TITLE
A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE TRANSFER OF APPROPRIATED WASTEWATER
FUNDS FROM PROJECTS TO BE DETERMINED (WW1199 AND WW1299) TO
EMERGENCY/POINT REPAIR (WWAN03)
ISSUE
Should City Council approve the transfer of $620,030 of available funds from Projects to
be Determined (WW1199), and the transfer of $131,373 of available funds from Projects
to be Determined (WW1299) to Emergency/Point Repair (WWAN03)?
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).
