RECOMMENDATION Approval of this Resolution. BACKGROUND The Water Reclamation Facility operates and maintains an ever increasing number of miles of sanitary sewer main. As of the end of 2012 there were close to 470 miles of sewer main. Whenever a condition is discovered that poses an imminent threat to public health or property, an emergency repair must be performed to maintain compliance with environmental laws and to protect citizens. Emergency conditions are difficult to foresee as are the associated costs to repair them. The cost of repairing a recent sanitary sewer main break on Orman Avenue will exceed the amount currently available in the Emergency/Point Repair (WWAN03) project balance. This proposed transfer of funds will cover this recent break and provide resources to deal with other emergency conditions discovered during 2013. FINANCIAL IMPACT Funding for this project will be taken from Projects to be Determined (accounts WW1199 and WW1299). RESOLUTION NO. 12699 A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE TRANSFER OF APPROPRIATED WASTEWATER FUNDS FROM PROJECTS TO BE DETERMINED (WW1199 AND WW1299) TO EMERGENCY/POINT REPAIR (WWAN03) WHEREAS, the City of Pueblo owns, operates, and maintains a wastewater collection and treatment system subject to the requirements of the Federal Clean Water Act and the Colorado Water Quality Control Act; and WHEREAS, the City of Pueblo has appropriated $1,231,356 to Projects to be Determined of which $751,403 is needed for the Emergency/Point Repair Projects (WWAN03); NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF PUEBLO, that: SECTION 1. The Finance Director is hereby authorized to execute the transfer of $620,030 from Projects to be Determined (WW1199) and $131,373 from Projects to be Determined (WW1299), a total of $751,403, to Emergency/Point Repair (WWAN03).
