2) Reduce the following funding to offset this increase:
a. Veterinary Services ($26,516)

c. Contingency (50,000)
Total ($101,516)
3) Transfer $95,400 appropriation for Animal Services vehicles from Police Department to Recreation Services. This was an administrative correction due to the recent transition of Animal Services from the Police Department to Recreation Services.
