Agenda 07/26/2011 Item #16C27/26/2011 Item 16.C.2.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve a budget amendment in the amount of $120,000 to reallocate
budgeted operating expenses between operating fund centers within the Utility Billing and
Customer Service Department to reflect FY2011 forecasted expenditures.
OBJECTIVE: Approve a budget amendment to reallocate operating expenses within the Utility
Billing and Customer Service Department (UBCS) fund centers to reflect FY2011 forecasted
expenditures.
CONSIDERATIONS: Budgeted FY2011 operating expense for the five UBCS fund centers is
$4,035,400, and is forecasted to be under budget by $15,000. However, particular operating
expenses within those five fund centers are forecasted to be over budget. A budget amendment
is necessary to reallocate budget dollars to reflect anticipated expenditures this fiscal year.
Bank charges, which include fees charged to the utility when customers utilize credit cards to
pay their utility bills, are forecasted to exceed budget by approximately $116,000. Multiple
unanticipated long -term sick leaves required the use of job bankers to maintain billing and
customer service activities. This resulted in Personnel Services forecast to exceed budget by
approximately $26,000. Overall department cost containment activities and other deferred
operating expenses of $22,000 offset these increases to reduce the requested budget amendment
amount to $120,000. No reserves will be utilized.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funds are available within the FY2011 Water -Sewer District Operating Fund
(408) approved budget. There is no net fiscal impact associated with this budget amendment.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: There are no legal issues presented. This item requires a
majority vote. - JAB
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve a budget amendment in the amount of $120,000 to reallocate
budgeted operating expenses between operating fund centers within the Utility Billing and
Customer Service Department to reflect FY201 l forecasted expenditures.
