Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Water&Sewer Fund in the amount of $9,000,000.00,from newly recognized revenues,for the purpose of funding increased operating expenses and transferring to the Water and Sewer Capital Projects Fund; 2.

Amend the Fiscal Year 2022 Adopted Budget and Fiscal Years 2022-2026 Capital Improvement Program. DISCUSSION: The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication(M&C)is to recognize additional Water&Sewer revenue projected to be received by the Utility due to drier than usual weather conditions during the fiscal year. Receipts and appropriations in the Water&Sewer Fund will be increased to be used for current operating costs affected by inflation and supply chain issues,funding capital equipment and supplementing the Utility's pay- as-you-go capital program which has also been affected by inflation and supply chain issues. Water&Sewer Fund (recommendation 1) Per Ordinance No. 25073-09 2021 Section 4,the Fiscal Year(FY)2022 adopted budget for the Water and Sewer Fund was$491,582,041.00. M&C appropriations throughout the year increased the budget by$38,385,052.00 to$529,967,093.00(M&C 22-0260, M&C 22-0043,M&C 22- 0486 and Pending 03FY2022WINDUP).This M&C recommends an additional$9,000,000.00 in revenue appropriations for FY2022,for an adjusted budget of$538,967,093.00. Expenditure appropriations in the General Operating and Maintenance accounts will increase by$4,000,000.00. Residential meter costs have significantly increased and supply chain issues have caused delays in receiving needed parts and supplies.These issues are causing large projected overruns. Expenditure appropriations in the Transfers and Other accounts will increase by$5,000,000.00. Emergency equipment repairs and equipment improvements are required to maintain operations; additionally,the Utility's repair and rehabilitation projects have been affected by inflation and supply chain issues.To balance these increases in expenditures, revenue appropriations will also increase by $9,000,000.00. This fiscal year has been significantly warmer and drier than normal,and retail service revenue is expected to exceed projections, helping to offset the aforementioned rising costs. The action in this M&C will amend the Fiscal Year 2022 Adopted Budget as approved in connection with Ordinance 25073-09-2021, Section 4. Enterprise Funds,as listed on page 18.
