Recommendation for the Board of County Commissioners to approve a budget
amendment to move $88,000 in unspent General Fund dollars that rolled from fiscal
year 2007 into fiscal year 2008 within Transportation Disadvantaged Fund (427) to
the Collier Area Transit Operations Center Capital project element with Fund
(313).
OBJECTIVE: Process a budget amendment moving $88,000 in unspent FY 2007
General Fund dollars which rolled within Transportation Disadvantaged Fund (427) to
the Collier Area Transit Operations Center Capital project element within Fund (313) in
order to fund required sewer connection expenses,
CONSIDERATION: The Department of Alternative Transportation Modes has been
working with the Facilities Department to complete renovations and improvements at
8300 Radio Road, a Collier County property purchased for the operation and
maintenance of Collier Area Transit/Paratransit In December, staff had reported to the
Board of County Commissioners that the Health Department was requiring the County to
connect to the County scwer system, The planned use of the septic 5ystem was
compromised during the installation of irrigation and fire hydrant lines making the septic
system inoperable,
The County Facilities Department, working with the County Utilities Department,
determined that connecting to the existing sewer system of Ibis Club, a residential
community adjacent to the property, would only serve as a temporary solution and that it
would be in the County's best interest to maintain a separate sewer connection, The
expense for this sewer connection is anticipated to be approximately $324,600, Some of
the planned renovations for the Operations Center have been placed on hold in order to
minimize the unanticipated scwer expense, An additional $88,000 from the FY08
paratransit budget is needed to complete the sewer construction and connection,
In 2007, $851,100 in savings were achieved in the Transportation Disadvantaged Fund
(427) due to the consolidation of Transportation Disadvantaged and the Fixed Route
Services under one contract; which resulted in a 44% decrease in the number of
paratransit trips from 2006 to 2007,
,-
FISCAL IMP ACT: A total of approximately $851,100 in unspent General Fund dollars
rolled from fiscal year 2007 into fiscal year 2008 within Transportation Disadvantaged
Fund (427), From this amount, the Board of County Commissioners on January 15, 2008
authorized a budget amendment moving $700,000 to Fund (313) in order to support the
Bridge Repair/Rehabilitation program, The remaining unspent FY 2007 General Fund
roll is approximately $151,100. Transportation staff is requesting that $88,000 be moved
via budget amendment from Fund (427) project (31427) to Fund (313) project (35010) in
order to fund sewer connection expenses. If approved, the remaining roll balance of
General Fund dollars within Transportation Disadvantaged Fund (427) would total
approximately $63,100,
