(Commissioner McDaniel’s Request) Notes: TIME CERTAIN ITEMS: 7/23/2024 11:18 AM 07/23/2024 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to authorize Budget Amendments in the amount of $162,000 to maintain compliance and continue funding daily operations within the Water/Sewer Operating budget (Fund 4008). OBJECTIVE: To reallocate the Fiscal Year 2024 (FY24) Water/Sewer operational funding to continue critical operations in order to maintain compliance and reliability. CONSIDERATIONS: This Executive Summary essentially seeks two Budget Amendments. The first Budget Amendment is to transfer budget out of two fund centers to cover the estimated $82,000 increase in bank fees. The Board approved increase in the user fee rate effective January 1, 2024. Many of the accounts use credit cards to pay, which we pay bank fees for. The bank fees are calculated on the amount charged on the credit card. Since user fee rates went up, staff estimates that additional $82,000 is needed to cover bank fees through FY24. The second Budget Amendment is to transfer $80,000 from one fund center to fund the personal service through FY24. This increase in funding is needed to cover the unexpected turnover and termination payout in the Wastewater Administration. FISCAL IMPACT: The requested Budget Amendment will provide funding for year-end operational costs, $82,000 covering the bank fees for the Water-Sewer District and $80,000 covering the personal service for the Wastewater Administration through FY24. The Budget Amendment will reallocate $162,000 within the Water/Sewer Operating budgets (Fund 4008). GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact for this action. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney, raises no legal issues and requires majority vote for approval. -JAK RECOMMENDATION: To authorize Budget Amendments in the amount of $162,000 to maintain compliance and continue funding daily operations within the Water/Sewer Operating budget (Fund 4008).
