Report
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors acting on behalf of County Service Area No. 75 - Chualar:
a. Approve an Operating Transfer Out from the FY 2014-15 Adopted Budget for Capital Projects, Fund 402-3000-8174-7614-RMA014 in the amount of $67,454 to County Service Area No. 75 - Chualar Fund 093-3000-8198-RMA088 (4/5th vote required); and
b. Authorize the Auditor Controller's Office to incorporate approved modifications in the FY 2014-15 Budget.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
On September 9, 2015 the Board approved a $325,000 increase in appropriations and revenues for FY 2014-15 Adopted Budget for Resource Management Agency (RMA), Fund 093-3000-8198 RMA088, County Service Area Chualar. The second action taken by the Board was to approve an Operating Transfer Out from the FY 2014-15 Adopted Budget for Facilities Maintenance Projects, Fund 401-3000-8184-7614-RMA004 in the amount of $257,546 to County Service Area No. 75. The third action taken by the Board to approve a "transfer of appropriations" in the amount of $67,454 from Fund 402-3000-8198 RMA014 was incorrectly worded. The recommended action will correct the language to authorize an "Operating Transfer Out" and enable the Auditor-Controller's Office to effect the transaction.
The funds were approved by the Board on July 22, 2014 for the following purposes:
(1) Operation & maintenance activities: $200,000;
(2) Short term rate study: $25,000, and
(3) Long term system master plan with an associated rate study: $100,000.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
RMA-Public Works manages the Chualar sewer system through CSA 75. Upgrading the sewer system will be in-line with a recent Grand Jury recommendation.
FINANCING:
There is an impact to the FY 2014-15 adopted projects in the Facility Maintenance Projects Fund, Fund 401. On July 22, 2014, the Board unanimously agreed to transfer $257,546 allocated in Fund 401 for Equipment and Storm Water Management and delaying this project until future funding can be identified. In addition, the Board agreed to transfer $67,454 allocated in Fund 402 Capital Project towards the 142 W. Alisal - Old Jail Adaptive Reuse Study. There is no impact to the Reuse project, as sufficient progress has been made resulting in project savings of $67,454. The approved transfers will increase appropriations and revenues in the amount of $325,000 to Fund 093-3000-8198-RMA088, Chualar Service Area 075.
