Recitals
The revenue appropriated by this Ordinance represents a grant from the Maryland Governor’s Office of Crime Control and Prevention in excess of the revenue relied on by the Board of Estimates in determining the tax levy required to balance the budget for Fiscal Year 2020.
That grant could not have been expected with reasonable certainty when the Ordinance of Estimates for Fiscal Year 2020 was formulated.
On March 25, 2020, the Board of Estimates recommended this appropriation to the City Council.
Section 1. Be it ordained by the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore, That $37,600 shall be made available to the Sheriff - Service 882 (Deputy Sheriff Enforcement) as a Supplementary General Fund Operating Appropriation for Fiscal Year 2020, to provide funding to improve the recruitment and retention of the Sheriff’s court security officers. The source of revenue for this appropriation is the grant from the Maryland Governor’s Office of Crime Control and Prevention in excess of the amount from this source that was relied on by the Board of Estimates in determining the tax levy required to balance the budget for Fiscal Year 2020.
Section 2. And be it further ordained, That this Ordinance takes effect on the date it is enacted.
