Mayor and Council Communication
COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 1/31/2017 - Ordinance No. 22583-01-2017
DATE: Tuesday, January 31, 2017 REFERENCE NO.: **G-18935
LOG NAME: 03VEHICLE & EQUIPMENT TRANSFERS
SUBJECT:
Adopt Ordinance Amending Fiscal Year 2017 Capital Appropriation Ordinance to Amend the Vehicle and
Equipment Replacement Fund to Revise Appropriations to Consolidate the Funds into a Single
Programmable Project in Order for the Property Management Department to Efficiently Administer the
City's Vehicle and Equipment Replacement Program (ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached ordinance amending the Fiscal Year 2017
Capital Appropriation Ordinance (Ordinance 22394-09-2016) to amend the Vehicle and Equipment
Replacement Fund to revise appropriations to consolidate the funds into a single programmable project in
order for the Property Management Department to efficiently administer the City's Vehicle and Equipment
Replacement Program.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to reallocate previously appropriated
capital funds designated for vehicle replacement to a programmable project in order to facilitate the
efficient administration of replacing City vehicles by the Property Management Department.
Additionally, the purpose of this M&C is to reconcile accounts within the Vehicle and Equipment
Replacement Fund (VERF) to assist in fund maintenance, project reconciliation, and complete the
transition to the City's new capital planning process of the participating funds. In each of the projects in the
VERF, the actual revenue and expenditures will be balanced against each other. The necessary transfers
will be executed to amend the project budgets so that they are equal to actual receipts and expenditures,
which will allow these projects to be closed and funds reallocated within the programmable project for
further administration by the Property Management Department.
In September 2015, the City Council approved M&C G-18309, which appropriated funds to the newly
created VERF. The VERF is used in managing revenues and expenditures associated with acquisition of
the City's rolling stock, which includes automobiles, motorcycles, specialized mobile equipment, and other
motor driven capital assets. It supports ongoing efforts to improve long-range capital planning by providing
a mechanism for departments to set aside funding in preparation for upcoming vehicle-related capital
expenditures. The VERF also assists transparency and auditing efforts by providing a central account
repository for the purchase of most vehicles and equipment acquired by the City.
This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
FISCAL INFORMATION /CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations, funds will be available
in the current capital budgets, as appropriated, of the Vehicle and Equipment Replacement Fund.
