DESIGNATING FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($40,000) IN PREVIOUSLY APPROPRIATED FUNDS FOR THE USE OF THE REAL PROPERTY DIVISION OF THE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION TO PROVIDE FUNDING FOR THE CREATION OF A DATABASE OF ALL CITY-OWNED REAL PROPERTY.
WHEREAS, FY/10 Goal 8, Priority Objective 4, requires the City to "develop the parameters for completing a comprehensive inventory of City owned properties in two phases"; and
WHEREAS, phase one consists of identifying the resources and
locations of City property information and assessing data base requirements needed to input a comprehensive data base as well as link properties with the City's GIS system; and
WHEREAS, phase two will consist of implementing the data base, entering available data and researching missing elements; and
WHEREAS, EC-10-52, a report to the City Council on the progress of developing the database required by FY/10 Goal 8, Priority Objective 4, states that the Legal Department and ISD have produced a draft "Project Concept Report" that looks at the costs and benefits of alternative plans and phases for completing the property database; and
WHEREAS, the short-term goal of the project is to develop a prototype system that incorporates specialized filing equipment, data format conversion software and digital imaging equipment for conversion of microfilm and paper files into digital files to speed up search and retrieval; and
WHEREAS, the next step in the process is to screen and select potential service vendors to begin the implementation of data sorting and entry, with a database being ready in approximately six months; and
WHEREAS, the City Council, in 2005, Council Services general fund dollars were appropriated to project #7304440 for Land Use, Redevelopment, and Policy projects at the discretion of the City Council; and
WHEREAS, funds sufficient to cover the appropriation made in Section 1 below remain in project #7304440; and
WHEREAS, the City Council believes that the development of a comprehensive database of City-owned properties will potentially affect land use and redevelopment in the City and therefore the designation of these funds for the purposes specified in Section 1 are appropriate.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL, THE GOVERNING BODY OF THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE:
Section 1. That forty thousand dollars ($40,000) is hereby designated within the Land Use, Redevelopment and Policy project, activity number 7304440, for the use of the Real Property Division of the Department of Finance and Administrative Services to help offset costs associated with the development of a comprehensive database of City-owned real property.
