The Health Department conducted projects during 2004 and would like to conduct additional projects during 2005, which would cause it to exceed its budget in that area. They have asked that the City transfer $50,000 in addition to the current 2005 budget of $90,000, for use in these projects. FINANCIAL IMPACT The $50,000 increase in the payment to the Health Department will come from fees already collected in the Solid Waste Users Fee Fund.
