Body
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt the 48th Amendment to the Annual Appropriation Resolution No. 2025-179 to appropriate $3,711,500 for operating programs and previously approved capital improvement projects in the Public Works Department.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff recommends the Council adopt a resolution approving the rebudget of various funding for operating programs and previously approved capital projects so that the appropriations in Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 are sufficient to cover anticipated expenditures. The recommended resolution will appropriate $3,711,500 in funding to the current fiscal budget year. The recommended appropriations do not include any General Fund. Funding sources include Proposition 111 Special Gas Tax, Community Facilities District No. 2, High Speed Rail, developer deposits for right-of-way acquisition, New Growth Area Major Street Impact Fees, and Traffic Signal Mitigation Impact Fees.
BACKGROUND
Annually, the Department reviews its operating programs and capital project appropriations and recommends adjustments to complete anticipated construction during the year. This review ensures that adequate appropriations are in place to complete the programs and projects given the most recent information.
Based on a review of operating and capital improvement project budgets, a number of budgets require adjustment to meet the planned expenditures for the fiscal year. Some highlights of the rebudget are:
• The Operating Budget will be increased by $292,600 in order to utilize the carryover revenue from FY 2025 activities in FY 2026 to deliver service to the community. Carryover in Proposition 111 Special Gas Tax in the amount of $42,600 is identified for the Traffic Signals and Streetlights Division. Appropriations for the Landscape Maintenance Division are proposed to be increased by $250,000 for Community Facilities District (CFD) No. 2 Maintenance.
• Appropriations for Street and Bridge Projects are proposed to be adjusted by $330,000 in High-Speed Rail funding. The increase is for High-Speed Rail Development Services associated with the plan review and field inspection of City infrastructure being constructed by the High-Speed Rail project.
• Appropriations for Miscellaneous Projects are proposed to be increased by $3,088,900. This increase is to allow for developer reimbursements from the impact fee programs for completed infrastructure, and to enable the close out and refunding of developer deposits for right-of-way acquisition. A detailed list of all projects and locations is included in the attached Capital Projects Detail List.
The recommended Resolution would amend the appropriations within the identified operating programs and capital projects to allow for the completion of work this fiscal year. To meet the projected funding requirements, $3,711,500 in funding must be appropriated. The proposed adjustments are summarized in the table attached. Detailed adjustments are in the Amendment to the Annual Appropriation Resolution attached.
