Title
Consideration of and action on an ordinance amending the Fiscal Year 2016-2017 Water & Sewer Fund Budget.
Body
Summary:
It has been determined that certain water quality improvements are needed for the Coy Street water storage tanks. A PAX system is being proposed which provides a mixer in both the elevated and ground storage tanks and a residual control system in the ground storage tank. It provides a more efficient and uniform method to boost the chlorine residual at the site and will have a direct impact on the water quality of the neighborhoods served by these tanks.
The proposal, totaling $148,595.00, includes a water quality station, a PAX Smart Controller, a chemical feed system for ammonia, a mixer for the ground storage tank, a mixer for the elevated storage tank, SCADA control and feedback, training, and installation.
The Contingency Account in the Water and Sewer Fund has an approved budget of $250,000, which was appropriated to fund expenses that were unanticipated at budget preparation time. To date, $183,710.31 has been expended or committed in the account, leaving a balance of $66,289.69. An additional $82,306 will need to be appropriated to fund the purchase of the PAX System.
The Fiscal Year 2016-2017 Water & Sewer Utility Fund Budget (Fund 40) is proposed to be amended as follows:
Increase the Contingency account in the Water and Sewer Fund (Acct. # 40-500-4510) by $82,306.
Fiscal/Budgetary Impact:
Increase the Fiscal Year 2016-2017 Water & Sewer Fund Budget by $82,306.00 to be funded by the prior year revenues of the Water & Sewer Fund, which are available for that purpose.
Recommended action
Approve the ordinance amending the Fiscal Year 2016-2017 Water & Sewer Fund Budget.
