  Title:           Appropriation to Transfer Funds from the Council Strategic
                   Initiatives Account to the Office of Equity and Inclusion -
                   $197,181 (1 of 2 readings)


Background
In 2019, City Council appropriated a sum of funding in response to recommendations
made by the City Manager focusing on Organizational Equity. While this funding was
appropriated, Council to this point has not elected to designate the use of such funds to
any department or the City Manager’s Office.

Discussion
In December of 2019, City Council designated the sum of $197,181.00 from its Council
Strategic Initiatives account for the purpose of implementing work focused on
organizational equity. These funds were properly designated, but they have not been
appropriated for the City Manager’s use.

Alignment with City Council's Vision and Strategic Plan
Yes

Community Engagement
N/A

Budgetary Impact
There is no impact to the General Fund as these funds were previously appropriated to
the Council Strategic Initiative Fund. The existing funds allocated to the Council
Strategic Initiative Fund are being requested as a transfer to the Office of Equity and
Inclusion.
Recommendation
Approval.
Suggested Motion: I move the RESOLUTION Appropriating the Amount of
$197,181 from the Council Strategic Initiatives Fund to the City Office of Equity
and Inclusion

Alternatives
Should the Council not allocate these funds to the Office of Equity and Inclusion, the
funds will remain earmarked for equity work within the Council Strategic Initiative Fund.
