INTRODUCED: March 24, 2025 BY: Brett Boston MEMBER OF CITY COUNCIL APPROVED: __________________________ PRESIDENT OF CITY COUNCIL ATTESTED BY: ________________________ CITY CLERK City Clerk's Office Item # M1 Background Paper for Proposed Resolution COUNCIL MEETING DATE: March 24, 2025 TO: President Mark Aliff and Members of City Council CC: Mayor Heather Graham VIA: Marisa Stoller, City Clerk FROM: Andrew Hayes, Public Works Director SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE TRANSFER OF BUDGETED AND APPROPRIATED FUNDS IN THE AMOUNT OF $257,996 FROM PROJECT ACCOUNT HUAN01 - STREET RESURFACING TO PROJECT ACCOUNT HUAN04 - VEHICLES AND EQUIPMENT-PUBLIC WORKS FOR THE PURPOSE OF ACQUIRING A NEW STREET SWEEPER FOR THE STREETS DIVISION OF THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT. SUMMARY: This resolution approves the transfer of previously budgeted and appropriated funds in the amount of $257,996.00 from Project Account HUAN01 - Street Resurfacing to Project Account HUAN04 - Vehicles and Equipment-Public Works; for the purpose of acquiring a new street sweeper in the amount of $355,996 for the Streets Division of the Public Works Department. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: On April 11, 2022, City Council authorized 15 Governmental Services Projects under Resolution No. 14854 in an amount not to exceed $6,580,000 from Project Account CI2113. One of these projects was the purchase of an electric sweeper for the Public Works Department. On December 27, 2022, by Resolution No. 15100, City Council approved an amendment to the list of governmental service projects that had been identified in Resolution No. 14854 and the funding allocation between said projects. This amendment reallocated funds originally intended for the purchase of a street sweeper for the Public Works Department to other equipment based on bids received and updated cost estimates. BACKGROUND: The City currently has four Pelican street sweepers and one Broom Bear street sweeper in its inventory. One of the Pelican sweepers (#110) is far beyond its useful service life and requires replacement as soon as possible. Three of the four remaining sweepers are generally operable at any given time, but deadline (downtime) frequencies and maintenance/repair costs have been increasing sharply in recent years to keep the sweepers on the road. The Public Works Department needs to begin recapitalizing its sweeper fleet and currently has $98,351.33 available in an equipment purchase account and will need to transfer $257,996.00 from another road maintenance account in order to purchase a replacement Broom Bear sweeper. The Fleet Maintenance Department will be auctioning excess equipment, including the inoperable Pelican sweeper, in the coming weeks. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: Transferring these funds as described herein will ensure there are appropriate funds available in Project Account HUAN04 - Vehicles and Equipment - Public Works, ensuring that payments may be made from the appropriate account. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable to this resolution. STAKEHOLDER PROCESS: Not applicable to this resolution. ALTERNATIVES: If this resolution is not approved by the City Council, the required funds will not be allocated to Project Account HUAN04 - Vehicles and Equipment-Public Works. RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the resolution. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Broom Bear Sourcewell Proposal
