Official:Authorizing transfers in appropriations for Fiscal Year 2015 from the Grants Revenue Fund, the Director of Finance - Provision for Other Grants to certain or all City offices, departments, boards and commissions in the General Fund.
Sponsor: Council President Clarke
Introduced: February 5, 2015
: Committee on Appropriations
Status: Lapsed
This bill was introduced in the 2012–2015 Council term and when that term ran out. The public record shows no committee vote and no floor vote at any stage, so no member of Council ever went on record for or against it.
That is not unusual here. Of the 8,465 bills introduced between 2000 and 2025, 1,624 lapsed without a single recorded vote. Ninety percent of bills that became law carry a roll call. Three percent of lapsed bills do. How this works.
This bill allows the Director of Finance to transfer $11 million from the Grants Revenue Fund to the General Fund for the General Fund's 'Purchase of Services' and the Director of Commerce's 'Purchase of Services'. This transfer is contingent on the sale of the Love Park Parking Garage and a four-year agreement with the Avenue of the Arts North and South.
