Presentation (City Controller): This is a budget transfer ordinance no additional corporation requested. In Indiana, we have a requirement that transfers to personnel to supply services of capital must be approved by the common council. Whereas 2014, in the past we've brought these forward to you twice a year, mid -year and also the end of the year. This year we thought based upon your previous request we would bring those more frequently so we will bring it March, July, and December with the transfers. Chairman Schey- Council any questions on this bill, none. Any members of the audience looking to speak in favor of bill 20 -14 if so please come to the podium.
