SUBJECT:
Ratify Amount of$3,045,808.09 in Past Transfers and Expenditures to Correct Project and Fund
Imbalances to Allow Closure of Completed Projects and Funds, Restore Street Maintenance Funding in the
Same Amount from Available Revenues, and Adopt Appropriation Ordinances (ALL COUNCIL
DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Ratify a past transfer in the amount of$3,045,808.09 from the Contract Street Maintenance Fund
(C293) to the Transportation and Public Works Community Facility Agreement Fund (C205) to correct
project and fund imbalances related to past expenditures;

Works Community Facility Agreement Fund in the amount of$3,045,808.09 for purposes of correcting
project and fund imbalances related to past expenditures;
3. Ratify the amount of$3,045,808.09 in past expenditures from the Transportation and Public Works
Community Facility Agreement Fund;
4. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing receipts and appropriations in the Capital
Projects Reserve Fund (Gas Well Revenue) (GC10) in the amount of$3,045,808.09 from available funds
for purposes of making a transfer to the Contract Street Maintenance Fund;

DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to correct project and fund imbalances to
facilitate project close-out and the upcoming transition from the mainframe accounting system to
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Financial Management System.
In connection with the transition, the Financial Management Services Department has been working with
all City departments to conduct a comprehensive review of open capital funds, accounts, and projects.

The goal has been to verify and "clean up" data in all of the capital funds and close projects and capital
funds that are no longer needed so that the City's financial records are in the best possible condition when
ERP Phase II goes live. During the review process, it was discovered that some projects and funds are
out of balance.
A number of the imbalanced projects relate to the Transportation and Public Works (TPW) Community
Facility Agreement Fund (CFA Fund), which is used to manage funds for developer initiated projects, and
the Contract Street Maintenance Fund, which is used to pay for street maintenance and repairs performed
by third-party contractors.
Approval of this M&C would bring the two affected funds back into balance and appropriate other available
dollars to replace the street maintenance funding that was previously spent elsewhere. Staff has identified
the amount of$3,045,808.09 in unallocated Gas Well Revenue in the Capital Reserves Fund (GC10) and
is recommending that money be appropriated and transferred to the Contract Street Maintenance Fund so
it can be used to perform street maintenance. These actions are necessary to complete project and fund
close-out in advance of go-live.
Enhanced budgetary and expenditure controls built into the ERP software are designed to prohibit
expenditures that exceed appropriations and are expected to prevent this type of situation from occurring
in the future.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations
and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinances, funds will be available in the current capital
budget, as appropriated in the Contract Street Maintenance Fund.
