57. TRANSFER OF EXPENDITURE AUTHORITY FOR CONTINGENCY SPACE PLANNING Pursuant to A.R.S. §42-17106(b), approve the transfer of expenditure authority in the amount of $653,452 from FY 2009-10 Non-Departmental (470) General Fund (100) Non-Recurring/Non-Project (0001) Unreserved Contingency (4711) to FY 2009-10 Public Works Facilities Management Division (910) General Fund (100) Non-Recurring/Non-Project (0001). This action approves one-time contingency funds for Public Works Facilities Management to complete a countywide space planning study. In an effort to maximize County owned space, a space utilization study of all County properties is being requested so that we are maximizing the use of our current facilities and lessen the need for leased space. This request will fund a space utilization study based on the latest changes in County staffing levels and to identify future vacant areas. The Public Works Facilities Management Division will utilize this funding for direct expenditures related to the study. This may include current staff time, new contract position(s) or outside consultants dedicated to this study. The Public Works Facilities Management Division will absorb as much of this project’s cost within its current General Fund budget prior to expending these contingency funds. (C-91-10-060-2-00)
