Resolution No. 2017-30: FY2016-17 Final Budget Amendment
Summary:
Staff is requesting budget amendments in the General Fund and Wastewater Fund for FY 2016-17.
Body
Previous Commission Action: The Town Commission previously approved a budget amendment in September 2017, Resolution 2017-22. This budget amendment established funding for emergency response costs which were incurred in terms of personnel, materials and contract labor.
Background/Problem Discussion: The final budget amendment of the fiscal year serves largely as a "clean up" amendment in which areas of cost overage are offset either by savings or additional revenues realized. This year Hurricane Irma, and other factors, resulted in cost overages in the Police Department. In the days preceding and following the storm many of the police officers were assigned to twelve hour shifts, which contributed to cost increases. Savings were found in other departments that collectively offset these additional expenditures. The Wastewater Fund is a pass-through fund in which revenues are collected and remitted to Pinellas County Utilities. Staff is now estimating the total amount of Wastewater utility revenue and expense to be $1,160,000.
The proposed budget amendment is attached for your review.
Commission may approve, deny, or direct staff to expend in another manner for any or all expenditure lines.
Expenditure Challenges None.
Financial Implications: This budget amendment has no net effect on expenditures. $62,000 of expenditures are to be offset by expenditure reductions of $62,000 spread across multiple departments, including Building, Support Services, Public Works and Recreation.
Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of Resolution No. 2017-30.
Proposed Motion I move approval of Resolution No. 2017-30 amending...
