<br />The largest category of carryover is for the purchase orders and contracts that have been
<br />initiated but not yet completed. These need to be carried over to fulfill legal and contractual
<br />obligations for goods and services in process at the close of the fiscal year. In addition, a
<br />number of requests from departments for continuing certain prior year appropriations have been
<br />included and an itemized list can be found in Appendix C.
<br />
<br />It is also recommended that a portion of the budgeted contingency not expended be carried over
<br />for a number of potential expenditures such as additional recruitments, fee studies, and energy
<br />and gasoline price fluctuations.
<br />
<br />The amount of $250,000 was also budgeted in the prior year contingency for energy
<br />demonstration projects but was not expended. Staff is recommending that this specific amount
<br />be carried over and used to fund the Solar Cities Program (Livermore & Pleasanton) approved
<br />by City Council in October 2006.
