Title

Agenda Vote
Description:
As one of the last tasks remaining in the reorganization of the Transportation Department, the Transportation Planning Division needs to be separated from the existing 4210 Cost Center and established as a separate Cost Center to provide better accountability and management oversight.
Currently, the 4210 Cost Center includes two distinct disciplines; Transportation Planning and Engineering and Design. In FY 2009, the Transportation Department was reorganized to include a new Planning Division. The two Divisions perform separate but complimentary functions. The current situation makes it difficult to accurately budget and manage the two functions.
Therefore, staff is recommending a new Cost Center, 4213, be created to allow for better budgeting and tracking of expenses of the Transportation Planning Division.
Comments:
Budget Amendment BA 4210-1-04-10 would move approximately $250,700 from the 4210 Cost Center to the new 4213 Cost Center for salaries and other expenses.
