NOW THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO:
Section 1. That there be and is hereby appropriated out of the General Funds of the City, the following amounts:

Section 4. That there be and is hereby appropriated out of the unexpended receipts from sewer rental and unexpended balance in that fund to the Sewer Department, the sum of One Thousand Six Hundred ($1,600.00) Dollars.
Section 5. From receipts received from the Recreation Department to the Recreation Fund, the sum of Eight Thousand ($8,000.00) Dollars.
By reason of the fact that it is necessary to provide funds to carry on the work of the various departments for the balance of the year, a special emergency exists. Therefore, the City Council finds and determines that the passage of this ordinance is immediately necessary for the preservation of the public health, peace and safety, it shall take effect upon its passage.
