e Ms. Smith questioned the transfer of contingency--appropriations Exhibits A--unemployment insurance fund transfer $87,833 to cover expenditures for unemployment insurance claims not anticipated. She asked how that compared with any past experience the City had had in terms of transfer of funds. Mr. Stubbert, Budget Officer, replied that this appropriation is in the unemployment insurance fund. It is not general fund cont ingency.
