EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The General Services Department would like to request authorization to reallocate the $500,000 Fleet Operations contingency to pay for inventory expenses through June 30, 2024.

Within this operating budget a $500,000 contingency is budgeted every year to cover unexpected cost increases.

This action does not increase expenditure authority or appropriations. It is a reallocation of contingency appropriations to allow for payment of invoices generated through the repair and maintenance activities of the Fleet Management Division.
