the
<br /> causes for the premium increase is continuing to determine what cost-reducing actions might be
<br /> taken.
<br />
<br /> Subsequent to the above transfers, a balance of $65,500 remains in the emergency contin-
<br />gency account, out of the original 1976-77 appropriation of $$20,000."
<br />
<br /> Motion of Mr. Barmes and seconded by Mr. Early, that authorization be granted to transfer

<br />parking lot under the Olde Towne Conservation Plan between Glasgow and North Streets contigu-
<br />ous to Court,Street. After several months of effort, all of the legal owners have still not
<br />been determined. Therefore in order not to further delay this project, we are seeking to con-
<br />demn the property. The City Manager recommends adopt&on."
