A Resolution Approving Transfer of Funds and Payment of CAFR Online Implementation Fee
Summary
Finance is requesting the transfer of budget funds of $2,000 from 01-629-1015, IT Part-time Salaries, and $500 from 01-620-8080, Gen Gov Dues & Subscriptions, to 01-620-3500, Gen Gov Content Hosting to use CAFR Online to assist Finance personnel and Auditors with preparation of the City's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.

A payment of $2,500 is due now to begin implementation. The second $2,500 implementation installment and the $2,500 annual service fee (fixed for five years) is due 3/31/2016 and will be included in the FY16 budget.
