Discuss, consider and take appropriate action on a line item transfer for Merit - Emergency Svcs Department.

Each year when budget is loaded, we must manually back out merit from each salary line (object code 1100) and put it into the appropriate merit line (object code 1130).  Our report does not pick up new positions since they do not receive merit.  Because we had two PCN's coming out of grants (grants are not tracked in PowerPlan because our office does not budget for them), we had to set these up as two existing slots or "new positions" and manually give them each merit.  The report did not include these merit dollars in our calculation and, therefore, were not backed out of line 0341-001100 (MOT/Salary) and moved into 8004-001130 (Emergency Svcs/Merit).  This transfer will make that correction.
