RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council
1 Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Capital Projects Reserve Fund by $150,000 from available funds, and
2. Authorize the transfer of $150,000 from the Capital Projects Reserve Fund to the Street Improvements
Fund, and
3 Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Street Improvements Fund by $150,000 from available funds for sidewalk improvements
DISCUSSION
On September 10, 2002, during the budget presentation at the Pre-Council meeting, the City Council
asked staff to evaluate options to fund additional sidewalk replacement and new construction beyond
the amount currently available in the Capital Projects Fund and the General Fund budget of $269,000
Staff recommends that the additional sidewalk work identified by the City Council be funded from the
Capital Projects Reserve Fund as a one-time expenditure in FY2002-2003
This approach has the advantage of eliminating the necessity of finding an offsetting reduction in the
General Fund operating budget to accommodate this increased spending With this year's difficult
budget, an increase for this purpose would have required an equivalent loss of services for citizens
elsewhere in the budget. This approach also provides the City Council with a year of additional funding
during which the overall sidewalk program can be evaluated in terms of utility and types of funding
While the Capital Projects Reserve Fund balance is low and a cause for some concern, staff estimates
that this fund represents the most suitable source for the $150,000 one-time cost. Based on revenues
that are expected to materialize and be posted in Fiscal Year 2001-2002, it is projected that `this fund
will have a fiscal year end balance of $1,487,135 00 before this expenditure
