LOG NAME: 60PONTOON BOAT REFERENCE NO.: **C-22130
SUBJECT:
Authorization to Transfer Funds from the Lake Worth Infrastructure Escrow Account to the Water
and Sewer Operating Fund and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance for the Purchase of a Replacement
Pontoon Boat, Motor and Trailer for the Water Department
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the transfer of $24,000.00 from the Lake Worth Infrastructure Escrow Account to the Water and
Sewer Operating Fund; and
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Water and Sewer Operating Fund in the amount of $24,000.00.
DISCUSSION:
Water Department at Lake Worth currently utilizes a pontoon boat, motor and trailer to maintain buoys and
barriers around the Lake. This equipment, purchased in 1988, has a history of mechanical and electrical
problems and is no longer reliable. Staffs duties will also include management and inspection
responsibilities for a recent Lake Worth pilot dredging project. In addition to a boat and trailer, global
positioning and depth finding equipment will be needed to monitor the depth and location of the dredging
work. Reliable transportation and measuring equipment are essential to the effective performance of these
duties.
The transferred funds will be utilized to purchase a new pontoon boat, motor, trailer, global positioning
system and depth finder. Recent estimates from area boat dealers show that the pontoon boat, trailer,
global positioning system and depth finder can be purchased for under $25,000.00.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 7.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Finance Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendation and adoption of the
attached supplemental appropriation ordinance funds will be available in the current operating budget, as
appropriated, of the Water and Sewer Operating Fund.
