Requesting approval to pay prior year invoices totaling $3,071.16 using available funds in the SomerViva Office of Immigrant Affairs Professional & Technical Services account for interpretation services.

To the Honorable City Council: The Mayor respectfully requests that this Council approve the use of funds in the SomerViva Office of Immigrant Affairs 158 Account 0115852-530000 to pay two FY24 invoices totaling $3,071.16 to Cross Cultural Communication Systems (total amount due $125.06) for interpretation in Tamil for a resident and Rosetta Languages (total amount due is $2,946.10 after applying $2,726.90 in FY24 carryover funds set aside for this purpose) for on-demand interpretation services provided in May 2024. The invoices were not paid within the fiscal year because SomerViva under-projected interpretation expenditures. The invoices are attached. Appropriate staff will be available to answer any questions you may have. Thank you for your consideration of this matter. Respectfully Submitted, Katjana Ballantyne, Mayor
