ITEM TITLE:
Resolution Approving appropriation from Sewer Service
SUBMITTED BY ::::n::g::::r n~:rie'ed balenna
In April 1979 the City Council approved Resolutions 9569 and 9570 which
authorized execution of agreements with the Montgomery and Spring Valley
Sanitation Districts. Those agreements, subsequently approved by the
respective Districts' Boards, allowed an upward adjustment of charges paid
by the City to the districts. The City in August 1979 made payment for
the aggregate backcharges covered by the agreements in the total amount
of approximately $121,000. The 79-80 Sewer Service Revenue budget did not
include provision for the full amount of the backcharges and so will
shortly be depleted unless supplemented. Therefore it is now necessary
to increase the operating account from the unappropriated balance of the
Sewer Service Revenue Fund. It is my
(4/5ths Vote: Yes~ No___)
RECOMMENDATION: That Council appropriate $68,000 from the Sewer Service
Revenue Fund Unappropriated Balance to Account 225-2250-5203.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
The Sewer Service budget has for the last three years included provision
for the increased charges by the two serving Sanitation Districts.
However, those increased charges' could not be paid until formal modifi-
cation of the base agreements had been accomplished. Those modifications
were finally accomplished in early FY1979-80 and backcharges between
June 1976 and July 1979 were paid from the 79-80 2250 accounts. Funds
were not carried forward from 76-77, 77-78, or 78-79 since any unexpended
balances automatically reverted to the Sewer Service Revenue Fund
unappropriated balance. In the interest of simplicity, Engineering staff
chose to wait until all of the figures were available and then meet all
of the deficit with only one appropriation (as is now being requested) .
An April 1980 evaluation of the status of the sewer service shows a total
due during the remainder of 1979-80 in the amount of $87,810. This is
offset in part by an available~alance of $20,410 in the account, leaving
a projected deficit of $67,400.
I recommend that $68,000 be appropriated ~o as to meet this projected
need. (Billings now in hand exceed the currently available $20,410 balance.)
FISCAL IMPACT:
The March 31, 1980 unappropriated balance in the Sewer Service Revenue
Fund was $752,699'.82'; This requested appropriation is in the amount of
