ENG ACCOUNT TO FUND ENGINEERING FUNDS FROM THE GENERAL FUND CONTINGENCY IECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution No. 'd"37authorizing the Finance Director to appropriate $80,000 from General Fund Contingency Account for Engineering plancheck services, ITEM EXPLANATION: The Engineering Department 1995-96 Fiscal Year Budget included $200,000 to pay for consultant plancheck services. Engineering plancheck revenues were projected to be $350,000 forthe same time frame. Application submittals for planchecking have exceeded projections resulting in additional revenues for the year. As of January 31, plancheck revenues were $285,000. Based on these actual revenues, it is anticipated that plancheck revenues will be approximately $480,000 for the fiscal year. The Engineering Department currently contracts with three (3) consultant plancheck firms to assist City staff in providing plancheck services. With increased demand for planchecking services, costs for consultant services have exceeded the $200,000 appropriation. Because of this substantial increase in plancheck submittals, an additional amount of $80,000 is needed for consuitant plancheck services. In order to maintain Council goals with the increased work load and meet the financial obligation to the consultant plancheck firms, staff is requesting that Council authorize the Finance Director to appropriate $80,000 from the General Fund Contingency Account for Engineering plancheck services, FISCAL IMPACT: - Page 2 of Agenda Bill No. /q,di5 .::.:::j'..j ... i:i'99S.ssl$LANCH,ECK.APpR~,p~~An~N~:~AN~~~~~:~~'~~~::'i:- .. .................... ...................................................... ............. .......... .................. ........ ..............
