4/l 7/01 BUDGET AMENDMENTS fz!t CITY All-Y. ’
‘DEPT. PW CITY MGR-
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2\001-/IS increasing the appropriations in the Traffic Signals,
Street Lighting, and Solid Waste budgets for fiscal year 2000-01.
i lTEM EXPLANATION:
Upon review of the Street Lighting and Traffic Signal Maintenance heat and light budgets,
staff realized there was inadequate funding to cover the increased electricity costs for the remainder
of the year. Electricity costs for street lights and traffic signals have been legislatively capped at 6.5#
per kilowatt hour, exclusive of transmission costs, which have remained unchanged. The rate was
approximately 3.58 per kWh one year ago. Based on staffs review, an additional $70,000, or 21%,
in Street Lighting, and $54,000, or 30%, in Traffic Signals is being requested.
In addition, grant funding received last year for the Used Oil Block Grant was not appropriated in
1999-2000. The net unspent amount of that grant ($39,516) should be appropriated in 2000-01. In addition, another $26,973 has been requested and is expected for the current fiscal year,
and should be appropriated upon receipt. These funds are earmarked for the purchase and
installation of “no dumping” thermoplastic storm drain markings. These markings have a 30-year life
span, and are not subject to fading as the current stencils are.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The $54,000 increase to the Traffic Signals appropriations will come from the General Fund
contingencies. The increased appropriations in Street Lighting ($70,000) and Solid Waste ($39,518)
will come from the reserves of the respective fund balances. There are sufficient balances available
in each of the individual funds to support these appropriations.

Street Lighting, and Solid Waste budgets for fiscal year 2000-01.
