Title
Consideration of and action on a recommendation to City Council to amend the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 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.
Due to shifting project completion timelines, work that was expected to be completed in FY 2023-2024 was delayed and completed in FY 2024-2025. With the project delays transcending fiscal years, it caused the estimated project expenditures for FY 2023-2024 to be less than anticipated and FY 2024-2025 expenditures to be more than what was budgeted.
The FY 2024-2025 Budget did not include funding for the construction of the EOC. $275,000.00 is expected to be spent. In order to allocated adequate funding in the proper fiscal year, a budget amendment in the amount of $275,000.00 is necessary. This additional appropriation would be funded by the unassigned fund balance of the Crime Control and Prevention District (CCPD).
On October 21st, action is to be taken at the regular City Council meeting regarding the ordinance to amendment the budget.
Fiscal/Budgetary Impact:
Add $275,000.00 to the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 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 recommendation to City Council to amend the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Crime Control and Prevention District budget for the Police Department.
