Title
Resolution to Amend the Fiscal Year 2025 Council Approved Budget to Appropriate $3,200,000 from the Equipment Replacement Fund's Unrestricted Net Position to the Fleet Services Budget to Fund Critical Upgrade Costs for the Public Works - Fleet Services Division Fuel Island at North Armistead Avenue
Purpose
PURPOSE/BACKGROUND:
In order to continue working, the Fleet fuel island located at 413 North Armistead Avenue ("North Armistead Fuel Island") has reached the end of its life and is in need of hardware improvements, electrical upgrades, and software updates. A budget amendment is necessary to appropriate funds for the needed improvements.
Discussion:
The Equipment Replacement Fund was established to manage the replacement of City-owned equipment assets that are necessary for the day-to-day operations of City departments. The North Armistead Fuel Island supports all City-owned equipment and assets in their daily operations. This amendment will effectively reduce reserves with the future financial implication being that departments will have to replace the funds over a period of years.
Impact:
As of June 30, 2024, the balance of the Equipment Replacement Fund's Unrestricted Net Position is $25,601,251. After the $3,200,000 appropriation to replace the fuel island, the balance of the Equipment Replacement Fund's Unrestricted Net Position will be $22,401,251.
Recommendation:
Rec
Approve.
