DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
In the Water Maintenance and Operations Cost Center, Right of Way (ROW) permits increased from $35 per permit to $200 per permit between FY 2023 and FY 2024. This has caused spending for ROW permits to be much greater than budgeted, causing a shortfall in funds in 546105. Purchases of Sodium Hypochlorite and Aqua Mag have increased causing a shortage in Operating Supplies object 552108.
In the Wastewater Maintenance and Operations cost center, Wastewater biosolids clean up and disposal have increased greatly with the purchase of the new Vactor truck, resulting in additional funds needed in object 534101. Repairs and Maintenance of fleet vehicles is higher than expected, resulting in additional funds being needed for 546257.
In both cost centers, the estimated funds needed for Vehicle Parts in object 552257 was less than the actual expenses which is due to Fleet implementing the Work Order system and improving the allocations between parts and maintenance.
The emergency budget amendment for the purchase of the replacement vehicles due to the vehicle fire moved the entire purchase price from reserves, however, a portion of each vehicle was covered by insurance, resulting in additional fund availability in the Capital object in each cost center. This is a one-time request.
