Title
Consideration of and action on an ordinance to amend the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 Golf Course Lease Fund Budget for the purchase of a Lynx Irrigation Controller.
Body
Summary:
The Fiscal Year 2022-2023 budget for the General Fund does include contingency funds for unexpected expenditures. Parks and Recreation is requesting $32,000.00 of the available $424,000.00 remaining budgeted contingency in General Fund’s General Government Department for the purchase of a Lynx irrigation controller for the Battleground Golf Course.
The Lynx irrigation controller will automate and regulate the watering of the greens, resulting in greater efficiency of staff time and water usage. Staff received a quote in the amount of $31,729.70 from Professional Turf Products that will be honored until June. Past June, the price is expected to increase. In order to obtain the best price for the City, staff has requested to purchase this system now instead of waiting until the next budget year.
Being that this system is an unexpected purchase, a budget amendment is requested in the amount of $32,000.00 to be funded from the General Fund’s Contingency which is available for this purpose.
Fiscal/Budgetary Impact:
Add $32,000.00 to the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 budget for the Golf Course Lease Fund (Account No. 084-450- 49040, Machinery & Equipment) to be funded from the General Fund’s General Government Contingency (Account No. 010-105-45100), which is available for this purpose.
Recommended action
Approve the ordinance to amend the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 budget for the Golf Course Lease Fund.
