To the Honorable City Council: The Mayor respectfully requests that this Council approve the transfer of $35,000 from the Police Department Personal Services Salaries Account (0121051-511000) to the Police Department Animal Control Personal Services Salaries Account (0129251-511000) to use lag funds keep the Animal Control Personal Services Salaries Account budget out of deficit. The Animal Control Personal Services Salaries Account was used to offset a shortfall in the overtime account caused by unplanned overtime incurred by one of the two team members being on an extended leave of absence. Appropriate staff will be available to answer any questions you may have. Thank you for your consideration of this matter. Respectfully Submitted, Jake Wilson, Mayor
