Title
Consideration of and action on an ordinance amending the Fiscal Year 2018-2019 Budget for Senior Services.
Body
Summary:
On May 9, 2015, the eligible voters of the City approved a proposition regarding the imposition of a Type B economic development sales and use tax for specific public parks purposes, including $2,000,000.00 for the expansion of the Maxwell Center and parking lot. Because the awning on the exterior of the new building will not cover the sidewalk cuts needed to accommodate wheelchairs and walkers, it has been requested that the City extend the awning so patrons requiring wheelchair access onto the sidewalk will not get wet or encounter slip hazards from a wet sidewalk when it is raining. This extension can be done for a cost of approximately $33,800.00.
The cost of construction, renovation, and improvement of the Maxwell Center and parking lot is expected to exceed the $2,000,000.00 allocated to the project due to the higher than expected renovation costs, including the contingency and the cost for extended days based on the contract. In order to provide the extension of the awning on the new building, the City is requesting an amendment to the Fiscal Year 2018-2019 Senior Services Budget in the amount of $33,800.00 to cover the cost of this additional construction. Funding is available from the unassigned fund balance of the General Fund.
Fiscal/Budgetary Impact:
Increase the Fiscal Year 2018-2019 Budget for Senior Services by $33,800.00 (10-415-4902, Buildings) to be funded by the unassigned fund balance of the General Fund, which is available for this purpose.
Recommended action
Approve the ordinance amending the Fiscal Year 2018-2019 Senior Services Budget.
