ORDINANCE APPROPRIATING SPECIFIED AMOUNTS FROM DESIGNATED UNAPPROPRIATED FUND BALANCES TO SPECIFIED APPROPRIATIONS, CANCELING CERTAIN APPROPRIATIONS, AND TRANSFERRING SPECIFIED AMOUNTS FROM DESIGNATED APPROPRIATIONS TO OTHER SPECIFIED APPROPRIATIONS Councilwoman Buchan said, "The attachment to the staff report details many of the items Director Ponty spoke of, and one of them is the request for $21,250 to fund what is termed as the 'partial purchase of the Gunshot Locator System.' I am not prepared to do that yet. I understand this is a technical matter to have that money allocated, but I am not ready to do it until I see some sort of agreement, and understand what exactly it is I am being asked to purchase. I will be voting no on this Ordinance." REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTE BOOK NO. 55 JUNE 2,1997 MINUTES Page No. 366 PAGE 10
