EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to authorize an additional Tropical Storm Fay budget amendment
transferring appropriations of $177,000 from MSTD General Fund (Fund 111) Reserves to
the appropriate emergency expense cost center in Fund (111) for storm related
Transportation landscape expenditures.
OBJECTIVE: Provide sufficient additional budget within the MSTD General Fund (111) TS Fay
cost center totaling $177,000 to offset expenses connected with replacementirepair of damaged
landscape treatments.
CONSIDERATIONS: On August 18, 2008, the Board declared a state of emergency in Collier
County for TS Fay. Pursuant to this declaration, the Board authorized two specific budget
amendments — one for $250,000 for General Fund (001) storm expenses and one for $450,000 in
MSTD General Fund (I 11) — to pay for storm related debris removal expenses. To date most of the
budgeted dollars have been expended or encumbered.
Expenses connected with replacing damaged landscape treatments could not be absorbed within
existing budgeted cost centers. The BCC is asked to authorize an additional budget amendment
moving dollars from MSTD General Fund (111) reserves to the appropriate emergency cost center
in Fund (111) providing sufficient budget to make the necessary landscape replacements/repairs.
Reimbursement for expenses will be sought through insurance.
To provide adequate and timely reimbursements, it is prudent to account for Transportation storm
related landscape expenditures within the emergency MSTD General Fund (111) cost center.
FISCAL EMPACT: A budget amendment is needed to appropriate $177,000.00 in FY 2008 to
pay invoices related to TS Fay landscape expenses. This amount will be moved to cost center
144249 in Fund 111 to account for storm related landscape damages. Funding is available in the
MSTD General Fund 111 reserves. Reimbursement of expenses procured through insurance
proceeds and/or other sources will be accounted for through the storm expense cost center.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no Growth Management Impact associated
with this Executive Summary.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: There are no direct legal considerations to address.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners approve the necessary budget
amendment.
