AGENDA ITEM DESCRIPTION
On November 1, 2016, the Mayor and City Council approved a contract with POLICY DEVELOPMENT GROUP, INC to provide state lobbying services to the City of Maricopa in an amount not to exceed $78,000. This contract was funded in FY 16-17 through a budget transfer from General Fund, Contingency to General Fund, City Manager, Professional and Occupational (10011115-53320). Budget transfers from Contingency are considered one-time budget transfers and are not included in department target amounts for the next fiscal year's operating budget, thus this contract was not included in the FY 17-18 Operating Budget adopted by Council. This transfer requires the approval of the Mayor and Council as it increases the budgetary capacity for the City Manager's office for FY 17-18.
City Manager Rose and Brenda Hasler, Financial Services Director, identified a position in Park Maintenance that has been vacant and is anticipated to remain vacant during FY 17-18 that could be used to fund this contract for FY 1-18.
Brenda Hasler, Financial Services Director will present this item.
