***RESOLUTION - Adopting the 54th Amendment to the Annual Appropriation Resolution No. 2023-185 to appropriate $1,199,100 for operating programs and previously approved capital improvement projects in the Public Works Department (citywide) (Requires 5 Affirmative Votes) (Subject to Mayor’s Veto).
Body
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the 54th Amendment to the Annual Appropriation Resolution No. 2023-185 to appropriate $1,199,100 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 funds from the previous fiscal year for operating programs and previously approved capital projects so that the appropriations in FY 2024 are sufficient to cover anticipated expenditures. The recommended resolution will appropriate $1,199,100 in funding to the current fiscal budget year. The funding proposed to be rebudgeted in FY 2024 includes Proposition 111 Special Gas Tax funds for Traffic Signal & Streetlight Maintenance, reimbursements back to developers for remaining balances in the right-of-way acquisition funds, and Community Facilities District No. 12 revenues for maintenance in the Copper River development area.
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 $400,000 in order to utilize the carryover revenue from FY 2023 activities in FY 2024 to deliver service to the community. The carryover is identified for the acquisition of streetlight poles and inventory for the Traffic Signal and Streetlight (TSSL) Maintenance Division.
• Appropriations for Street and Bridge Projects are proposed to be adjusted by $44,400. The adjustment represents carryover for the FY21 Neighborhood Street Improvement Project.
• Appropriations for Miscellaneous projects are proposed to be increased by $754,000. This increase is to allow for developer reimbursements for Tract 5538, Tract 6240 and Community Facilities District 12 Copper River Maintenance District.
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, $1,119,100 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.
