WHEREAS, the City Council, pursuant to Article 689a-15 (VATS,
Supp. 1986), and Section 6.04 of the revised City Charter, make
the following findings of facto
1. After the adoption of the original budget, the
amount of trees, brush and other burnable refuse
deposited at the Georgetown Solid Waste Facility has
far exceeded the amounts reasonably anticipated. That
due to such excessive amounts deposited, the capacity
of the Facility for storage of such materials has been
substantially reduced, and will soon be exceeded. To
remedy this situation, an emergency transfer of funds
from an unencumbered appropriations balance to a new
account is necessary for the purchase of a trench
burner device to reduce the quantity of material
rapidly accumulating in such Facility. That such
condition and purchase was unforseen, and could not, by
reasonable diligent thought, have been included in the
original budget; that the total of this amendment with
those previously made doesn't exceed 2.5% of the
original budget.
