Official text

To the Honorable City Council: The Mayor respectfully requests that this Council appropriate $170,000 from the Unreserved Fund Balance ("Free Cash") to the Capital Stabilization Fund for the purpose of additional money for the site preparation, construction, and furnishing of a safe consumption site, which will now be known as the Overdose Prevention Center. The original appropriation of $827,000 as contained in Council Order 23-0325, needs to be supplemented as the decision has been made to purchase a modular unit as opposed to renting. Appropriate staff will be available to address any questions you may have. Thank you for your consideration of this item. Respectfully Submitted, Katjana Ballantyne, Mayor
