Report
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors adopt a Resolution to authorize and direct the Auditor-Controller to transfer $65,491 in Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-25 from General Fund 001, Parks Operations Appropriation Unit PFP058, to Vehicle Replacement Planning Fund 478-VRP, Appropriation Unit PFP068 for two Ranger Vehicles (4/5ths vote required).
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
The Department of Public Works, Facilities and Parks (PWFP) - Parks Division coordinated with Fleet to purchase two RAM 1500 4x4 Crew Cab trucks for use by the Park Rangers. The total cost of the vehicles is $128,551. The order was placed in April 2025, and delivery was originally expected by June 30, 2025.
However, due to delays in shipment, the vehicles will not arrive until July 2025-after the close of FY 2024-25. Because of this delay, PWFP is requesting approval to transfer $65,491 from the FY 2024-25 budget to the Vehicle Replacement Planning Fund. This amount can be combined with prior contributions into the Vehicle Asset Management Program of $63,060 to fully fund the purchase in FY 2025-26.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
This report was reviewed by the County Administrative Office Budget & Analysis Division.
FINANCING:
The General Fund-Parks FY 2024-25 adopted budget includes the $65,491 in appropriations for these vehicles. In addition, as of the date this report was written, Park revenue collections exceed the FY 2024-25 budget by more than $169,000, and expenditures are forecasted to remain well below budget. Approving this request will allow Parks to reserve the funds and complete the purchase in FY 2025-26.
