RECOMMENDATION

title

Approval of a Budget Amendment increasing appropriations in the Lake Berryessa Resort Improvement District operations budget in the amount of $80,000 to cover the cost of continued operations and maintenance expenses through the end of the fiscal year.

body

 

BACKGROUND

District staff continuously monitors the operations and capital budgets throughout each fiscal year. A part of this continuous review is the submittal of the six-month budget projections to fiscal staff, and a recommendation for additional funds needed to allow the District to operate through the end of the fiscal year. The six-month review of the operations budget (Fund 5220, Subdivision 5220000) shows that expenditures will exceed approved appropriations by the end of the fiscal year. Since the adoption of the operating budget in June 2024, several unplanned equipment and pipe failures in the water and sewer systems required urgent repairs above and beyond what was originally budgeted to maintain uninterrupted operations of the water and sewer systems. Additionally, along with the noted repairs, increased compensation for operations contractor oversight was necessary to oversee the repairs and to address raw water quality concerns in July 2024 and process control issues at the water treatment plant caused by November 2024 storms. While District staff includes budget for a variety of unexpected repairs each year, the actual and projected costs of these repairs in the current fiscal year exceeded the estimated values adopted by the Board during the budget hearings and a budget amendment from available fund balance in amount of $80,000 is needed to allow the District to continue paying invoices through the end of the fiscal year.
Requested Action:
1. Approve a Budget Amendment increasing appropriation $80,000 in the Lake Berryessa Resort Improvement
District operations
   a. Increase Other Professional Services Expense $30,000
   b. Increase Maintenance-Equip Expense $15,000
   c. Increase Maintenance-Infrastructure Expense $25,000
   d. Increase Minor Equipment Expense $10,000
   e. Offset all expense increases against available fund balance
