This ordinance appropriates $610,000 for critical repairs to the City Hall St. James Parking Garage. The funding is sourced from two main areas:

• $547,652.72 from the General Fund Operating Fund (specifically, the General Capital Improvement Projects – ISA Debt Management Fund – Interest Account).
• $62,347.28 from the Parking Capital Improvements Fund, comprising $60,000.00 from a transfer from Fund 41108 and $2,347.28 from investment pool earnings.

The appropriation is designated for "Other Construction Costs" within the Parking Capital Improvements Fund for the St. James Garage Maintenance Repairs project (Project 011270). This action also amends the 2026-2030 Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) approved by Ordinance 2025-505-E to reflect this funding. Oversight of the project will be provided by the Department of Public Works, Public Buildings Division. The ordinance requests one-cycle emergency passage due to public safety concerns related to the garage's structural integrity and daily use by city staff. The legislation was introduced on February 10, 2026, and received emergency/amended approval from the NCSPHS and F committees on February 17 and 18, 2026, respectively, with a public hearing and final approval by the full Council on February 24, 2026.
