Pelican Bay Services Division Budget Committee Meeting Oct. 4, 2024 Mr. Fogg motioned, Mr. Rodburg seconded to approve the 4/1/2024 meeting minutes as presented. The motion carried unanimously. AUDIENCE COMMENTS None REVIEW OF YEAR-END FY24 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Mr. Fogg reviewed highlights of the preliminary year-end FY24 financial statements which included the following. • Revenues in the Operating Fund came in higher than budget as a result of higher than expected interest and miscellaneous revenues. • Salaries, taxes, and retirement came in lower than budget, resulting from open positions. • Operating expenses came in lower than budget, partly as a result in delays in invoicing. • Operating Fund transfers to the tax collector were lower than budget. • The Operating Fund balance of $2.4 million is made up of $1.449 million in reserves and an approximate $900,000 in a net Operating Fund variance, which will be carried over to FY26. • Our Street Lighting Fund is funded by ad valorem taxes. Any surplus after fund expenses will be transferred to the Capital Project Fund. • Interest revenue in the Capital Project Fund came in much higher than budget. • At year-end our Signage Project had a balance of $429,000. A solicitation package to replace our remaining signage is in process by the County Procurement Dept. • At year-end our Beach Renourishment Project had a balance of $697,000. During FY24 funds in this project were used for a dune swale project and a Clam Bay dredging project. We are hoping to receive reimbursement for our dredging project from the TDC. • In FY24, $1.4 million has been spent on our Operations Bldg. Project; so far the project is on budget. • At year-end our Sidewalk Project had a balance of $209,000. • At year-end we had a "reserve for projects" of $160,000; staff is in the process of determining how and where this line item will be carry forwarded to in FY25. • At year-end our Clam Bay Capital Project Fund had a carryforward of approximately $100,000. In addition, the County will provide $156,300 to us for Clam Bay expenses in a separate FY25 account. • At year-end our Commercial Paper Account had an available balance (to be drawn down if needed) of $598,000. REVIEW OF CAPITAL PROJECT ACCOUNTS CAPITAL PROJECTS Mr. Fogg reviewed a spreadsheet, included in the agenda packet, of each of our capital projects which identified (1) FY24 budget, (2) FY24 project cairyforwards, (3) FY25 budgeted additions to each project, (4) proposed budget amendments to several projects, and (5) FY25 net project budget available. He noted that our Sidewalk Project has an overage of $485,000 resulting fiom additional irrigation replacement and repair expenses (over and above the owner's 2 Pelican Bay Services Division Budget Committee Meeting Oct. 4, 2024 allowance). Staff has proposed a reduction of $285,000 in our Beach Renourishment Project and $200,000 in our Traffic Sign Renovation Project to cover the Sidewalk Project overage. Mr. Fogg commented that we have obtained a good faith estimate to remediate Hurricane Helene damage to the dune swale (located along Bay Colony, the Contessa, and adjoining high rises) of approximately $350,000. He recommended that this unbudgeted project is funded from our Contingency Reserve Account. Mr. Fogg commented that staff will make a FEMA claim for reimbursement for this remediation project. Mr. Coleman commented that the PBF's pickleball project will include remediation of that portion of the Community Park lake bank affecting their project. Mr. Fogg motioned, Mr. Stone seconded to recommend to the full board to approve a budget amendment to transfer $485,000 from two accounts to the Sidewalk Project to cover the shortfall, and to transfer $350,000 from our Contingency Reserve (to cover the Hurricane Helene remediation project). The motion carried unanimously. Mr. Fogg commented that he will make a recommendation to the board, at the October bond meeting, to approve this budget amendment. Mr. Coleman commented that the budget amendment in the agenda packet did not include the transfer of funds from the Contingency Reserve and that staff will prepare an additional budget amendment for that purpose. Mr. Rodburg suggested that staff prepares an article for the PB Post to discuss damage from Hurricane Helene and how it will be addressed by the PBSD. Mr. Coleman agreed. Mr. Coleman commented that the County now has a Coastal Resiliency Department to look at the countywide resiliency issue and explore possible remediation options. They will look at the entire coastline as a whole. Mr. Fogg commented that the PB Foundation is looking at resiliency in relation to their own assets.
