SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE BUDGETING AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS IN THE
AMOUNT OF $124,105.58 FROM THE SEWER USER FUND RESERVES FOR
THE PURCHASE OF SANITARY SEWER INSPECTION EQUIPMENT FROM
NEVEREST EQUIPMENT COMPANY
SUMMARY:
Attached is an Ordinance budgeting and appropriating funds in the amount of $124,105.58 from
the Sewer User Fund Reserves to purchase sanitary sewer inspection equipment.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
Capital Equipment budget of $200,000 was approved in the 2014 Budget by City Council.
BACKGROUND
Funding was approved in the 2014 Budget for the Wastewater Department for the purchase of a
new sewer inspection van. The inspection equipment was ordered from Neverest Equipment
Company, but not received prior to the end of 2014. The van was ordered from Phil Long Ford
and was received on December 29, 2014. Due to the late delivery of the van, time was not
available for the sewer inspection equipment, which was ordered from Neverest Equipment
Company, to be installed prior to the end of the City’s fiscal year. Since the equipment has
been ordered and the 2014 budget has lapsed, this Ordinance is requesting the funds be
budgeted and appropriated in 2015 from the Sewer User Fund Reserves to pay for the sewer
inspection equipment once it has been installed.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Funds in the amount of $124,105.58 shall be budgeted and appropriated from the 2015 Sewer
User Fund Reserves.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
None.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
None.
ALTERNATIVES:
Alternative No. 1 - No Action. Under this alternative by not having the sewer inspection van
available, the Wastewater Department will not be able to inspect the condition of sewer mains to
determine potential problems and enable the timely repair of the mains to prevent breaks and
spills which would create a serious health and safety issue to the public.
RECOMMENDATION
The Wastewater Department recommends approval of this Ordinance.

None
