Explanation
September 9, 2003
BACKGROUND:
This ordinance authorizes a $250,000 supplemental appropriation for the Fleet Management Division of the Public Service Department. The supplemental appropriation is needed to allow the Fleet Management Division to contract for services, on behalf of the Division of Sewerage and Drainage to rebuild two Cat Loaders at the Compost Facility. The cost of the contracted services was not anticipated in Fleet's original budget. Instead, Sewers and Drains intended to replace the equipment and budgeted for the Cat Loaders as a purchase in 2003. The decision was made to rebuild existing equipment, however, to realize potential cost savings.
The Division of Sewerage and Drainage has accommodated the increase in the Fleet Internal Billing through Ordinance 1745-2003, which passed Council on 7/28/2003. Ordinance 1745-2003 transferred $240,000 from object level 1 06-6651 to object level 1 03-3380 within the Sewerage System Operating Fund 650. The Division of Sewerage and Drainage has sufficient authority available in object level 1 03 to cover the remaining $10,000.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Division of Sewerage and Drainage will realize a cost savings due to rebuilding existing equipment, rather than purchase new equipment. The Division of Sewerage and Drainage has the capacity to pay the fleet internal bill for this work.
