SUBJECT GENERAL FUND SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION ORDINANCE TO PROVIDE
ADDITIONAL FUNDS FOR SPEED HUMP PROGRAM DURING FY 1998-1999
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to adopt the attached supplemental
appropriation ordinance increasing appropriations in the General Fund by $249,000 and decreasing the
unreserved, undesignated fund balance by the same amount to provide additional funds for the Speed
Hump Program during Fiscal Year 1998-1999
DISCUSSION
In July 1998, the City Council approved the existing Speed Hump Program Excluding the six streets in
the pilot program, City staff has processed a total of 166 requests for speed humps Of these, sixteen
streets have had speed humps installed (a total of 50 speed humps) Fifty-three of the requested
streets did not meet the technical guidelines and eleven are still under investigation The remaining
funds budgeted for the Fiscal Year 1998-1999 would cover the installation of nine more speed humps,
equivalent to approximately three streets. There are eighty-three streets which have met the technical
guidelines and have been approved for speed hump installation by staff A total of 249 speed humps
have been identified for these eighty-three streets at an estimated cost of $249,000; however, funds are
not available for these installations
The City Council's Facilities and Infrastructure Committee recommended the funding of these eighty-
three additional streets. During the Pre-Council session on March 16, 1999, the City Council directed
staff to utilize General Fund reserves (fund balance) to provide the $249,000 needed Because of the
magnitude of this effort, City staff and private contractors will likely be used to install the speed humps,
markings and signage
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION
The Finance Director certifies that upon adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be
available in the current operating budget, as appropriated, of the General Fund The unreserved,
undesignated fund balance of the General Fund following this supplemental appropriation will be $32,502,857
