LOG NAME: 60FY23BUDGETADJUSTMENT
SUBJECT
(ALL) Enact Fiscal Year 2023 Budget Adjustments by Allocating Projected Current -Year Revenues to Offset Projected Shortfalls, Fund
Departmental Capital Outlays and Capital Projects, Authorize All Associated Transfers and Adopt Appropriation Ordinances and Amend the
Fiscal Year 2023 Adopted Budget and the 2023-2027 Capital Improvement Program
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Water & Sewer Fund in the amount of
$40,000,000, from newly recognized revenues, for the purpose of funding increased operating expenses and transfers;
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Water & Sewer Capital Projects Fund
in the amount of $2,500,000.00, transferred from avaliable funds in the Water and Sewer Fund, for the purpose of funding the Water and
Sewer Outlay programmable project (City Project No. P00087); and
3. Amend the Fiscal Year 2023 Adopted Budget and the 2023-2027 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. 25773-09 2022 Section 4, the Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 adopted budget for the Water and Sewer Fund was $515,451,460.00.
M&C appropriations throughout the year increased the budget by $130,000.00 to $515,581,460.00 (M&C 23-0105). This M&C recommends an
additional $40,000,000.00, from newly recognized revenues, in revenue appropriations for FY2023, for an adjusted budget of $555,581,460.00.
Expenditure appropriations in the General Operating and Maintenance accounts will increase by $15,000,000.00. Inflationary factors have
increased the costs of residential meters, chemicals, fuel and paving materials. These issues are causing large projected overruns to the current
FY2023 budget. These same inflationary costs and supply chain issues, such as the cost of pipe and electrical materials, are impacting the costs
of capital projects and pay-as-you-go program as well. The Utility will also fund capital equipment purchases such as motors, drives, pumps and
compressors in FY2023. Consequently, the Transfer appropriations will increase by $25,000,000.00. These appropriations will allow the Utility to
address these rising costs.
To balance these increases in expenditures, revenue appropriations will also increase by $40,000,000.00. 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 2023 Adopted Budget as approved in connection with Ordinance 25773-09-2022, Section 4.
