Analysis
This resolution appropriates $22,439,000 from the General Fund Reserve Fund (4% Fund) to 16 departments for various purchases of equipment and building repairs. Section 6.14 of the Metropolitan Charter requires that 4% of all the general fund revenue of the General Services District be set aside each year solely for the purchase of equipment and building repairs.
Ordinance No. O86-1534 and Section 5.04.015.F of the Metro Code require that allocations from the 4% Fund each be supported by information sheets, which are attached to the resolution. The information sheets detail the cost of the equipment or building repairs, whether the cost is related to a replacement, the age of the equipment being replaced, and the estimated life of the equipment. The resolution further provides that “the Director of Finance may schedule acquisitions authorized herein to ensure an appropriate balance in the Fund.”
