Title
Amending the 2024 spending budget in the Department of Public Works Traffic Signs and Markings accounting unit for the purpose of purchasing a replacement printer.
Body
WHEREAS, the Public Works Traffic Operations division has used a Gerber-brand printer for sign and parking permit production but this printer is no longer fully supported by the vendor. A need for a replacement printer has been identified, which is expected to cost more than the adopted budget; and
WHEREAS, this printer intended to replace the defunct existing printer with a newer HP Latex 800 Printer, which is still fully supported and is also a commonly used model by the City of Minneapolis, Ramsey County, and MnDOT; and
WHEREAS, there are sufficient savings in the Signs and Markings accounting unit’s Services and Materials budget to cover the above costs; therefore via
ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER, consistent with the authority granted to the Mayor in Section 10.07.4 of the City Charter, and on the request of the Director of the Public Works Department to amend the 2024 budget in the Public Works Traffic Signs and Markings accounting unit, the Office of Financial Services is authorized to amend said budget in the manner as specified in the attached financial analysis.
