Fiscal Note
The proposed resolution amends the 2021 Operating Budget for the Fleet Services Division. Under the proposed amendment, $200,000 would be transferred from Supplies to Purchased Services. The increase in Purchased Services funding will support several unanticipated repairs, increases in utility costs at the new Nakoosa building, and changes in the way certain Engineering costs are billed beginning in 2021. The 2022 Cost-to-Continue Budget has been adjusted to reflect these changes beginning in 2022. Funding is available in the Supplies fuel lines due to projected underspending associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.
