Title
Consideration of and action on an ordinance to amend the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Crime Control and Prevention District budget for construction of the new Emergency Operations Center.
Body
Summary:
At the November 15, 2022 Council Meeting, City Council awarded the contract for the construction of the new Emergency Operations Center (EOC) to Durotech in the amount of $6,990,000.00. $3,580,000.00 of the project is funded by the Crime Control and Prevention District and $3,500,000.00 by the City’s Capital Improvements Fund.
Due to shifting project completion timelines, work that was expected to be completed in FY 2022-2023 was delayed and completed in FY 2023-2024. With the project delays transcending fiscal years, it caused the estimated project expenditures for FY 2022-2023 to be less than anticipated and FY 2023-2024 expenditures to be more than what was budgeted.
The FY 2023-2024 Budget included $1,246,200.00 for the construction of the EOC. $1,780,921.62 is expected to be spent. On November 5, 2024, City Council passed a budget amendment to allocate an additional $225,000.00 to the EOC project. Now that all FY 2023-2024 accruals have been entered, it is necessary to allocated another $310,000.00 to fully fund the project in the proper fiscal year. This additional appropriation would be funded by the unassigned fund balance of the Crime Control and Prevention District.
Fiscal/Budgetary Impact:
Add $310,000.00 to the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 budget for the Police Department (Account No. 820-300-49020, Buildings) to be funded by the unassigned fund balance of the Crime Control and Prevention District, which is available for this purpose.
Recommended action
Approve the ordinance to amend the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Crime Control and Prevention District budget for the Police Department.
